Configuring the Codar node

This chapter describes how to install, upgrade, and configure an Codar node in an Codar cluster configured for HA (for example, codar_node1, codar_node2, or codar_node3).

The Codar node consists of:

  • Codar
  • Identity Management component

To configure the Codar node, do the following:

  1. Install Codar
  2. ConfigureCodar

Installing Codar

Install Codar on each Codar node as described in the Codar Installation Guide with the following exceptions:

  • You must install the same version of Codar on each node.

  • Install Codar in the same location in which you installed or will install Codar on all Codar nodes.

  • Install the Codar database components and create the database schema for one and only one of the Codar nodes. HPE recommends that you create the schema when you install Codar on the first Codar node. Then, you do not need to create the schema when you install Codar on the other nodes.

    Note: All Codar nodes must connect to the same database schema. However, you only need to create the database schema once.
  • You can only use the installer to install sample content on the node on which database components have been installed and the database schema has been created. On the other nodes in the cluster, use the HPE Cloud Content Capsule Installer to install the sample content after the database schema has been created. Refer to the Cloud Service Automation Content Installation Guide for more information.
  • If you are installing an external (existing) standalone instance of Operations Orchestration, HPE recommends that you install HPE Operations Orchestration in its own cluster configured for HA. Refer to the Operations Orchestration documentation for more information.

    When installing Codar, if you have selected to install an embedded version of Operations Orchestration, perform the steps in the Installing and configuring Operations Orchestration chapter.

  • You must configure a secure protocol connection (such as TLS) between Operations Orchestration and all Codar nodes.

Configuring Codar

Complete the following tasks to configure Codar on each Codar node:

  1. Edit properties
  2. Enable JNDI
  3. Request for a software license
  4. Configure JBoss
  5. Configure a secure connection
  6. Configure the Identity Management component
  7. Reconfigure the Codar service
  8. Configure Single Sign-On
  9. Share filesystem resources
