syslog-ng Store Box 7.0.4 LTS - Installation Guide

Installing two SSB units in HA mode

The following describes how to install SSB with high availability support.

To install SSB with high availability support

  1. For the first SSB unit, complete Installing the SSB hardware.

  2. For the second SSB unit, complete Steps 1-3 of Installing the SSB hardware.

  3. Connect the two units with an Ethernet cable via the Ethernet connectors labeled as 4.

  4. Power on the second unit.

  5. Change the BIOS and IPMI passwords on the second unit. The default password is ADMIN or changeme, depending on your hardware.

  6. Connect to the SSB web interface of the first unit from a client machine and enable high availability mode. Navigate to Basic Settings > High Availability . Click Convert to Cluster, then reload the page in your browser.

  7. Click Reboot Cluster.

  8. Wait until the slave unit synchronizes its disk to the master unit. Depending on the size of the hard disks, this may take several hours. You can increase the speed of the synchronization via the SSB web interface at Basic Settings > High Availability > DRBD sync rate limit.

NOTE:The syslog-ng Store Box (SSB) Appliance 3500 is equipped with a dual-port 10Gbit interface. This interface has SFP+ connectors (not RJ-45) labeled 5 and 6, and can be found right of the label 1 and 2 Ethernet interfaces. If you want faster communication, for example, in case of high data load, you can connect up to two 10G SFP+ transceivers. These transceivers are not shipped with the original package and have to be purchased separately.

NOTE: For the list of compatible SFP+ peripherals for syslog-ng Store Box (SSB) Appliance 3500 outfitted with Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X520-DA2 NIC, refer to the Intel Product Compatibility Tool.
