The Basics - Getting Started


Standard Installation of MongoDB Ops Manager


Highly Available Ops Manager Architecture

In this scenario, a highly available Ops Manager requires 8 physical servers, not including the HTTP load balancer.

Apart from the HTTP Services, the solution requires 3 MongoDB replica sets of 3 data nodes each;

One each for the Application Database, and the Backup Blockstore Databases #1 & #2.


ClusterControl uses a single MySQL / MariaDB database server, to which its core services connect to store and retrieve data.

Redundancy can be achieved through deploying a database snapshot on a second node, and installing the ClusterControl applications.

With a HTTP proxy in front, requests can be directed to the live node. ClusterControl services such as auto-recovery should be stopped on the second node to avoid complications.

ClusterControl Architecture


Installation


❏ EC2 instances

❏ 4 x “t2.small” CentOS 7.3 EC2 instances: 1 for ClusterControl, 3 for a

MongoDB Replica Set deployment

❏ Obtain and install ClusterControl installation script from severalnines.com

❏ Deploy a 3-node MongoDB Replica Set

❏ Review key functionality

Installation of ClusterControl


Installation of Ops Manager “Test”

❏ EC2 instances

❏ 1 x “t2.large” CentOS 7.3 EC2 instance for Ops Manager “test” install

❏ 3 x “t2.small” CentOS 7.3 EC2 instances for 3-Node MongoDB Replica Set

❏ Obtain and install MongoDB installation RPM

❏ Deploy a 3-node MongoDB Replica Set

❏ Review key functionality
