To deploy the SMI Cluster Manager in HA mode, use the following configuration:

  1. Login to the Inception Server CLI and enter the configuration mode

    • Add the SMI Cluster Manager HA configuration to deploy the SMI Cluster Manager in HA mode.

      Note
      • For deploying the SMI Cluster Manager on Bare Metal, add the SMI Cluster Manager HA Configuration defined for Bare Metal environments. A sample SMI Cluster Manager HA Configuration for Bare Metal is provided here.

      • For deploying the SMI Cluster Manager on VMware, add the SMI Cluster Manager HA Configuration defined for VMware environments. A sample SMI Cluster Manager HA Configuration for Bare Metal is provided here.

      • For deploying the SMI Cluster Manager on OpenStack, add the SMI Cluster Manager HA Configuration defined for OpenStack environments. A sample SMI Cluster Manager HA Configuration for Bare Metal is provided here.

  2. Commit and exit the cluster configuration.

  3. Run the cluster synchronization

    clusters cluster_name actions sync run debug true
     
  4. Monitor the progress of the synchronization

    monitor sync-logs cluster_name 
  5. Connect to the SMI Cluster Manager CLI after the synchronization completes

    ssh admin@cli.smi-cluster-deployer.<ipv4address>.<domain_name> -p <port_number> 

NOTES:

  • clusters cluster_name – Specifies the information about the nodes to be deployed. cluster_name is the name of the cluster.

  • actions – Specifies the actions performed on the cluster.

  • sync run – Triggers the cluster synchronization.

  • monitor sync-logs cluster_name - Monitors the cluster synchronization.
