Converting to a Separated Configuration Database
Converting an existing Spectrum™ Technology Platform installation to a separated configuration database enables you to take advantage of the improved scalability of a separated configuration database. When you convert to a separated configuration database, your existing installation is converted from one where the configuration database is part of the server to one where the configuration database is in a separate cluster.
At a high level, this is the conversion process:
- Stop your existing Spectrum™ Technology Platform server.
- Set up the new configuration database cluster:
- Install the separate configuration database software on a new server.
- Copy your existing configuration database to the new server.
- Configure clustering and start the configuration database cluster.
- Install the server-only cluster and start it up.
Note: This procedure applies both to converting a single server to a separated
configuration database, and converting a cluster to a separated configuration
database.
