  • 1.  Single node to High Availablity setup of CA IDM vApp 14.1

    Posted Dec 02, 2019 06:53 AM
    Hi,

    We are planning to migrate our current Ca vApp 14.1 environment to Highly available environment.
    1. Since we already have a live environment, considering it as node 1, can we setup the node 2 in parallel ?
    2. Is there any documentation which can help us on how this can be achieved ?
    3. Will both the nodes point to same DB ?

    Thanks in advance.

    ​Hi Shashank,

    You can refer below documentation if your question is w.r.t disaster recovery:
    https://techdocs.broadcom.com/content/broadcom/techdocs/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/layer7-identity-and-access-management/identity-suite/14-2/virtual-appliance/installing-virtual-appliance/deploying-redundant-system-without-starting-any-services.html

    This method can serve "hot-standby", if you want "hot - hot" you might need another DB.

    If you meant just adding a new IDM server(node) to existing VAPP setup, That can be done:
     • Deploy a new OVA system.
    • From any of the existing cluster members, log in to the Virtual Appliance management console.
    • Add the new server and drag any service you want to deploy on it.
    • You can also remove any server from the list.
    • Select the deploy button.
     
    At this point, the solution adds the new server to the existing cluster and updates its cluster key.

    Thanks,
    Amit

    Hi @Shashank Hule

    Friendly reminder. Identity Suite 14.1 is going EOS on 7/30/2020. Can you please confirm that you have an upgrade plan in place?

    thanks in advance
