Assume an APP10 MWS horizontal cluster with following setup

2 VMs
1st VM - Main Node
- HttpServer1
- MainServer1
- IntServer1


2nd VM - Secondary Node
- HttpServer2
- MainServer2
- IntServer2

What is the correct way of installing deliveries from below methods?

Method 1:
- Install delivery from main node
- Stop all MWS servers
- Create cluster.zip from cluster.cmd in main node
- Delete secondary node
- Unzip cluster.zip to secondary VM
- Start services in main node
- Execute cluster.cmd in secondary node with "create" option to create servers in secondary node

Method 2:
- Install delivery from main node
- execute existing cluster.cmd in secondary node with "update" option

 

What are the best practices of installing deliveries, since most of the time there will be issues when starting servers?

Are there any APP10 technical documentation on this? If available, please share.

 

 

Hi ​@SebMayurJ ,

  • Method 2 is more efficient for updating existing nodes as it skips creating a new cluster.zip file(Running cluster.cmd/sh on the Slave Node with the update option to synchronize the Slave Node with the Master Node’s configuration)
  • You may need to use Method 1 when adding new nodes or performing major reconfigurations(eg: a CPU patch on the Master Node) with the existing nodes(refer the given doc below).

Common best practices to follow.

  • Ensure clock synchronization across all nodes and backup configurations before proceeding.
  • Ensure the Node Manager is running on both Master and Slave Nodes after updates or deliveries.

You may refer the following documentation as well on this.
