One CMC Name - for 4 Nodes on BI4 Linux

server administration XI Server Discussion
1

Hi All,

I have 4 Nodes instead of 4 nodes I wanted to have one name so that no need to refer each node separately .

ex:
Node -1 ,Node -2, Node -3 and Node4 I wanted to have a name
@BIPRD instead of xxxxxxx1:6400 or xxxxxxx2:6400 or xxxxxxx3:6400 or xxxxxxx:6400

where to change was it in CMC right click and change the name ? or anywhere else ?
also wanted to change Web url also …

thanks in adavance.

Hi,

If you have 4 nodes, it means you have a cluster. Therefore I think there must already be a cluster name.

Check the cluster name in CMC -> Settings -> Cluster -> Cluster Name

Thanks for your Prompt response.,

Yes we have a cluster names but I wanted to make them as one

ex:

I have 4 nodes/Clusters

Cluster 1 : @xxxxx_1:6400
Clsuter 2 : @xxxxx_2:6400
Clsuter 3 : @xxxxx_3:6400
Clsuter 4 : @xxxxx_4:6400

what I want is @BIPRd as CMC login name if I eneter this as system name while login to CMC or UDT or BI launch pad it will point any of the available node.

Thanks

What you’re trying to do is more than just a name change – you have four independent nodes that you want to combine into one.

In Windows you would accomplish by this deleting the SIAs on nodes 2-4, then recreating them as additional nodes of node 1. I assume the process is similar in UNIX.

Note that this will effectively wipe out all content in nodes 2-4. If anything needs to be kept, you’d need to use Promotion Manager to move it into node 1 prior to recreating the nodes.

As far as a single URL, you would accomplish this using a reverse proxy. Search here on BOB for that term and you should find some existing topics.

Seems to me, the cluster was not set up correctly or?
Or you have 4 clusters, each cluster consisting of a single node.

(** Just who did this kind of setup anyway, I wonder though…)

Now, you want to re-cluster and consolidate all into one cluster, consisting of 4 nodes, then host a Tomcat in front?

Hi all,

all mu clusters are working fine - I just wanted to have a one name where I can use this as CMC name insteady of cluster1 or cluster2

I remebr we can set up as @BOPRD it will pickup any server which is available - actual cluster names no need to changes .

I am not sure wethre its cluster name or CMC name we need to change.

MY requirement is just to give one @CMC name insteady of 4 separate names

Thanks

Hi,

What you have right now are 4 independent BOBJ environments. They are not clusters, they are not nodes. Just 4 independent, single-server environments.

If you want to achieve what you asked about, you need to build a BOBJ cluster with 4 nodes. How to do it is already mentioned above by one of the posters.

There is a fundamental difference between four independent machines with different cluster names and a cluster containing the four machines. For one, all machines in a cluster must connect to the same CMS repository. As it is, your four machines have separate repositories.

You cannot simply rename the nodes to the same cluster name to create a cluster – you need to perform the steps I described above.
