Setting up multi-datacenter clustering

This section discusses MDHA-specific setup.

About this task

For general information about installing and configuring IBM® UrbanCode Deploy, see Installing servers and agents.

Procedure

To set up multi-datacenter clustering, do the following steps in order:

  1. Install the database. The shared database should be installed on a separate system and before the servers are installed. See Installing the database. Complete database installation by configuring the appropriate JDBC driver (typically supplied by the database vendor).
  2. Create an empty database for IBM UrbanCode Deploy. The database should have at least one dedicated user account.
  3. Install the first IBM UrbanCode Deploy server, See Installing the server.
    For HDMA, link the following server directories to a shared network drive:
    server_install_directory/logs
    server_install_directory/var/config
    server_install_directory/var/email
    server_install_directory/var/plugins
    server_install_directory/var/repository
    In the IBM UrbanCode Deploy web interface, configure the server as a network relay by defining:
    Name
    Host
    Port
    Make sure that you check the Active check box.
  4. For each additional server that participates in the HDMA topology:
    1. Link it to the listed directories on the shared drive.
    2. Configure each one to use the same database configuration as the first server.
    3. Configure each one as a network relay, as described above.
  5. Install load balancers. The load balancers should be in front of the web interface.
