16.1 Adding a New Server to a Driver

To run a driver on a server, you must ensure that the server is configured and prepared to run the driver. You must install the server into the Identity Vault, install and configure Identity Manager on the new server, add the server to the driver set, copy server-specific information over to the new server, and copy additional driver requirements over to the new server. For more information, see Adding New Servers to the Driver Set in the NetIQ Identity Manager Setup Guide for Linux.

  1. Add the new server to the driver set and copy the server-specific information of the driver set to the new server.

  2. Copy server-specific information for the driver using iManager:

    1. Log in to iManager.

    2. Click to display the Identity Manager Administration page.

    3. Click Identity Manager Overview.

    4. Browse to and select the container that holds the driver set.

    5. Click the driver set name to access the Driver Set Overview page.

    6. Click the driver actions and then click Copy Data.

    7. Select the source and destination server and select the data you want to copy over fro the source to the destination server and click OK.

  3. Copy the driver-specific information to the new server.

    1. Right-click the driver set and then select Copy > Server-specific settings.

    2. From the list of available servers, select the new server.

    3. Click OK.

    4. Click Yes to merge or overwrite the server-specific information on the new server.

      NetIQ recommends you to select No.

  4. Copy the required driver files and configuration to the new server. Depending on the drivers you are copying over to the new server, you may want to copy some jar files or perform some steps to start and run the driver on the new server. For more information, see the individual driver documentation for specific requirements of each drivers.
