IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager, Version 2.1.1

Deploying multiple nodes as a cluster

Deploy multiple gateway instances in a clustered configuration with a front-end load balancer for high availability.

About this task

In a clustered deployment, deploy the Privileged Session Gateway behind a load balancer. In the cluster, the load balancer routes session connection requests and traffic to the nodes.

Procedure

  1. Prepare the Linux host and response file.

    See step 2 to 6 in Deploying a single node.

  2. Initialize a Privileged Session Gateway node.

    ./run.sh -f -r gateway1.rsp

    where

    gateway1.rsp, might contain the following parameters:

    ...
    gateway_id=gateway1 
    outbound_certificate_directory=~/session-gateway/certs_out/
    https=no
    port=9080
    activation_key=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
    ...
    Note: To initialize more nodes on the cluster, on another prepared Linux host, run the following command to add another gateway node, gateway2, with port number 9080:

    ./run.sh -f -r gateway2.rsp

    where

    gateway2.rsp, might contain the following parameters:

    ...
    gateway_id=gateway2 
    outbound_certificate_directory=~/session-gateway/certs_out/
    https=no
    port=9080
    activation_key=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
    ...
  3. Verify that the nodes are successfully initialized.

    docker ps
