(Optional) Configure NGINX in a single Service Manager Service Portal instance

In a single instance Service Manager Service Portal deployment, you can optionally configure NGINX as a reverse proxy in front of Service Manager Service Portal.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Service Manager Service Portal host.

2. Run the following commands:

   # cd /opt/hp/propel/contrib/propel-distributed.contrib-install-*
   # cp inventory/hosts.example  inventory/hosts.default
   # cp group_vars/propeld.yml.example  group_vars/propeld.yml

3. Update the hosts.default file.

   Run this command:

   # vi inventory/hosts.default

   Add the following content:

   [lb]
   <SMSP host FQDN>
    
   [lb_ip]
   [propel]
   <SMSP host FQDN>
    
   [db_m]
   [db_s]
   [db_vip]
   [db:children]
   db_m
   db_s
    
   [propeld:children]
   lb
   propel
   db
    
   [internet:children]
   lb

   Note Replace <SMSP host FQDN> with the fully qualified domain name of your Service Manager Service Portal host.

4. Configure a web proxy in the propeld.yml file.

   Run the following command:

   # vi group_vars/propeld.yml

   Configure a proxy as follows:

   proxy_env:
     http_proxy: http://<web proxy server FQDN>:<port>
     https_proxy: http://<web proxy server FQDN>:<port>

5. Run the following commands:

   ssh-copy-id root@<SMSP host FQDN>
   ansible propeld -m ping
   ansible-playbook proxy.yml 2>&1 | tee proxy-setup.log
