To deploy i2 Analyze with HADR for the
Information Store database, SQL Server must be
configured to be part of an availability
group.
To configure SQL Server for high
availability, you add your database servers to a
fail over cluster and then add any database
instances to an Always On availability group.
On Windows, use Windows Server failover
clustering to create a cluster of servers to host
your SQL Server instances. For more information,
see Failover Clustering
in Windows Server.
On Linux, use
Pacemaker to create the server failover
cluster.
If you are deploying SQL Server on
Windows, complete the following
steps.
- Install the Windows Failover Clustering
feature on each of the servers that will be in
your SQL Server Always On Availability Group and
create a failover cluster.
- Create and configure an Always On
availability group.
- Enable Always On availability groups
on each database server.
- Create an Availability Group on the
primary SQL Server instance.
- Create an availability group
listener for the availability
group.
Use a static IP address
for the availability group listener. When you
configure i2 Analyze to connect to a remote
Information Store database, you specify the
hostname and port number of the Availability Group
Listener.
If you are deploying SQL Server on
Linux, complete the following steps.
- Deploy a Pacemaker
cluster.
- Create and configure an Always on
availability group and the Pacemaker
cluster.
For more information, see
Create and
configure an availability group for SQL Server on
Linux.
- Set cluster type to
EXTERNAL
- In Select Databases, do
not select any databases because the Information
Store database does not exist.
- In Specify Replicas,
create an Availability Group Listener. When you
create the availability group listener, use a
static IP address. When you configure i2 Analyze
to connect to a remote Information Store database,
you specify the hostname and port number of the
Availability Group Listener.
- When you create the IP address resource for
the availability group, use the same IP address as
the Availability Group Listener.
Deploy i2 Analyze and the Information
Store database. For more information, see Deploying i2 Analyze with high availability.
