Infrastructure at your Service
In a previous blog, I talked about some basis and presented some possible architectures for Alfresco. Now that this introduction has been done, let’s dig into the real blogs about how to setup a HA/Clustering Alfresco environment. In this blog in particular, I will talk about the Repository layer. For the Repository Clustering, there are three prerequisites (and that’s all you need): A valid license which include the Repository Clustering A shared file system which…
Last week, we had the chance to attend to the CloudBees DevOps Playground in London. The event was a presentation and a Hands-On on Jenkins X done by one of the most popular guys from the CloudBees, Gareth Evans. Before taking an interest in Jenkins X, we focused most of our time in the Docker and Kubernetes part. We enhance a lot our skills during the last months on the administration of Kubernetes cluster and…
This blog will be the first of a series on Alfresco HA/Clustering topics. It’s been too long I haven’t posted anything related to Alfresco so I thought about writing a few blogs about my experience with setting up more or less complex HA/Clustering infrastructures. So, let’s start this first part with an introduction to the Alfresco HA/Clustering. If you want to setup a HA/Cluster environment, you will have to first think about where you want…
dbvisit 9 is released since a few months. And one new feature I tested is the Automatic Failover. In this blog I suppose that dbvisit 9 is already installed and that the standby database is already created. Indeed I will not describe nor dbvisit installation neither the standby creation as it is the same as the previous versions. For more info about dbvisit installation and/or dbvisit standby creation please see these steps in my previous…
ActiveMQ is an open source Java Messaging Server (JMS) from the Apache Software Foundation that supports a lot of protocols. In Alfresco 5, ActiveMQ has been introduced as a new, optional, component in the stack. It was, at the beginning, only used for “side” features like Alfresco Analytics or Alfresco Media Management in the early Alfresco 5.0. In Alfresco 6.0, ActiveMQ was still used for Alfresco Media Management but also for the Alfresco Sync Service….
Having a fresh install of RHEL8 on my lab environment, I was curious to take a look at new containerization stuff from Red Hat in the context of SQL Server 2019. Good chances are the future version of SQL Server should be available and supported on with the latest version of Red Hat but for now this blog post is purely experimental. This time I wanted to share with you some thoughts about the new…
To bootstrap a minimal K8S cluster for testing purpose, kubeadm is a very interesting tool. The goal of this blog is not to explain to you the K8S architecture or the components but only the deployment part. using kubeadm. The final architecture of our cluster will be the following: Source:https://elastisys.com/2018/01/25/setting-highly-available-kubernetes-clusters/ Docker Installation The first step is to install Docker on each cluster node: yum install yum-utils device-mapper-persistent-data lvm2 yum-config-manager \ –add-repo \ https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo yum update…
SQL Server 2019 availability group feature will provide secondary to primary replica read/write connection redirection. I wrote about it in a previous blog post here. It consists in redirecting client application connections to the primary replica regardless of the target server specified in the connections string. That’s pretty interesting in some scenarios as read scale-out or specific multi-subnet configurations where creating the traditional AG listener is not an viable option. The new R/W connection redirection…
Recently I received errors messages from OEM13c saying too many cursors were opened in a database: instance_throughput:ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded My database had currently this open_cursors value: SQL> show parameter open_cursors NAME TYPE VALUE ———————————— ———– —————————— open_cursors integer 300 I decided to increase its value to 800: SQL> alter system set open_cursors=800; System altered. But a few minutes later I received again the same message. I decided to have a more precise look…
In a previous blog, I explained how D2 can be installed in silent. In this blog, I will talk about a possible issue that might happen when doing so with the D2+Pack Plugins that aren’t being installed, even if you ask D2 to install them and while there is no message or no errors related to this issue. The first time I had this issue, it was several years ago but I never blogged about…
dbi services at Microsoft Inspire Conference Core Note Satya Nadella – Day 3 The day started with the Core Note from Satya Nadella. Being alone at the conference allowed me to find one of the very last well-located seat to have a nice view of the Event 😉. I never saw a key note from Satya and I must admit that I was impressed. Giving the opportunity to lead a company because someone deserves it…
From time to time you might require to reboot your AWS instances. Maye you applied some patches or for whatever reason. Rebooting an AWS instance can be done in several ways: You can of course do that directly from the AWS console. You can use the AWS command line utilities as well. If you want to schedule a reboot you can either do that using CloudWatch or you can use SSM Maintenance Windows for that….
