Configuring Application Nodes

Edit online

You must configure the Application Node to set up IBM Data Risk Manager high availability. The IBM Data Risk Manager high-availability cluster can contain a maximum of two Application Nodes.

Before you begin

Ensure that the password for a3user is available.

Before you configure Application Node, review the considerations and restrictions that are listed in the Configuring high availability topic.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the IBM Data Risk Manager virtual machine (VM) instance that needs to be configured as an Application Node, as a3user over SSH.
  2. Go to the following directory. 
    cd IDRM_HA_Config/
  3. From the command line, run the following script. 
    ./configure_ha
  4. Specify the number of Primary Node to be configured. Only one Primary Node can be configured.
  5. Specify IP address of the Primary Node.

    Configuration operation starts only when the specified IP address is correct. After the configuration process is complete, a message is displayed to indicate that Application Node is bound to Primary Node (load balancer system).

What to do next

After configuration of all the VM instances for high availability, you can access IBM Data Risk Manager by using the following web address.
