titleOn Windows

Share a folder by using NAS (network-attached storage) or a similar device:

1. Create a shared folder with read/write access in NAS.

2. On all the nodes, open the Program Files\Zephyr\tomcat\webapps\flex\WEB-INF\classes\jdbc.properties file, find the line

ZEPHYR_DATA = C:/Program Files/Zephyr/zephyrdata

and replace the C:/Program Files/Zephyr part with the IP address of the NAS shared folder. For example:

ZEPHYR_DATA= //192.168.11.141/zephyrdata

titleOn Linux

Install the NFS (Network File System) server and client on CentOS 7. To do that:

On the server side:

1. Install the required NFS packages by running the following command:

 yum install nfs-utils

 2. Create the Zephyrdata directory and allow access to it:

chmod -R 777 /homeZephyrdata

Info

If you installed Zephyr as a non-root user, install the NFS server and client as a root user and create the Zephyrdata directory as a non-root user.

3. Start the following services and add them to the Boot Menu:

systemctl enable rpcbind
systemctl enable nfs-server
systemctl enable nfs-lock
systemctl enable nfs-idmap
systemctl start rpcbind
systemctl start nfs-server
systemctl start nfs-lock
systemctl start nfs-idmap

4. Open exports for editing –

sudo gedit /etc/exports

– and type the following:

/home/zephyrdata 192.168.0.101(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_all_squash)
/home/zephyrdata 192.168.0.102(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_all_squash)

Info

 192.168.0.101 and 192.168.102 are the IP addresses of the clients.

5. Start the NFS service by running the following command:

 systemctl restart nfs-server

 6. Add the NFS service override in the CentOS 7.0 firewall-cmd public zone service:

firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=nfs
firewall-cmd –reload

The NFS server is ready to work.

On the client side:

1. Install the required NFS packages by running the following command:

yum install nfs-utils

2. Start the following services and add them to the Boot Menu:

systemctl enable rpcbind
systemctl enable nfs-server
systemctl enable nfs-lock
systemctl enable nfs-idmap
systemctl start rpcbind
systemctl start nfs-server
systemctl start nfs-lock
systemctl start nfs-idmap

3. Mount the NFS share on the client machine by running the command below:

mount -t nfs 192.168.0.100:/home/zephyrdata  /home/node1/zephyrdata

Info

192.168.0.100 is the IP address of the server.

4. Change the ZEPHYR_DATA path to the mounted path for all the nodes in the opt\Zephyr\tomcat\webapps\flex\WEB-INF\classes\jdbc.propeties file.

For example:

ZEPHYR_DATA = /home/node1/zephyrdata

5. You are connected to the NFS share. Now you can crosscheck it by running the following command:

df -kh

Install Zephyr Enterprise on your nodes

Note

When installing Zephyr on your nodes, keep in mind the following:

  • You can install Zephyr on any drive other than drive C.Before installing Zephyr, you need to make sure the ITCC and Dversion databases are not installed on the node.

  • Use the same Zephyr version and build on all the nodes.

  • Zephyr installed on all the nodes must have the same license.

...

1. To install Zephyr Enterprise on the first node:

Expand
titleOn Windows

Follow the installation steps for Windows described in the Installing Zephyr Server section.

Note

During the installation, select the Data Center deployment option:

Expand
titleOn Linux

Follow the installation steps for Linux described in the Install Zephyr section.

Note

During the installation, choose Data Center deployment as the deployment type:

...

4. Once the installation is complete, stop the node.

...

You can use any number of nodes. If you want to add more nodes, repeat steps 3-4.

Info

Write down the IP of each node – you will need them at step 7. 

5. After you install Zephyr Enterprise on all the nodes, you need to modify the following files:

...

9. Copy the HAZELCAST_USERNAME and HAZELCAST_PASSWORD values and paste them to the zephyr/tomcat/webapps/flex/WEB-INF/classes/cluster.properties file on the other nodes.

4. Set up a shared directory
