Configure HA

To configure high availability:

1.

On both the primary and backup hosts, define the following environment variables:

PRIMARYHOST - the IP Address or hostname of the host running the primary servers (for example, set PRIMARYHOST=MyHost).

BACKUPHOST - the IP Address or hostname of the host running the backup servers (for example, set BACKUPHOST=OtherHost).

2.

Install Solution Package for Solace on both the primary and backup host.

3.

Configure your Solution Package for Solace servlets to be HA and deploy them to your application server:

–

cd projects\rtview-server

–

In a text editor, open update_wars (.bat or .sh) and set the values for HOST and HA_HOST. You can un-comment the lines that set them to the environment variables PRIMARYHOST and BACKUPHOST respectively (recommended), or you can set them explicitly to the hostname or IP addresses that you used for those environment variables.

–

Run the update_wars(.sh or .bat) script.

–

Copy the generated war files to the webapps directory of your application server.

4.

Configure your RTView Manager servlets to be HA and deploy them to your application server:

–

cd projects\rtview-manager

–

In a text editor, open update_wars (.bat or .sh) and fill in the values for HOSTand HA_HOST as described in the script.

–

Run the update_wars (.sh or .bat) script.

–

Copy the generated war files to the webapps directory of your application server.

5.

To run high availability, you must run from the command line:

Windows:

–

From the command line on the primary host, type: bin\start_servers -haprimary.

–

From the command line on the backup host, type bin\start_servers -habackup.

UNIX:

–

From the command line on the primary host, type bin/start_servers.sh -haprimary.

–

From the command line on the backup host, type bin/start_servers.sh -habackup.
