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. Link the PostgreSQL files from the corresponding directories using the following commands, depending on the RHEL version you are using:

    RHEL version

    Directory

    Command

    If you are installing on RHEL 9 or RHEL 8 with PostgreSQL server 15

    /usr/pgsql-15/bin

    ln -snf /usr/pgsql-15/bin/* /usr/bin/

    If you are installing RHEL 8 or RHEL 7 with PostgreSQL server 11.x

    /usr/pgsql-11/bin

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

    If you are installing on RHEL 8 or RHEL 7 with PostgreSQL server 12.4

    /usr/pgsql-12/bin

    ln -snf /usr/pgsql-12/bin/* /usr/bin/

    If you are installing RHEL 7 with RH-PostgreSQL 12

    /opt/rh/rh-postgresql12/root/usr

    ln -s /opt/rh/rh-postgresql12/root/usr/lib64/libpq.so.rh-postgresql12-5 /usr/lib64/ ln -s /opt/rh/rh-postgresql12/root/usr/lib64/libpq.so.rh-postgresql12-5 /usr/lib64/libpq.so.5 ln -snf /opt/rh/rh-postgresql12/root/usr/bin/* /usr/bin/
  6. Run the configure_megamesh script:
  7. /app/clarity/manager_scripts/bin/configure_megamesh
  8. 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.

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