The following sections give you information and instructions on how to cluster the integration profile of WSO2 EI with a third-party load balancer.

...

Database Name	Description
WSO2_USER_DB	JDBC user store and authorization manager
`REGISTRY_DB`	Shared database for config and governance registry mounts in the product's nodes
`REGISTRY_LOCAL1`	Local registry space in the manager nodeNode 1
`REGISTRY_LOCAL2`	Local registry space in the worker nodeNode 2

Following the steps below to create the databases necessary.

...

Configure the datasourcestopoint to the REGISTRY_LOCAL1, WSO2_REGISTRY_DB, and WSO2_USER_DB databases as follows in the <EI_HOME>/conf/datasources/master-datasources.xml file.

Tip
Replace the username, password, and database URL of your MySQL environment accordingly.

Add the following configuration in the <EI_HOME>/conf/user-mgt.xml file to configure the user stores.

Tip
Enter the datasource information for the user store that you configured in the `<EI_HOME>/conf/`datasources`/master-`datasources`.`xml file. You can change the admin username and password as well. However, you should do this before starting the server.

Code Block

language	xml

<Configuration>
  <AddAdmin>true</AddAdmin>
  <AdminRole>admin</AdminRole>
  <AdminUser>
    <UserName>admin</UserName>
    <Password>admin</Password>
  </AdminUser>
  <EveryOneRoleName>everyone</EveryOneRoleName>
  <Property name="dataSource">jdbc/WSO2UMDB</Property>
</Configuration>

Update the dataSource property in all nodes in the <EI_HOME>/conf/user-mgt.xml file as shown below to configure the datasource: <Property name="dataSource">jdbc/WSO2UMDB</Property>

Edit the <EI_HOME>/conf/axis2/axis2.xml file as follows to set up the cluster configurations.

Enable clustering for this node as follows: <clustering class="org.wso2.carbon.core.clustering.hazelcast.HazelcastClusteringAgent" enable="true">
Set the membership scheme to "wka" to enable the well-known address registration method. (This node sends cluster initiation messages to the WKA members):
<parameter name="membershipScheme">wka</parameter>
Specify the name of the cluster this node will join as folows: <parameter name="domain">wso2.ei.domain</parameter>
Specify the host to communicate cluster messages as follows: <parameter name="localMemberHost">xxx.xxx.xxx.xx2</parameter>

Specify the port to communicate cluster messages as follows: <parameter name="localMemberPort">4100</parameter>

Info
This port number is not affected by the port offset value specified in the `<EI_HOME>/conf/carbon.`xml file. If this port number is already assigned to another server, the clustering framework automatically increments this port number. However, if there are two servers running on the same machine, ensure that a unique port is set for each server.

Specify the well-known members as follows: (The port value for the WKA node must be the same value as it's localMemberPort (in this case it is 4100).

Info
You can also use IP address ranges for the hostname (e.g., 192.168.1.2-10). However, you can define a range only for the last portion of the IP address. Smaller the range, the faster the time it takes to discover members since each node has to scan a lesser number of potential members.

language	xml

<members>
	<member>
		<hostName>xxx.xxx.xxx.xx3</hostName>
		<port>4100</port> 
	</member>

Uncomment and edit the WSDLEPRPrefix element under org.apache.synapse.transport.passthru.PassThroughHttpListener and
org.apache.synapse.transport.passthru.PassThroughHttpSSLListener in the transportReceiver section.

Specify the port offset value in the <EI_HOME>/conf/carbon.xml file.

Warning
This step is optional and only required if all server instances are running on the same machine. This is not recommended for production environments. Change all ports used in your configurations based on the offset value if you are setting a port offset.

When you run multiple products/clusters or multiple instances of the same product on the same server or virtual machines (VMs), change their default ports with an offset value to avoid port conflicts. An offset defines the number by which all ports in the runtime (e.g., HTTP(S) ports) are increased. For example, if the default HTTP port is 9763 and the offset is 1, the effective HTTP port will change to 9764. For each additional product instance, set the port offset to a unique value. The offset of the default ports is zero.

The port value will automatically increase as shown in the Port Value column in the following table, allowing all five WSO2 product instances or servers to run on the same machine.

WSO2 product instance	Port Offset	Port Value
WSO2 server 1	0	9443
WSO2 server 2	1	9444
WSO2 server 3	2	9445
WSO2 server 4	3	9446
WSO2 server 5	4	9447

language	xml

<Ports>
	...
	<Offset>0</Offset>
	...
</Ports>

Edit the <EI_HOME>/conf/carbon.xml file as follows to configure the hostname:<HostName>esb.wso2.com</HostName>
Add the host entries to your DNS, or “/etc/hosts” file (in Linux) in all the nodes of the cluster to map the hostnames to the IP addresses. For an example, you can map the IP address of the database server. In this example, MySQL is used as the database server, so <MYSQL-DB-SERVER-IP> is the actual IP address of the database server and the host entry is as follows: <IP-of-MYSQL-DB-SERVER> carbondb.mysql-wso2.com

Edit the <EI_HOME>/conf/tomcat/catalina-server.xml file as follows to configure the HTTP/HTTPS proxy ports to communicate through the load balancer. This allows accessing the Management Console only through the load balancer.

Code Block

language	xml

<Connector protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
	port="9763"
	proxyPort="80"
	...
	/>
<Connector protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
	port="9443"
	proxyPort="443"
	...
	/>

The Connector protocol tag sets the protocol to handle incoming traffic. The default value is HTTP/1.1, which uses an auto-switching mechanism to select either a blocking Java-based connector or an APR/native connector. If the PATH (Windows) or LD_LIBRARY_PATH (on most UNIX systems) environment variables contain the Tomcat native library, the APR/native connector will be used. If the native library cannot be found, the blocking Java-based connector will be used. Note that the APR/native connector has different settings from the Java connectors for HTTPS.

The non-blocking Java connector used is an explicit protocol that does not rely on the auto-switching mechanism described above. The following is the value used:
org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol

The TCP port number is the value that this Connector will use to create a server socket and await incoming connections. Your operating system will allow only one server application to listen to a particular port number on a particular IP address. If the special value of 0 (zero) is used, Tomcat will select a free port at random to use for this connector. This is typically only useful in embedded and testing applications.
