Installing additional runtime cloud clusters on Linux

After installing the initial runtime cloud cluster on your Linux operating system, install additional runtime cloud cluster nodes to give your application more processing power.

Before you begin

Before completing these steps, install the initial runtime cloud cluster.

About this task

You must run these steps on each machine you add to the runtime cloud.

Procedure

1. On the machine on which you want to run the runtime cloud cluster, mount the NFS directory containing the initial runtime cloud cluster installation (<cloud\_installation\_directory\>).

2. Start the runtime cloud cluster manually by running this command:

   <cloud_installation_directory>/bin/atom start

3. For a SysV-style initialization where the runtime cloud cluster starts automatically at Linux startup, do the following:

   1. Create a link in the /etc/init.d scripts directory to the <cloud\_installation\_directory\>/bin/atom script.

   2. Configure the system to start this script by using existing SysV setup tools.

   note

   The specifics of this step might vary depending on your Linux distribution.

4. After starting the new runtime cloud cluster, verify that it joined the runtime cloud by looking in the \<cloud\_installation\_directory/logs/<date\>.container.\<machine\_IP\_address\>.log file for a message like this:

   INFO: Started <machine_IP_address> as CloudletAddress <machine_IP_address>:7800, initial cluster view: CloudletAddress <other_machine_IP_address:7800, CloudletAddress <machine_IP_address>:7800, ...
