Creating a master node in a Video Manager cluster

Create a master node on an IBM® Sametime® Video Manager cluster. The master node contains the official data copy for the IBM Sametime Video Manager cluster and serves as a central data store for all nodes in the cluster.

1. From the Sametime Video Manager installed on the IBM WebSphere® Application Server, edit the master.config file in the directory /root/replication_scripts as shown here:

   port=2315 (solid db port )
   userId=admin (solid db user name )
   password=admin (solid db user password)
   register_master=true (default true , leave as it is)
   master_catalog_name=PROXIAS (catalog name leave as is )
   solid_db_driver=solid.jdbc.SolidDriver (solid db driver , leave as is)
   tables_file_path=tables.txt (table file name in /root/replication_scripts, leave as is)

2. On the computer hosting the Sametime Video Manager, stop the WebSphere Application Server.
3. Run the replication_config.sh script by entering this command:

   ./replication_config.sh

   Note: The default location for this script is /root/replication_scripts/.

4. When prompted, enter these values:
   • To enter a Solid DB Replication configuration choice, enter M
   • Enter a unique master node name. For example, enter

     master_node_01

     If you have multiple master nodes, be sure the master node name is unique.

   • Enter the fully qualified host name or IP address of the computer to be configured as a master node.

     For example, enter

     stavvc5.rtp.raleigh.ibm.com or localhost

   The replication_config.sh script completes these tasks:
   • Creates itself as a master node
   • Create these publications:
     • publication_name_real_time
     • publication_name_config
5. On the computer hosting the Sametime Video Manager, start the WebSphere Application Server.
