Configuring clusters for participation in the replication of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Event Store streams
involves configuring two or more gateways on destination clusters and, if the clusters are
secure, setting up secure communications between the clusters.
- Plan which replication topology you want to use: basic primary-secondary,
multi-master, or a combination of these. For more information about replication
topologies, see Stream Replication.
- Ensure that you have administrative authority on the clusters that you plan to
use.
- Replicating streams requires the installation of gateways. For more information
about installation requirements, see Service Layout Guidelines for Replication
To configure clusters for replication between streams:
-
In the mapr-clusters.conf file on every node in your source cluster, add an
entry that lists the CLDB nodes that are in the destination cluster.
Note:
This step is required so that the source cluster can communicate
directly with the destination cluster's CLDB nodes. See
mapr-clusters.conf for the format to use for the
entries.
-
Configure gateways on the destination clusters.
-
For secure clusters: Optionally, configure source clusters so that you
can locally run maprcli commands that are executed on the destination cluster.
-
For secure clusters: Add one cross-cluster ticket to each source
cluster for each cluster that it replicates to.
-
Ensure that the user ID of the person who starts the replication process has
the
readAce permission on the volume where the source streams
are located and the writeAce permission on the volumes where
the replica streams are located. For information about how to set
permissions on volumes, see Setting Whole Volume ACEs.
