Web Server Clustering Setup
The following describes tasks needed to move existing files to the common share and basic
properties which you must enable to turn on clustering. You must shut down OpenManage
Network Manager during this process.
Common Documents and Media Share Setup
1
Set up a network share location dedicated to store the documents and media. If you are
unsure how to do this consult with your network administrator and ask him/her to setup a
share that can be mounted across the clustered nodes. Each operating system type is different
and this is standard network setup, not covered in this document.
2
Mount the new share on each node within the cluster.
3
If you used a single server setup previously or multiple servers without clustering, locate the
original or first node in the previous setup and do the following:
a. Navigate to the nodes
<installdir>/oware/synergy/data
directory and copy the
document_library
to the share. If an
images
directory exists, copy that too.
b. If other nodes were previously running then do the previous step (a), but copy/merge the
contents to produce a merged view
You should now have a directory structure of
SHARE/document_library
and (if it existed
during the steps above,
SHARE/images
).
Property Configuration
Do the steps below on each node within the cluster. Start with the first node and repeat the same
steps until complete.
Edit the Property File
1
Navigate to the
<installdir>/oware/synergy/conf
directory
2
If you have an existing
server-overrides.properties
file then you can edit it here. If
not rename or copy the
server-overrides.properties.sample
to
server-
overrides.properties
. Edit the new
server-overrides.properties
file.
3
Locate the Clustering section within this file. If you do not have a clustering section or some
of the properties mentioned below do not exist, you can edit the
.sample
file and copy the
updated section into the
.properties
file. You can also add the properties mentioned
below. Installation updates the sample file with the most current comments and newer
properties. The
server-overrides.properties.sample
file is a reference template.
