After the first Central region pod is joined to the pod federation, the View administrator joins the second
Central region pod to the pod federation. In this example, the View administrator runs the command for the
second pod on central6.example.
lmvutil --authAs adminCentral --authDomain example --authPassword secret456 --join --joinServer
east1.example --userName example\adminEast --password secret123
After the second command finishes, all 10 View Connection Server instances across both pods in the
insurance company's Central region are part of the pod federation.
Creating Sites for the Eastern and Central Region Datacenters
A View administrator creates a site for the insurance company's Central and Eastern datacenters and adds
pods to those sites.
1
The View administrator runs the lmvutil command with the --createSite option to create each site.
A View administrator can run these commands on any View Connection Server instance in the pod
federation. In this example, the View administrator runs the commands on east1.example.
This command creates a site for the Eastern region datacenter:
lmvutil --authAs adminEast --authDomain example --authPassword "*" --createSite --siteName
"Eastern Region"
This command creates a site for the Central region datacenter:
lmvutil --authAs adminEast --authDomain example --authPassword "*" --createSite --siteName
"Central Region"
2
The View administrator runs the lmvutil command with the --listPods option to determine the
default names of the pods in the pod federation. A View administrator can run this command on any
View Connection Server instance in the pod federation. In this example, the View administrator runs
the command on east1.example.
lmvutil --authAs adminEast --authDomain example --authPassword "*" --listPods
3
The View administrator runs the lmvutil command with the --updatePod option for each pod to
change its default name. A View administrator can run this command on any View Connection Server
instance in the pod federation. In this example, the View administrator runs the commands on
east1.example.
This command changes the name of the Eastern region pod to East Pod 1:
lmvutil --authAs adminEast --authDomain example --authPassword "*" --updatePod --podName
"Cluster-east1" --newPodName "East Pod 1"
This command changes the name of the first Central region pod to Central Pod 1:
lmvutil --authAs adminEast --authDomain example --authPassword "*" --updatePod --podName
"Cluster-central1" --newPodName "Central Pod 1"
This command changes the name of the second Central region pod to Central Pod 2:
lmvutil --authAs adminEast --authDomain example --authPassword "*" --updatePod --podName
"Cluster-central6" --newPodName "Central Pod 2"
4
The View administrator runs the lmvutil command with the --assignPodToSite option for each pod
to assign it to the newly created sites. A View administrator can run this command on any View
Connection Server instance in the pod federation. In this example, the View administrator runs the
commands on east1.example.
This command adds the East Pod 1 pod to the Eastern Region site:
lmvutil --authAs adminEast --authDomain example --authPassword "*" --assignPodToSite --
podName "East Pod 1" --siteName "Eastern Region"
