OpenTP1 Version 7 Operation
When you execute the Scale Out scenario, you can create a new OpenTP1 node and add the node to the domain configuration of the OpenTP1 system. This scenario lets you quickly expand the system.
When you execute the Scale Out scenario, a scenario for adding a new OpenTP1 node and a scenario for updating the domain configuration are executed.
The following figure shows the operating model for executing Scale Out when the domain configuration management node is used.
Figure 3-34 Operating model for Scale Out (when the domain configuration management node is used)
To execute Scale Out using the domain configuration management node, carry out the following procedure:
The following figure shows the operating model for executing Scale Out when the domain configuration management node is not used.
Figure 3-35 Operating model for Scale Out (when the domain configuration management node is not used)
In this operating model, nodes manage the domain configuration in the system by configuring one another. When a new OpenTP1 node is created, the domain configuration set at other nodes is updated so that those nodes can recognize the new node.
To execute Scale Out without using the domain configuration management node, carry out the following procedure:
When the Scale Out scenario provided by OpenTP1 is executed, OpenTP1 executes a scenario for adding a new OpenTP1 node and then a scenario for updating the domain configuration.
See the following for details about each scenario.
The following figure shows the sequence of the scenario templates executed by the scenario for adding a new OpenTP1 node.
Figure 3-36 Sequence of scenario templates executed by the scenario for adding a new OpenTP1 node
See the following table for an explanation of each scenario template.
Table 3-35 Scenario templates in the scenario for adding a new OpenTP1 node
No. | Scenario template name | Description |
---|---|---|
1 | OpenTP1_MakeTP1Dir#1 | Creates an OpenTP1 directory. |
2 | OpenTP1_SetConfig#1 | Sets the OpenTP1 environment. |
3 | OpenTP1_ChangeNodeID#2 | Sets a node ID. |
4 | OpenTP1_Deploy#2 | Registers OpenTP1. |
5 | OpenTP1_MakeFileSystem#1 | Creates OpenTP1 file systems. |
6 | OpenTP1_Start#2 | Starts OpenTP1. |
7 | OpenTP1_StartUAP#2 | Starts a UAP. |
The prerequisites for updating the domain configuration are as follows:
The following figure shows the sequence of the scenario templates executed by the scenario for updating the domain configuration.
Figure 3-37 Sequence of scenario templates executed by the scenario for updating the domain configuration
See the following table for an explanation of each scenario template.
Table 3-36 Scenario templates in the scenario for updating the domain configuration
No. | Scenario template name | Description |
---|---|---|
1 | OpenTP1_AddNode | Adds a node to the domain definition file. |
2 | OpenTP1_UpdateDomain | Updates the domain configuration. |
Both of these scenario templates are provided by OpenTP1. For details, see M. Details About Scenario Templates.
By executing Scale Out, you can partially automate the procedure for setting the OpenTP1 environment. This subsection describes the procedure for setting the environment in which Scale Out and the disk copy facility of DPM are used. The superuser must perform steps 1 to 8. Perform steps 1 to 5 on the master computer of the OpenTP1 system (disk copy source), step 6 on the computer where DPM is installed, and steps 7 to 9 on the new OpenTP1 node (disk copy destination) to be added.
