Enabling Replication
To enable TapeTrack High Availability Replication:
Steps On Remote Server
Install the TapeTrack Framework Server software on your remote machine.
Stop the service on the remote machine.
Delete all database files on the remote machine (all files in the var/db directory EXCEPT the DB_CONFIG file).
Edit the DB_CONFIG file and remove the comments (#'s) starting from the line rep-set-priority 0 to make the machine a Replicant.
Edit the Replicant Server and Master Server host names in the DB_CONFIG file.
- Replace replicant-1.tapetrack.com with the IP address of your Replicant Server (RRR.RRR.RRR.RRR used as Replicant IP example).
- Replace master.tapetrack.com with the IP address of your Master Server (MMM.MMM.MMM.MMM used as Master IP example).
Steps On Master Server
Stop the TapeTrack service on the master TapeTrack server.
Edit the DB_CONFIG file and remove the comments (#'s) starting from the line rep-set-priority 1 to make the machine a master server.
Edit the DB_CONFIG file to define the local and remote server. Edit the replication local (master server) and remote (replicant server) host names in the DB_CONFIG file.
- Replace replicant-1.tapetrack.com with the domain name (or IP address) of your Replicant Server.
- Replace master.tapetrack.com with the domain name (or IP address) of your Master Server.
Confirming Functionality Of Primary And Replicant Servers
Open $DB_Msg.txt file (in the var/db directory) on both the primary and replicant server to ensure that replication is functional.
