Trina Krug commented on TRAFODION-1885: --------------------------------------- Initial Configuration/Pre-work: <Trafodion stopped> * A static initial configuration can be made to include a larger set of nodes than what will initially be used. The node names do not need to be known as those can be changed at a later date through the shell. * The sqconfig file will need to contain the max number of configurable nodes * an Environment variable (TRAF_EXCLUDE_LIST) will be set in /etc/trafodion/trafodion_config and contain a list of space separated node names to be excluded upon in initial startup (TRAF_EXCLUDE_LIST=nodenameX nodenameY...). Each node needs an up to date version of this file. * the DCS servers file will need to be modified to include only those active nodes at initial startup time ($DCS_INSTALL_DIR/conf/servers). Each nodes needs an up to date version of this file. <Trafodion can be started> To add a node online: * Modify TRAF_EXCLUDE_LIST to remove a node (one at a time) that you will be adding. Make sure any shell you use after this point is fresh and has the updated TRAF_EXCLUDE_LIST in its latest form. * With “sqshell -a”, now reintegrate the new node into the cluster by issuing an “up nodename” command * Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each new node. Please wait a few minutes between adding nodes to give the cluster a chance to settle. * Modify dcs servers file ($DCS_INSTALL_DIR/conf/servers) to include the hostname of the new nodes along with the count of servers that need to be started on the new nodes and copy the servers file to all nodes in the cluster. With the help of ‘$DCS_INSTALL_DIR/bin/dcs-daemons.sh start server’ command you can start additional DcsServer and mxosrvrs on the newly added nodes without effecting the mxosrvrs that are already up and running. Verify by issuing ‘dcscheck’ command which will display the count of all DcsServers and mxosrvrs in the cluster > Online node expansion > --------------------- > > Key: TRAFODION-1885 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRAFODION-1885 > Project: Apache Trafodion > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: foundation > Reporter: Trina Krug > Assignee: Trina Krug > > Need the ability to add nodes without an outage. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
