How To Install Multiple Node Servers

This document explains how to install a second Syracuse node server on an existing installation to add scalability. It involves generating certificates on the primary server, copying files to the secondary, and configuring the secondary to point to the shared MongoDB and Elasticsearch. Key steps include using certgen.bat to create certificates, copying files between servers, and running passphrase.cmd on the secondary to start it.

How to install multiple node servers

This document explains how to install a second node.js server (for scalability
purposes) on an existing installation. The additional server shares the same
MongoDB repository.

This procedure describes a Windows installation, but the information can be used
for any operating system on which the X3 web server is usable.

Example
• You have a running Syracuse environment on X3ServerA with a MongoDB
and an ElasticSearch installed and set.
• You want to install a secondary Syracuse server on X3ServerB.
• On Server X3ServerB, the Syracuse prerequisites are met (except for the
MongoDB and the elastic search installation).

Operation on X3ServerA
• Open a cmd window.
• Go to the Syracuse installation directory, and type the following commands:

cd syracuse
cd certs_tools
certgen.bat

The last command requires you to enter data and answer some questions:

• Select option (1): Create new certificate and private key.

• Enter the server name (in our case X3ServerB).


• Enter the server name for tcp connection (in our case X3ServerB).
• Enter the days of validity (5000 for example).
• Enter the passphrase for the new private key.
• Reenter the passphrase for the new private key.
• Enter the passphrase for the private key of the CA certificate (you need to
know this passphrase).
• Enter the port of the Syracuse server where you want to transfer the
certificate (enter 8124; but you will get an error message because the server
is not installed yet).

The following operation will run:

Generate key pair ...


Generate certificate ...
Write private key output/testserver.key ...
Write certificate output/testserver.crt ...
Write public key output/testserver.pem ...
Transfer data to xxxserver:8124 ...
Cannot connect to xxserver: java.net.UnknownHostException: X3ServerB
Press RETURN to continue
Finished

Now you can return to your cmd window and type:

cd output

First, check that x3serverb.crt, x3serverb.key and x3serverb.pem were generated.


Then:

• Copy the x3serverb.pem in the runtime keys subfolder.


• Copy x3serverb.crt, x3serverb.key AND ca.cacrt on X3ServerB (for
example in c:\sage\cert\x3serverb).

Operation on X3ServerB
• Start the Syracuse server installation.
• On step 4, choose the new installation option.
• On step 5, enter the installation path.
• On Step 7, specify X3ServerA in the Host Name field and the correct port for
MongoDB. An information message will appear : This MongoDB is used and
already has a database with the name ‘syracuse’ ! Do you want to continue?
• Click the 'OK' button to validate.
• On Step 8, specify X3ServerA in the Host Name field and the port for
ElasticSearch.
• On Step 9, specify the path where you copied the certificate files (for example
in c:\sage\cert without x3serverb at the end !).

• IMPORTANT : Clear the Simplified certificates installation for a single server.


• Validate all the steps after and check for errors in the log :

Server name X3SERVERB


Error: Nanny already installed Error: Nanny already installed
at start (C:\Sage\Syracuse\syracuse\bin\node_modules\syracuse-load\lib\balancer.js:512:1
at __streamline$run (C:\Sage\Syracuse\syracuse\bin\node_modules\streamline\lib\fibers-fa

Disregard this error.

• Before executing the next command, ensure that X3ServerB is running the
same version as X3ServerA.

• If the X3ServerA is on version 6 + hotfix, we need to install the hotfix


on X3ServerB.

• Open a cmd window. You must be connected with the same account
that runs the node.js server.

• Go to the Syracuse installation directory, and type the following commands


(enter the passphrase for the new private key you entered when generating
the certificate): cd syracuse passphrase.cmd “passphrase”

Your are now able to connect to your additional server.
