Expanding the Stand-Alone YMS

For the stand-alone YMS, if you want to strengthen its MCU by making it become 1+N (N can

be 1.2.3.4.5.6...) with one master node and N business nodes, you can expand your YMS.

Before you begin:

If the installation environment cannot access the external network, we recommend that

you use CentOS 7.5 or later. If it can access the external network, the operating system can

be CentOS 7.0 or later.

The network among all of the nodes can be accessed. We recommend that all of the

nodes can access the external network.

YMS is not installed in all the business nodes.

Procedure:

1. Use SecureCRT to log into CentOS via SSH to run the following command:

vi /usr/local/apollo/data/install.conf

2. Enter A to edit the configuration file.

For example, set 10.86.0.33 as the master node, and 10.86.0.55 as the business node.

Installing the Cluster YMS

15

Installing the Cluster YMS

There are two plans for installing cluster YMS:

Plan A: 1+NN can be 1.2.3.4.5.6..., 1 master node and N business nodes. It does not have

the disaster recovery feature, but it has multiple business nodes, with good service capability

and low coupling.

Plan B: 3+NN can be 1.2.3.4.5.6..., 1 master node, 2 sub-master nodes, and N business

nodes. It has disaster recovery feature (multi-machine backup feature).

Note that, there is no 2+N plan, that is 1 master node, 1 sub-master node and N business

nodes. Because the sub-master node cannot be installed successfully, which makes it have the

same effect as the plan A.

Before you begin:

If the installation environment cannot access the external network, we recommend that

you use CentOS 7.5 or later. If it can access the external network, the operational system

can be CentOS 7.0 or later.

The network among all of the nodes can be accessed. We recommend that all of the

nodes can access the external network.

YMS is not installed in all the business nodes.

Procedure:

1. Put the installation package in the path of /usr/local of the master node.

For example, put the installation package in the specific path by using SSH Secure File

Transfer Client.

2. Use SecureCRT to log into CentOS via SSH and run the following command:
