We are setting up a 2 node API Gateway cluster v9.2. After we get the nodes on the network, do we go straight to the "Configure Replication" section, then "Configuring the first Processing Node"?

    the online docs seem a little confusing on the steps, just wanted to verify.

     

    1. ) install each OVA image for Gateway 9.2

    2. ) configure network settings to get Gateways on the network

    3. ) configure replication between the first 2 Gateway nodes in the cluster: the replication step asks me to run the following script:

     

    Run the following script against the local database on each node of the cluster:

    # /opt/SecureSpan/Appliance/bin/add_slave_user.sh

    but, have not created the database yet on the primary, secondary nodes.

    'add_slave_user.sh' is part of configuring MySQL replication between the first two cluster nodes and does not require the gateway database to already exist. When you configure the first processing node, which includes creating the gateway database, MySQL replication will then replicate the database to the second node.

     

    The workflow can be found here, with links for what needs to be performed during each step of setting up a gateway cluster:

    Thanks - that helped! We were able to get the cluster set up.
