Set up a distributed Service Manager Service Portal cluster

This section describes the detailed steps to set up a distributed Service Manager Service Portal cluster.

Prerequisites

Before you proceed, make sure that you have met the following prerequisites:

Five (or more) VMs are available to use for the distributed Service Manager Service Portal cluster.

For the minimum hardware and software requirements of each VM, see the Service Manager Service Portal section in the Support matrix and deployment sizing guide.

You have made a note of the fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) and IP addresses of the five (or more) VMs.

This section uses the following items to refer to the host FQDNs.

Item	Description
<LB node host FQDN>	FQDN of the load balancer node host
<application node 1 FQDN>	FQDN of the Service Manager Service Portal application node 1 host
<application node 2 FQDN>	FQDN of the Service Manager Service Portal application node 2 host
<master DB node FQDN>	FQDN of the Service Manager Service Portal master database node host
<slave DB node FQDN>	FQDN of the Service Manager Service Portal slave database node host

You have obtained one virtual IP address, which will be used as the DB VIP (a floating IP address for the database nodes)

Item	Description
<DB VIP>	Virtual IP address for the database nodes

The setup process consists of the following tasks.

Note In this section, it is assumed that five Service Manager Service Portal nodes will be set up; however, you can add additional Service Manager Service Portal cluster nodes according to your needs.

Task 1. Install Service Manager Service Portal on all nodes

Task 2. Set a password for "propel" on each node

Task 3. Change the host name to lowercase on each database node

Task 4. Prepare the load balancer node

Task 5. Run the Distributed Service Manager Service Portal scripts on the load balancer node

Task 6. Configure OO database connection on application nodes

Task 7. Configure Survey for the cluster

Task 8. Update the System Information Record in Service Manager
