Bi4.1 installation on Linux mount point

[Former Member]

Hi

Need some inputs of BI 4.1 installation on Linux.

We want to install bi4.1 on mount point; the idea is bi 4.1 services will restart automatically when the server restarts or crashes.basically we want to consider this as our fail over mechanism as we do not want to do clustering for which we would require two servers sharing the same database.this would be configured for prod.

Is it possible to install bi4.1 on a mount point something similar to shared drive on windows server. Are they any disadvantages ? Please suggest.

Thanks

Hi Denis,

As you mentioned above "this won't work properly, unless that second box has same hostname as original."

So, incase we have two servers with same hostnames in same network,and at one point of time only if one server is running and other server we have stopped,and suppose one sever crashes, will BO connect with other server and automatically restart by itself. Is this possible?

BO will not automatically restart int hat case - but yes this configuration can be made to work.
This is how all real time cloud HA systems work

[denis_konovalov]

so you want to install it somewhere where in case of a crash, another linux box will pick it up and run ?

this won't work properly, unless that second box has same hostname as original.
