Nonstop Database, HiRDB Version 9 System Operation Guide
Move a HiRDB parallel server configuration front-end server (FES1) and back-end server (BES1). The following figure illustrates the procedure:
Use of the system reconfiguration command (pdchgconf command) eliminates the need to terminate HiRDB normally. Note that HiRDB Advanced High Availability must be installed in order to use this command.
To move the servers, you must re-estimate the memory requirements for unit 2. You might also need to modify operating system parameters of the OS. For details about memory requirements and evaluating operating system parameters, see the HiRDB Version 9 Installation and Design Guide.
Note that you must restart the OS for changes to operating system parameters to take effect, which means that HiRDB must be terminated normally. In this example, we assume no operating system parameters are to be changed.
Prepare the shells from which you will disconnect and connect the shared disk. Execute the shells as a superuser. For safety's sake, do not include in these shells any commands other than commands for disconnecting and connecting the disk.
Use the procedure explained below to create HiRDB system definitions that reflect the change in the server configuration.
pdconfchk -d chgconf |
Check the HiRDB system definitions in the $PDDIR/conf/chgconf directory. If errors are detected, correct the HiRDB system definitions, and then execute the pdconfchk command again.
pdchgconf |
Replace the HiRDB system definitions with the updated HiRDB system definitions. At this time, the shells that you created in step (1) for disconnecting and connecting the disk are executed.
Check if the following operands in the client environment definitions are specified; if the front-end server (FES1) that you moved is specified in these operands, change their values as appropriate:
We recommend that after the command has executed you check whether the execution results are correct. For details on how to check command execution results, see the manual HiRDB Version 9 Command Reference.
