Assigning ePortal Specialty Engine ISM-0 as a Standby ePortal
System
After ISM-0 or the ePortal Specialty Engine of ISM-0 is recovered from the failure while the
ePortal Specialty Engine of ISM-0 was an active ePortal system and the ePortal Specialty
Engine of ISM-1 took over as an active ePortal system, you must perform the following
steps to assign the ePortal Specialty Engine of ISM-0 as a standby ePortal system.
To avoid any confusion later in determining which is the active ePortal system, you should
remove all virtual servers configuration from ISM-0 ePortal and modify the host name of
ISM-0 ePortal Manager from EP0-Active to EP0-Standby by performing the following
steps:
1. From the Component View tab of the MCP Console, locate the ePortal Manager for
ISM-0 by clicking ePortal under ISM and s-Par ® , and verify that the host name is
EP0–Active (if the host name is EP1–Active, click ePortal under the other ISM
and s-Par ® ). Then, launch the ISM-0 ePortal Manager website by right-clicking the
ePortal and selecting Launch ePortal Browser.
2. Log on with the ePortal user account and password. Both the user and password are
case-sensitive.
3. Remove all virtual server configurations from ePortal Manager website by following
these steps:
a. Click Virtual Servers on the list of links on the left side of the page.
b. Click the virtual server name.

f. Repeat the preceding steps for all virtual servers.

ePortal system
4. Click Controller in the list of links on the left side of the page.
5. Click Modify, change the name from EP0-Active to EP0-Standby, and then click

Note: Once the transition is complete, the Component View tab of the MCP Console
should reflect the host name change in the ePortal under the components ISM and s-Par ®
and you should be launching the new active ePortal Manager to manage the ePortal
system.
