Adding another loader
Adding another loader
- First thing to do would be to get the 2nd DMZ relay up and running.
- 2nd would be to set up the new loader/relay.
- 3rd would be to adjust the relays to talk to the new loader.
- After that, adjust the DNS servers and virtual webApps to include the new relays.
- You also need to make sure that the DMZ relays will be able to talk to this new loader on the inside of network.
-- New DMZ Relay --
- Install the OS, and install the SAME version of webNetwork on this new box.
- Once webNetwork is running, run the wizard to add a new relay.
- Once the relay is up, test it and make sure things are working.
-- New Inside Relay/Loader --
- Install the OS and install the same version of webNetwork on this new box.
- Run a full new install, making sure to replace the word default (as in defaultProfile) with something like your server name so it is unique from the other webnetwork installs.
- Once done, test the relay that gets auto installed to make sure you can login on this new standalone system.
- If that works, the next thing to configure the cluster.
-- Make Cluster --
- On the original loader, go to the 8090 console and go to cluster services.
Cluster Port: 16000
Connection Port: 16010
Host Address: DNS name or IP address of this box. (We recommend using the short name of the DNS name, and adding them to the hosts files on all the servers if necessary).
Cluster Network: Pool Network
Max Connection Pool: -1
Persistence Repository: File Repository
Socket Timeout: 0
Connection Timeout: 2
Asynchronous Garbage: checked
Garbage Delay: 300
- When you click save, it will activate a 1 node cluster.
- Go back to cluster services and click on Cluster status. It should show itself and say UP.
- This is now Node 0 in the cluster.
-- Join Cluster --
- On the new loader, go to the 8090 console, cluster services and click Join Cluster.
- You will be asked for:
Cluster Address: DNS name or IP address of Node 0. (We recommend using the short name of the DNS name, and adding them to the hosts files on all the servers if necessary).
Cluster Port: 16000
Connection Port: 16010
Host Address: DNS name or IP address of this box. (We recommend using the short name of the DNS name, and adding them to the hosts files on all the servers if necessary).
Cluster Network: Pool Network
Max Connection Pool: -1
Persistence Repository: File Repository
Socket Timeout: 0
Connection Timeout: 2
Asynchronous Garbage: checked
Garbage Delay: 300
- When you click save, it will join the cluster.
- Go back to cluster services and click on Cluster status. It should show itself and the other node.
- This is now Node 1 in the cluster.
- Go to the 8090 console on Node 0 and do a cluster status to make sure that both nodes show up.
-- Adjust Relays --
- Go to the first DMZ relay's 8090 Console, Select the Services tab, Right-click on the relay service, Choose Properties.
- The Service Address field will have the DNS/IP that points to your original loader, you will want to add a "," (comma) and the DNS/IP of the new relay (example: "x.x.x.x,y.y.y.y").
- Doing this will allow the relay to talk to both loaders in case one has been taken down for maintenance.
- Do the same thing for the other relays.
-- Adjust virtual webApplications --
- Go to your DNS server and adjust your relay DNS names to include the new relays.
- Adjust the DNS entries for virtual webApps to include the new DNS names.
