Example: Installation and configuration of multiple high availability zones (Cinder)
You might have a scenario that requires two or more Cinder availability zones to satisfy the requirements from high availability, load balancing, and so on. The following steps show an example of adding Cinder availability zones to an existing IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack environment.
Using the screen command
The screen command can be used to start or shut down the IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack server or to access the OSGI console when the server is up and running when running Linux®.
Using the nohup command
On Linux, if you start a process from the command line and then log off, the processes you started are generally terminated, even if you spawn them as background processes, because each process is sent a hang up signal (SIGHUP). The nohup command allows you to start a process with the hang up signal disabled so that the process is not ended when you log off.
