Configuring a federation
The following steps are required to configure the federated CMS environment. Perform these steps:
•
after federated CMS is enabled automatically during a new Insight Management 7.0 installation
•
after federated CMS is enabled manually after a new Insight Management 7.0 installation
that did not successfully enable federated CMS
IMPORTANT: In a federated CMS environment, the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of
any participating CMS cannot be changed.
If the IP address of the primary CMS is changed, reconfigure the trusted list of each secondary
CMS (described in step 1 below).
1. Configure secondary CMSs
When complete, this step configures Systems Insight Manager's federated CMS list on the
primary CMS, exchanges certificates between the primary and secondary CMSs, configures
the primary CMS as trusted on the secondary CMSs, and displays the newly added CMSs in
Systems Insight Manager.

On the primary CMS, in Systems Insight Manager, select Options
→Federated CMS
