Use the same Linux package that you used to install the application server(s) to install
a separate cache server that application servers can use in a cluster.
If your installation uses a single application node, the installation will not enable the
cache services; instead, the installation will use the local cache installed with the
application server. When you have a multi-node configuration, use the following steps to
set up a cache service in the cluster.
To install a cache server:
- Install the RPM as described in the (installation
documentation).
- Because the cache server machine's only function will be operating as a cache
server, only enable the cache service. To do this, type the following as jive user:
Note: If you're logged in as root, you can use su - jive to
become the jive user.
jive enable cache
- Configure the cache server with its address.
- Register and start the caching service by using the following commands. For more on
setting up multiple cache servers and high-availability, see Configuring the Cache Servers for High-Availability
jive set cache.hostnames hostname
jive start
The
cache service writes several log files to $JIVE_HOME/var/logs/. These are:
- cache-service.out -- Cache startup messages, output from the cache processes, showing start flags, restarts,
and general errors.
- cache-gc.log -- Output from garbage collection of the cache process.
- If you haven't already, set up your application cluster to use the cache server
address. You can find this in the Admin Console, when you go to
