How To Set Mongodb To A Different Replica (Backup) Server?: Products

To set up MongoDB to use a replica server for failover: - Install MongoDB on at least 3 servers and configure replication between them using the replSetName parameter in mongodb.conf. - Add the secondary servers to the replicaset using rs.initiate() and rs.add() commands in the mongo shell. - Configure Syracuse to connect to the MongoDB replicaset by specifying all servers in the connectionString with their ports.

How to set MongoDB to a different


replica (backup) server?
Products
Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management (formerly Sage X3)

Description
How to set MongoDB to a different replica (backup) server? The main server went down.

Resolution
Please review the online help.
A couple of the key consideration:
• Recommended to have at least 3 nods for MongoDB clustering
• Recommended to use the same machine for Syracuse and MongoDB
• Recommended to use a different server farm for ElasticSearch as it is memory-hungry
• The MongoDB cluster provides inbuilt automatic failover, you do not have to set this up externally
• Replicasets
◦ Install MongoDB on different physical machines
◦ Open relevent ports for the cluster
◦ Services should use the .conf file
◦ Edit mongodb.conf file: Add a section called replication and a parameter replSetName
replication:
replSetName: “ReplicaName”
• Configure the replicaset:
◦ from the command prompt, launch the mongo tool. Enter the following:
rs.initiate() // initialize replicaset
rs.add(my.second.node.com:port) // add second nodes to replicaset
rs.add(my.third.node.com:port) // add third node to replicaset
• Check replicaset configuration and status:
rs.conf() // returns replicaset configuration
rs.status() // returns replicaset status
The same procedure applies to converting an existing standalone database except that the
commands must be run from the existing initial server
• Syracuse will work as a cluster simply as soon as all web servers share the same MongoDB cluster
◦ Option 1: Each Syracuse server is set up on a the same server as MongoDB which is also set
up in cluster. For each Syracuse server choose Existing MongoDB when installing – this will
use the MongoDB instance that is on the same machine.
◦ Option 2: Set up the Syracuse server and then edit the nodelocal.js file to define the
connection URL with the MongoDB servers in the cluster.
◦ In all cases the following options must be defined in nodelocal.js for each Syracuse server

config: {
collaboration: { connectionString: “host1:port1,host2:port2,…” },
mongodb: {

db: { w: 1 },

mongos: {}
}
}
• Syracuse Load Balancer
◦ Option 1: Internal Load balancer Automatically manages balancing between machines. Does
not provide any DNS switch in case of server failure.
◦ Option 2: External Load Balancer Use the internal load balancer to manage several Node child
processes within a single server, on the local machine and an external load balancer to
manage balancing between machines. DNS switch, machine auto start/stop and all relevant
parameters need to be set in nodelocal.js
config.hosting.localBalancer: true ;
• Clustering ElasticSearch
◦ Modify the configuration to set up parameter cluster.name to the desired value for all
ElasticSearch nodes.
◦ Syracuse will be set up to reference one of the ElasticSearch nodes. There is no automatic
switchover if that node fails.
