The following is an example of configuring a Tomcat instance that uses shared storage for all Tomcat instance data.
NOTE: The procedures below assume that configuring all Tomcat instance files on a shared file system "/shared/tomcat_1" directory, that resides on a logical volume "lvol1" from a shared volume group "/dev/vg01":
a.Create a Volume Group "vg01" for a shared storage.
b.Create a Logical Volume "lvol1" on the volume group "vg01".
c.Construct a new file system on the Logical Volume "lvol1".
d.Create a directory named “/shared/tomcat_1” on a local disk. Repeat this step on all nodes configured to run the package.
e.Mount device "/dev/vg01/lvol1" to the "/shared/tomcat_1".
f.Copy all files from "/opt/hpws22/tomcat/conf" to "/shared/tomcat_1/conf"
g.Create a directory "logs" under the "/shared/tomcat_1/".
h.Update the Tomcat configuration files present in "/shared/tomcat_1/conf" directory and change the Tomcat instance configurations to suit your requirement.
2.Using VxVM
To configure a shared file system which is managed by VxVM, create disk group(s) and logical volume(s) on the shared disks and construct a new file system for each logical volume for the Tomcat Web applications (and CATALINA_BASE).
The following is an example of configuring the above steps using VxVM:
a.Create a Disk Group "DG_00" on the shared storage.
b.Create Logical volume "LV_00" on the Disk Group "DG_00".
c.Construct a new file system on the Logical Volume "LV_00".
d.Create a directory "/shared/tomcat_1" on a local disk. Repeat this step on all nodes configured to run the package.
e.Mount device "/dev/vx/dsk/DG_00/LV_00" on "/shared/tomcat_1".
Configure multiple Tomcat instances in the cluster using the same method. See Managing ServiceGuard manual available at
