Configure regions according to resource groups

Perform this task when you want to configure the geographic regions of a cluster and there is no resource group in the cluster that spans multiple regions.

  1. From the PMC, select Resources > Repository Service Regions.
  2. In the dropdown list next to Define regions by, select Resource Group.
  3. In the Global Actions dropdown list, select Create a new Region.

    The Create A New Repository Service Region dialog displays.

  4. Enter the name of the region. Names must be unique for each region.
  5. Select resource groups that belong to the region from the Available resource groups section.
  6. Do one of the following:
    • If you want the local RS to be started on a host in an existing resource group, choose Existing resource group and select the resource group from the dropdown list.

    • If you want the local RS to be started on a host in a new resource group, choose Create new resource group ... and enter the RS host name in the textbox. If you want to specify additional hosts for failover, separate them with a (,).

  7. If necessary, change the listening port number of the new local RS.
  8. Click in the Specify repository directory ... checkbox if you want to set up a shared directory for the local RS.
