Configuring the Content Manager

The following procedure describes how to configure the Content Manager in a Multi-Manager configuration:

1. Log on to the server that you have designated as the Content Manager in your environment.
2. Open the /app/clarity/dmanager/etc/mesh.conf file in a text editor (it might not have previously existed).
3. Add the following line:
   manager_type=mega_manager
4. Save the /app/clarity/dmanager/etc/mesh.conf file.

5. (Only if you are installing on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.5 with PostgreSQL server 9.6.x) Link the PostgreSQL files from the /usr/pgsql-9.6/bin directory:

   ln -snf /usr/pgsql-9.6/bin/* /usr/bin/

6. (Only if you are installing on RHEL 6 or RHEL 7 with PostgreSQL server 11.x) Link the PostgreSQL files from the /usr/pgsql-11/bin directory:

   ln -snf /usr/pgsql-11/bin/* /usr/bin/

7. (2020 Release 02) (Only if you are installing on RHEL 7 with PostgreSQL server 12.4) Link the PostgreSQL files from the /usr/pgsql-12/bin directory:

   ln -snf /usr/pgsql-12/bin/* /usr/bin/
8. Run the configure_megamesh script:
   /app/clarity/manager_scripts/bin/configure_megamesh

9. When prompted, enter passwords for the Multi-Manager users (megamesh and megamesh_config) in postgres.

   Note

   These are new passwords that will be used again when you add the Satellite Manager or Managers to the mesh.

10. Open the /app/clarity/dmanager/etc/dmanager.conf file in a text editor.
11. Add the following line:
    megamanager=true
12. Save the /app/clarity/dmanager/etc/dmanager.conf file.
13. Restart the dmanager service:
    service dmanager restart
14. Add an unprivileged Multi-Manager user to the OS:
    useradd -m -r megamesh
15. Restart the Multi-Manager service:
    service megamesh restart

Where to go from here

Use the procedure in Adding-Satellite-Managers-to-the-mesh to create the Multi-Manager mesh.
