Creating a Couchbase 2.0 on RHEL 5.4 service offering
This topic describes the tasks that you must perform in BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management to create the service offering that the end user could then use to provision the application infrastructure (for example, an OS and an application package). It includes the following topics:
To create the service and the service offering
In the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management Administrator console, you must add a service and a service offering.
For Couchbase service blueprint, you can create a service and service offering based on the available deployment model. The Couchbase service blueprint supports the following service deployment models:
Deployment model | Description |
|---|---|
Setup Cluster deployment model | In the setup cluster deployment model, the Couchbase cluster is created on single server instance. |
Add Node To Cluster deployment model | In the add node to cluster deployment model, a Couchbase node is created which is then associated to the Couchbase cluster. |

To make the provisioning request
To make provisioning request for Couchbase cluster or node:
- Access Workspaces > Service Instances to display the Service Instances workspace, and click the New Service Request icon to display the New Service Request dialog box.
In the New Service Request dialog box, click the server provisioning service you want to request to display the Submit Request dialog box.To complete the Service Request for Couchbase cluster, specify the following Parameters:
Parameter
Description
Name Of Bucket
Buckets are used to compartmentalize data within a Couchbase Server. This parameter represents the name of the bucket.
Password Of Cluster
Administrator password for accessing the cluster.
Confirm
Administrator password for accessing the cluster.
RAM Size Bucket
The logical size of a bucket.
RAM Size Of Cluster
RAM size quota for a specific cluster.
Replica Count Of Bucket
This represents the bucket replication count.
Type Of Bucket
This represents the bucket type.
Username Of Cluster
Administrator username for accessing the cluster.
To complete the Service Request for Couchbase node, specify the following Parameters:
Parameter
Description
IP Address of Cluster
IP address for Couchbase server.
Password of Cluster
Password for Couchbase server.
Confirm
Password for Couchbase server.
Username of Cluster
Username for Couchbase server.
- Click Next.
- Enter the data in the required fields to complete the request for an instance of the service request. You can click Next to review the details.
- Click Submit. The request is added to the Pending Activity list in the Service Instances window.
The request status is displayed in the Pending Activity list of the Service Instances window. You can double-click on the service request to see its detailed information.
For more detailed procedures, see Requesting cloud services.
To validate the provisioned components
After provisioning the service blueprint, you can validate the Couchbase components setup in your environment.
Component name | How to verify | Results |
|---|---|---|
Verify Selinux status | To verify Selinux status, run the following command: sestatus | It displays the Selinux status which is disabled. |
Couchbase installation | To verify the Couchbase installation, run the following command: rpm -qa | grep -i couchbase | It displays the following output: couchbase-server-2.0.1-170.x86_64 |
Couchbase server status | To verify the Couchbase server status, run the following command: service couchbase-server status | It displays the following output: couchbase-server is running |
Start Couchbase server | To start the Couchbase server, run the following command: service couchbase-server start | Starts the Couchbase service. |
Couchbase server port | To verify the Couchbase listening ports, run the following command: netstat -atpn | grep -i beam | It displays Couchbase listening ports. |
Check Couchbase server list | To check the Couchbase server list, run the following command: server-list | It displays the list of all Couchbase servers present in a cluster. |
Check Couchbase server information | To check Couchbase server information, run the following command: server-info | It displays the Couchbase server details. |
Check bucket list | To check bucket list in a cluster, run the following command: bucket-list | It displays all the buckets of a cluster. |
Where to go next
Once you have created the service offering, the cloud end user can request a service offering from the My Cloud Services Console.
