Adding a Data Expansion Kit to an Existing Cluster
Adding the two new data nodes in the Data Expansion Kit to an existing cluster requires deleting and re-creating the session database for the cluster after all the data nodes are up and running.
Because the process of updating the existing cluster topology and re-creating the session database may result in a longer downtime than desired, there are two approaches you can take to minimize the downtime:
Use a transition server (temporary cluster)—One of the sm nodes in the existing cluster is borrowed from the cluster and converted to a transition server operating a temporary cluster. All traffic is routed to the transition server while the existing cluster is updated to include the new data nodes. After the updated cluster is up and running with the new data nodes, traffic is switched back to it, and the transition server is unconfigured from being a temporary cluster, reconfigured as a sm node, and re-incorporated into the updated cluster. We use this method in this example procedure. See Using a Transition Server When Adding Data Nodes to an Existing Cluster.
Non-transition server—This approach results in longer downtime, the cluster database is destroyed, and entire cluster is updated and reconfigured with the new topology before re-creating the old database. See Non-Transition Server Method—Terminating Connections.
Although both of these methods minimize downtime as much as possible, they both require the cluster to be reinitialized, which necessitates destroying and re-creating the session database. The difference between the two approaches is that using a transition server allows SBR Carrier traffic to be processed while the remaining cluster is updated. This is not possible with the non-transition server. See Non-Transition Server Method—Terminating Connections.
Requirements for Selecting a Transition Server in Your Environment
Requirements for Selecting a Transition Server in Your Environment
Use the following selection criteria to select a temporary server:
The server must meet all the Release 8.5.0 hardware and software requirements listed in Before You Install Software.
If the server is part of an existing cluster:
We recommend using the most powerful (the most RAM and greatest number of processors) available because it will be processing a heavier-than-normal load during the transition.
We recommend using a SBR or management node, rather than a data node both to reduce front end processing on the existing cluster and to maintain data redundancy.
If you intend the server to be the transition server and then reconfigure it to be part of the updated cluster when it is reconfigured, it must be a combined SBR/management node host.
If you use Centralized Configuration Management to replicate SBR Carrier node configurations among a group of like nodes, the transition server cannot take on the role of primary CCM server in the updated cluster because it will not be the first SBR node to be configured.

In general, to use a transition server to add a Data Expansion Kit to an existing cluster:
Create the transition server and switch all traffic to it.
Create the updated cluster definition files that include the two new data nodes.
Install the SBR Carrier software on the host machines for the new data nodes.
See Installing the SBR Carrier Software on the Two New Data Node Host Machines.
Distribute the new cluster definition files to the existing cluster nodes and the new data nodes.
See Distributing the Updated Cluster Definition Files to the Existing Nodes.
Destroy the session database on the existing cluster.
See Destroying the Session Database on the Original Cluster.
Configure each node in the expanded cluster with the updated cluster definition files.
See Configuring the Nodes in the Expanded Cluster with the Updated Cluster Definition Files.
Create the session database and IP pools for the expanded cluster.
See Creating the Session Database and IP Pools on the Expanded Cluster.
Switch the traffic back to the updated, expanded cluster.
Unconfigure the transition server, rebuild it, and reincorporate it into the expanded cluster.
Existing Cluster Configuration for This Example Procedure
Existing Cluster Configuration for This Example Procedure
The following procedure adds one Data Expansion Kit to an existing cluster.
The following designations are used throughout the examples in this section:
sm = Hardware has SBR node and Management node.
s = Hardware has only SBR node.
m = Hardware
has only Management node.
d = Hardware has Data node.
2sm, 2d = Two SBR/Management nodes and 2 Data nodes.
2S, 2SM, 2D = Two SBR nodes and 2 SBR/Management nodes, 2 Data nodes.

The existing cluster includes two full SBR Carrier licenses and a license for the Starter Kit resulting in a configuration that includes two sm nodes and two d nodes. For the purposes of this procedure, the existing two sm nodes are identified as sm1 and sm2 as follows:
id=1 @172.28.84.36 = sm1
id=2 @172.28.84.166 = sm2
In this example, we borrow the sm2 node, and convert it to a transition server operating as a temporary cluster.
Creating the Transition Server
Creating the Transition Server
In this example, we borrow the sm2 node and convert it to a transition server operating as a temporary cluster. To set up the transition server to temporarily take the place of the existing cluster, you need to prepare the server, install software, and configure the database.
The SBRC Temporary Cluster, also termed the transition server, is an exceptional node in the sense that it executes all processes on one machine. The transition server is assigned the node type= smdt. The CreateDB.sh and configuration of pool(s) must be done manually on a transition server, just like in a cluster.
Stopping the Processes on the Target Transition Server
Stopping the Processes on the Target Transition Server
Log in to the server that you are reconfiguring to act as the transition server (in this example sm2) as root.
Navigate to the radius subdirectory of the directory in which the JNPRsbr package was installed (/opt/JNPRsbr by default).
Example: cd /opt/JNPRsbr/radius
Stop the RADIUS and SSR processes on the node.

Configuring and Starting the Transition Server
Configuring and Starting the Transition Server
Now that the software is configured, you need to create the session database and the IP pools and ranges on the transition server. All cluster traffic will ultimately be switched to this single transition server temporarily, while you take the other nodes in the existing cluster down and upgrade and reconfigure them. So, you need to configure the temporary transition server to match the existing cluster configuration.
Navigate to the radius subdirectory of the directory in which the JNPRsbr package was installed (/opt/JNPRsbr by default) and start the SSR process on the transition server.
Example: cd /opt/JNPRsbr/radius
As root, execute:
./sbrd start ssrStatus messages are displayed as the programs start:
Starting ssr management processes Starting ssr auxiliary processes Starting ssr data processes
Verify the process started without error:
As root, execute:
./sbrd statusCreate the session database.
If you need to customize the sessions database to match your existing cluster session database, see Customizing the SSR Database Current Sessions Table. Any customization must be done prior to running the CreateDB.sh script.
Log in as hadm.
Navigate to the hadm user's home directory, /opt/JNPRhadm/ by default.
Execute:
./CreateDB.sh
As hadm, set up IP address pools and ranges using the SSR Administration Scripts. The IP address range should be separate from the in-use pools on the existing and upgraded cluster to avoid overlaps. If the old and transitional pools overlap, then during the transition the two clusters may give the same IP address to two different users. See the section Session State Register Administration in the SBR Carrier Administration and Configuration Guide for more information.
Start the RADIUS process:
As root, execute:
sbrd start radiusStatus messages are displayed as the programs start:
Starting radius server processes RADIUS: Process ID of daemon is 13224 RADIUS: Starting DCF system RADIUS: Configuration checksum: 2D D6 38 1D RADIUS started . . . RADIUS: DCF system started

After the transition server is set up and tested, and a working database created, reconfigure the site’s routers to gradually direct traffic to the transition server instead of to the existing cluster’s SBR servers.
Creating the Updated Cluster Definition Files
Creating the Updated Cluster Definition Files
The next phase of the process is to create the new cluster definition files to include the two new data nodes from the Data Expansion Kit. At this point in the process the existing cluster configuration shows the sm2 node processes are not running and not connected, as indicated by id=2 (not connected, accepting connect from 172.28.84.166):

Installing the SBR Carrier Software on the Two New Data Node Host Machines
Installing the SBR Carrier Software on the Two New Data Node Host Machines
At this point in the process, the updated cluster definition files have been generated and reside on the sm1 node only. Next you need to install the SBR Carrier software on each of the machines that you want to host the two new data nodes. After the SBR Carrier software is installed on these machines, you distribute the updated cluster definition files to all the other nodes in the original cluster.
This procedure describes how to unpack and install the SBR Carrier software on the host machine for the new data nodes.
Log in to the machine as root.
Copy the Steel-Belted Radius Carrier installation files from their download location to the machine. Make sure to copy them to a local or remote hard disk partition that is readable by root.

Repeat this process on the second new data node.
Distributing the Updated Cluster Definition Files to the Existing Nodes
Distributing the Updated Cluster Definition Files to the Existing Nodes
Now that the two machines hosting the new data nodes have the SBR Carrier software installed, you can distribute the updated cluster definition files to the new nodes and the other nodes in the original cluster.
On both the existing nodes and the new data nodes in the original cluster, create a copy of the new cluster definition files. This process does not invoke the updated cluster definition files, but makes them available to the configure script later in the workflow.
To distribute the new cluster definition files:
Log in to each node (existing and new) as hadm.
Change directories to the install directory.
(On new nodes, the entire path may not exist because the <cluster name> portion of the path was not created when you prepared the new machine, so you may need to create it.) See Creating Share Directories.
Execute:
cd /opt/JNPRshare/install/ <cluster_name>For example:
cd /opt/JNPRshare/install/cambridgeUse FTP binary mode to connect to the node host (in this example, sm1) where you created the new cluster definition files.
Execute the get command to transfer the configure. <cluster name> .tar file.
For example:
bin

Running the Configure Script on Each Node from the Original Cluster
Running the Configure Script on Each Node from the Original Cluster
At this point in the process, all nodes in the cluster have the new cluster definition files loaded. However, only the new data nodes have been configured with the new files.
In this step, you run the configure script on each node from the original cluster. This includes the sm1, d1, and d2 nodes. Running this script applies the updated cluster definition files to the nodes.
You do not run the script on the sm2 node, which is still operating as the transition server (temporary cluster).
Log in to the first existing node (in this example, sm1) as root.
Navigate to the radius subdirectory of the directory in which the JNPRsbr package was installed.
Example: cd /opt/JNPRsbr/radius/
Check the status of the node by executing:
./sbrd status
Examine the line for the node you are about to configure, and verify that it is not connected. In this example, the node ID for sm1 indicates: id=1 (not connected, accepting connect from 172.28.84.36), indicating the sm1 node is stopped.

Creating the Session Database and IP Pools on the Expanded Cluster
Creating the Session Database and IP Pools on the Expanded Cluster
At this point in the process, all nodes in the expanded cluster have been configured with the updated cluster definition files. All of these nodes are currently down. You now create the session database and IP pools and ranges for the expanded cluster. To create the new session database, we recommend that you run the clean command on the nodes from the original cluster (in this case, sm1, d1, and d2).
The sm2 node is still operating as the transition server (temporary cluster). Do not disrupt it in any way.
The following procedure describes how to run the clean command on sm1, d1, and d2, start the SSR process and create the session database and IP pools.
Cleaning the Original Nodes from the Cluster
Cleaning the Original Nodes from the Cluster
Perform the following procedure on sm1, d1, and d2 only:
Log in to the first existing node (in this example, sm1) as root.
Navigate to the radius subdirectory of the directory in which the JNPRsbr package was installed.
Example: cd /opt/JNPRsbr/radius
Execute:
./sbrd cleanWARNING: Cleaning the SSR lock on this node may be destructive. Do not use this function unless you are attempting to start the entire cluster for the first time, or for recovery purposes. Clean the SSR lock on this node? (y,n): y Are you sure? (y,n): y Really? (y,n): y Cleaning SSR lock
Repeat this procedure on the d1 and d2 nodes.
Creating the Session Database and IP Pools
Creating the Session Database and IP Pools
In this procedure, you create the session database and IP address pools for the expanded cluster. For details on performing these tasks, see the section on Session State Register Administration in the SBR Carrier Administration and Configuration Guide.
First you start the SSR process. The proper order for starting the SSR process is (sm) nodes, (m) nodes, and (d) nodes. We do not have any (m) nodes in this example, so start the SSR process in the following order: sm1, d1, d2, d3, and d4. Start the SSR process on each node in the expanded cluster one at a time, starting with the sm1 node and then on each data node. For complete details on the proper order of starting and stopping nodes, see When and How to Restart Session State Register Nodes, Hosts, and Clusters.
Starting the SSR Processes on the Nodes in the Expanded Cluster
Log in to the first sm node (in this example, sm1) as root.
Navigate to the radius subdirectory of the directory in which the JNPRsbr package was installed (/opt/JNPRsbr by default).
Example: cd /opt/JNPRsbr/radius
Start the SSR process:
./sbrd start ssr
Before moving on to the next node, verify the SSR process started without error by executing:
./sbrd status
Examine the status and ensure there are no errors.
Repeat this procedure on the d1 and d2 nodes.
When you finish starting the SSR process on sm1, d1, d2, d3, and d4, the cluster configuration is as follows:
Cluster Configuration --------------------- [ndbd(NDB)] 4 node(s) id=10 @172.28.84.163 (mysql-5.7.18 ndb-7.5.6, Nodegroup: 0, Master) id=11 @172.28.84.113 (mysql-5.7.18 ndb-7.5.6, Nodegroup: 0) id=12 @172.28.84.178 (mysql-5.7.18 ndb-7.5.6, Nodegroup: 1) id=13 @172.28.84.104 (mysql-5.7.18 ndb-7.5.6, Nodegroup: 1)
[ndb_mgmd(MGM)] 2 node(s) id=1 @172.28.84.36 (mysql-5.7.18 ndb-7.5.6) id=2 (not connected, accepting connect from 172.28.84.166)
[mysqld(API)] 4 node(s) id=6 @172.28.84.36 (mysql-5.7.18 ndb-7.5.6) id=7 (not connected, accepting connect from 172.28.84.166) id=58 (not connected, accepting connect from 172.28.84.166) id=59 (not connected, accepting connect from 172.28.84.36)
The lines for node IDs 10, 11, 12, and 13 indicate the SSR processes started without error on the four data nodes.
The line id=1 @172.28.84.36 (mysql-5.7.18 ndb-7.5.6) indicates the SSR process started properly on the sm1 node.
Notice that the sm2 node still says it is not connected as indicated by the line: id=2 (not connected, accepting connect from 172.28.84.166). The sm2 node is still operating as the transition server.
Creating the Session Database and IP Address Pools
Now create the session database and IP pools and ranges on the sm1 node.
Log back in to the sm1 node as hadm.
Navigate to the hadm user's home directory, /opt/JNPRhadm by default.
Create the session database on the sm1 node.
If you need to customize the sessions database, see Customizing the SSR Database Current Sessions Table. Any customization must be done before running the CreateDB.sh script.
Log in as hadm.
Navigate to the hadm user's home directory, /opt/JNPRhadm/ by default.
Execute:
./CreateDB.sh
As hadm, add the IP address pools and ranges.
For details on performing these tasks, see the section on Session State Register Administration in the SBR Carrier Administration and Configuration Guide.
Starting the RADIUS Process
Start the RADIUS process on the sm1 node.
Execute:
./sbrd start radius
./sbrd status
When you finish starting the SSR process on sm1, d1, d2, d3, and d4, the cluster configuration is as follows:
Cluster Configuration --------------------- [ndbd(NDB)] 4 node(s) id=10 @172.28.84.163 (mysql-5.7.18 ndb-7.5.6, Nodegroup: 0, Master) id=11 @172.28.84.113 (mysql-5.7.18 ndb-7.5.6, Nodegroup: 0) id=12 @172.28.84.178 (mysql-5.7.18 ndb-7.5.6, Nodegroup: 1) id=13 @172.28.84.104 (mysql-5.7.18 ndb-7.5.6, Nodegroup: 1)
[ndb_mgmd(MGM)] 2 node(s) id=1 @172.28.84.36 (mysql-5.7.18 ndb-7.5.6) id=2 (not connected, accepting connect from 172.28.84.166)
[mysqld(API)] 4 node(s) id=6 @172.28.84.36 (mysql-5.7.18 ndb-7.5.6) id=7 (not connected, accepting connect from 172.28.84.166) id=58 (not connected, accepting connect from 172.28.84.166) id=59 @172.28.84.36 (mysql-5.7.18 ndb-7.5.6)
The RADIUS process for the sm1 node has started properly as indicated by the line:
id=59 @172.28.84.36 (mysql-5.7.18 ndb-7.5.6)
Notice that the sm2 node is the only node that still is not connected, as indicated by the lines:
id=2 (not connected, accepting connect from 172.28.84.166) id=7 (not connected, accepting connect from 172.28.84.166) id=58 (not connected, accepting connect from 172.28.84.166)
Now that the expanded cluster nodes sm1, d1, d2, d3, and d4 are all started and running without error you can switch traffic back to the expanded cluster.
Removing the Transition Server from Service
Removing the Transition Server from Service
After you bring the expanded cluster online, configure it, and test it, begin transferring live traffic to it and away from the transition server. When all traffic has been shifted to the new expanded cluster and the number of on-going sessions managed by the transition server has reached a suitably low level, take the transition server offline. Some sessions are terminated, but reconnect through the new cluster.
Unconfiguring and Rebuilding the Transition Server
Unconfiguring and Rebuilding the Transition Server
To free the licenses used by the transition server (in this case, sm2), and clean up installed software, uninstall the SBR Carrier software. See Uninstalling Steel-Belted Radius Carrier Software.

Examine each line and ensure the cluster is running with no errors.
Non-Transition Server Method—Terminating Connections
Non-Transition Server Method—Terminating Connections
If you can tolerate some downtime while the existing data nodes are stopped, the new configuration imposed, and all nodes restarted, that is the quickest and easiest method to incorporate the new data nodes. However, sessions are disconnected, and reconnection is not possible until all nodes come back online.
This procedure stops the entire cluster. You will not be able to process any requests from users.
To estimate how long this process takes, note the amount of time it takes to reconfigure one or two nodes.
Assuming the same basic configuration as in the previous examples of (0s), (2sm), 0(m), 2(d), the following procedure describes the high-level tasks involved in this method. Reference the previous procedures in this chapter for information about performing each task.
Stop the RADIUS processes on the sm1 and sm2 nodes.
Call DestroyDB.sh as user hadm on either the sm1 or sm2 node.
Stop the cluster on sm1.
Stop the SSR process on sm2.
Verify that the SSR processes are stopped on the two existing data nodes.
Install the SBR Carrier software on the two new data nodes in the expansion kit.
Run the configure script on sm1 using option 2 to update the cluster definition files.
Distribute the updated cluster definition files to all nodes including the two new data nodes.
Run the clean command on all four of the existing nodes (sm1, sm2, d1, and d2).
Start the SSR process on each node one at a time.
Run CreateDB.sh on the sm1 node.
After CreateDB.sh has finished running on sm1, repeat it on sm2 as user hadm.
Add the IP address pools and ranges using the administrative scripts.
Start the RADIUS processes on sm1 and sm2 one at a time.
