Note
Deploying the DSM AMI may take some time to complete. Some of the status checks on the dashboard
may display as failed. This is no cause for concern. The status will change to passed once the deployment
completes.
Configuring HA
To set up an HA cluster in multiple regions, copy the DSM AMI to the regions where you want to locate the other
nodes:
1. Navigate to
Images > AMIs.
2. Select or right-click on the AMI and choose
Copy AMI
. A dialog box displays with the following options:
o
Destination region
o
Name
o
Description
3. Select the region to which to copy the AMI.
The name and descriptions are pre-populated but you can change them as per your requirements.
4. You must manually add an entry for every other node in the HA cluster to
/etc/hosts
.
Note that the hosts file will already contain an entry for the DSM from which you are working. To add the host
information to the
/etc/hosts
file, in the CLI menu, switch to the network submenu and type:
0001:network$ host add <
HOST_NAME
> <
IP_ADDRESS
>
Example
0001:network$ host add dsmHA1.compute.amazonaws.com 192.68.10.1
5. Click
Copy AMI
.
