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 fill in the values for HOST and 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.

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 HOST, HA_HOST, HA_DISPLAYHOST, and HA_FAILBACK 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.
