Prepare Initial Node for Cluster Configuration

You prepare the initial cluster node by defining system components, permissions, and folders to work in a cluster configuration.

Follow these steps:

Locate and open the prepareCluster.properties file in the temporary folder and set the following parameters:
- CA GovernanceMinder installation directory.
  Example: CA GovernanceMinder home (Windows)
```
rcm.installation.home=C:/Program Files/CA/RCM/Server
```
- JBoss 5.1 root directory.
  Example: JBoss 5.1 root
```
jboss.5.1.home=C:/jboss-5.1.0.GA
```
- CA GovernanceMinder JBoss cluster operating system.
  Set for Windows or Linux
  
  Example: For Linux
```
os.provider=linux
```
- CA GovernanceMinder database. Set for MSSQL or Oracle.
  Example: For MSSQL
```
db.provider=mssql
```
- JBoss messaging database server name.
  Example:
```
db.server.name=your database computer name
```
- JBoss messaging database user login.
  Example:
```
db.login.user=CA_GM_administrator
```
- JBoss messaging database password login.
  Example:
```
db.login.password=your database password
```
- Database port.
  Limits: 1433 MSSQL, port 1521 Oracle.
  
  Example:
```
db.port=1433
```
- Temporary files work folder.
  Example:
```
work.dir=C:/temp/work
```
- Cluster node names. A list of comma-separated host names and IP addresses.
  Example:
```
cluster.nodes=nodeA, nodeB, 3.33.333.255
```
- (Oracle) Oracle server service name.
  Example:
```
oracle.service=ORCL
```
Save and close the prepareCluster.properties file.
On the server where the Portal is installed, open a Command Prompt window and run the following file:
Windows: prepareCluster.bat

Linux: prepareCluster.sh

This file prepares the downloaded JBoss 5.1 files to run in the cluster as Node 1.
Create a database and name it jboss_messaging.
The nodes are prepared for cluster configuration. Repeat Steps 1-4 for preparing additional initial cluster nodes.
