Add Cluster Nodes

We recommend that you install each cluster node on a separate system. However, if you install all nodes on one system, each node needs a separate jboss_home. This precaution is necessary to avoid contention over the workpoint.log in the jboss_home/bin directory.

To add a cluster node

1. Install JBoss and the JDK on the computer.
2. Install the Identity Manager server one system.
   • Windows: From your installation media, run the following program:

     ca-im-release-win32.exe
     

   • UNIX: From your installation media, run the following program:

     ca-im-release-sol.bin
     

   spN represents the current SP release of CA Identity Manager.

3. Be sure to supply the same values for FIPS, SiteMinder, database, and shared secret details and all other values entered for the master node.
4. Select Cluster Installation.
5. Enter a Peer ID that is different from the other nodes you have created.
6. If the multicast address test failed, perform one of the next two steps for Windows or Solaris.
7. On a Windows system, edit run.bat in the jboss_home\bin directory:
   1. Locate the line that begins as follows:

      ARGS="${ARGS}
      

   2. Add a multicast address preceded by the -u argument as follows:

      ARGS="${ARGS} -g IdmPartition -Djboss.messaging.ServerPeerID=PeerID -u multicast-address"
      

   3. If you are installing on a system that supports IPv6/IPv4, uncomment the IDM_OPTS entry:

      set IDM_OPTS=%IDM_OPTS% -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
      

8. For a Solaris system, edit run.sh in the jboss_home\bin directory:
   1. Locate the line that begins as follows:

      ARGS="${ARGS}
      

   2. Add a multicast address preceded by the -u argument as follows:

      ARGS="${ARGS} -g IdmPartition -Djboss.messaging.ServerPeerID=PeerID -u multicast-address"
      

   3. If you are installing on a system that supports IPv6, modify one of the following properties in the IDM_OPTS entry:
      • For IPv6 only systems, uncomment the following entry:

        	IDM_OPTS="$IDM_OPTS -Djava.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true"
        

      • For IPv6/IPv4 systems, uncomment the following entry:

        	IDM_OPTS="$IDM_OPTS -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true"
        

If any issues occur during installation, inspect the installation logs.
