Adding a satellite

You can add databases to a Master and Satellite DCM cluster by creating new satellites. For example, add a new database in Irvine, California with a CA ID. To add this satellite to a DCM cluster, use the same procedure as the one used to set up the destination database definition for the master and the first satellite.

Before you begin

You must have the dcm_mgr or ccm_admin role available to perform this operation.

Procedure

  1. Start a CLI session.
  2. Initialize the Irvine database to CA.
  3. In the MA database, create a DCM database definition for CA.

    ccm dcm -create -dbid CA -desc description -transfer_mode mode -generate_allowed -automatic_receive -host host

  4. Perform the initial transfer to the CA satellite. Use the same transfer set that was used for the IL database, and generate the transfer package for the new destination.
