NCM installation on a intergrated seperate server (Please Help)

gregster

Hi,

I'm using three VM servers as a SolarWinds deployment test bed.

Each VM is running server 2012 R2, and the database server is running SQL 2012

The Three servers are named:

swtestapp (Which has NPM installed)

swtestapp2 (which is where I want to install NCM to, but integrate it with NPM on the swtestapp server)

swtestdb (which is the database server with SQL 2012 installed)

I have already installed NPM on swtestapp which in turn has setup an instance on the SQL server.

And I want to install NCM on swtestapp2 but have it integrated with NPM on swtestapp, but when I run the install for NCM it just wants to install as if it was a stand alone product.

I'm fairly new to this and it's proving to be a pretty steep but interesting learning curve.

I hope there's someone out there who can understand my pain and frustration.

Kind Regards

Greg.

Hi gregster,

If you want to install the current version of NCM (7.2.1) and have it integrated with NPM, you have to install both of them on the same machine.

Greg,

On your swtestapp (NPM) server, you need to install the NCM Integration Module. This will add the NCM portions/content to the main Orion website on your NPM server.

Once the NCM Integration Module is installed, you just need to point it to your new NCM server on swtestapp2 by going to Admin -> NCM settings on your NPM server and point it to swtestapp2.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Mike

also, as of a few days ago, 2012 R2 is not officially supported yet...

What version of NCM are you trying to put on a separate server?

You can install them on separate servers, but I don't think you can integrate them using the latest versions.

Have a look at the following:
