Syncing the repository in a high-availability environment

In a high-availability deployment of TrueSight Presentation Server, the repository is not replicated automatically between the nodes.

Use operating system copy utilities to sync the repository.

On Linux

  1. Log on to the active node.
  2. Ensure that the repository on the active node is the updated one among the two nodes. 

  3. Run the following command:

    rsync -u -v -r -e ssh <repository location>* <standby node credentials and FQDN>:<standby node repository location>

    For example:

    rsync -u -v -r -e ssh /data1/TrueSight/truesightpserver/modules/cma/* root@abc.bmc.com:/data1/TrueSight/truesightpserver/modules/cma

On Windows

  1. Log on to the active node.
  2. Ensure that the repository on the active node is the updated one among the two nodes. 

  3. Run the following command:

    robocopy /e /xj /r:2 /w:5 /v /it /purge /copyall "<repository location>" "<standby node repository location>"

    For example: 

    robocpy /e /xj /r:2 /w:5 /v /it /purge /copyall "C:\Program Files\BMC Software\TrueSightPServer\truesightpserver\modules\cma" "\\xyz.bmc.com\C$\Program Files\BMC Software\TrueSightPServer\truesightpserver\modules\cma"
