How to Set up the Cluster Environment

For the optimal performance, set up CA Open Space on a cluster environment. In an ideal cluster environment, multiple server instances with identical configuration span across multiple nodes. All instances in a cluster work together to provide high availability, reliability, and scalability.

You need the following minimum requirements for the cluster environment:

• 2 machines to set up the CA Open Space nodes
• 1 machine to set up Solr 1.4.1, Notification Server, and Shared Repository
• 1 machine for MySQL Database server
• 1 machine for Load Balancer
• Following software:
  • Liferay 6.1 CE GA 1 - Standard Requirement
  • MySQL Community Edition Server 5.5 - Standard Requirement
  • EEM, if you plan to set up the ITSM environment.

The following diagram shows an ideal cluster environment for CA Open Space:
