Confluence Cluster Installation with Existing Data no longer works.

XMLWordPrintable

      Upgrading existing Confluence data to a clustered environment as per this documentation no longer works, as the following Cluster properties are not added to confluence.cfg.xml after the cluster installation:

      <property name="confluence.cluster">true</property>
    <property name="confluence.cluster.address">233.143.107.205</property>
    <property name="confluence.cluster.interface">eth4</property>
    <property name="confluence.cluster.name">test</property>
    <property name="confluence.cluster.ttl">1</property>

      Workaround

      1. Use the list-interfaces.jar found in CONFSERVER-10979 to identify the network interface for the cluster. Use the identified network interface in confluence.cfg.xml. e.g.: 
        <property name="confluence.cluster.interface">eth4</property>
      2. Navigate to http://path-to-confluence/admin/cluster/hashclustername.jsp , enter the desired cluster name, and hit Generate. Use the resulting cluster address with your cluster name in the following properties in confluence.cfg.xml : 
        <property name="confluence.cluster.name">test</property>
 <property name="confluence.cluster.address">233.143.107.205</property>
      3. Add the following properties along with the properties added earlier to confluence.cfg.xml: 
        <property name="confluence.cluster">true</property>
 <property name="confluence.cluster.ttl">1</property>

        In the end, you should get something like this:

        <property name="confluence.cluster">true</property>
    <property name="confluence.cluster.address">233.143.107.205</property>
    <property name="confluence.cluster.interface">eth4</property>
    <property name="confluence.cluster.name">test</property>
    <property name="confluence.cluster.ttl">1</property>

            drizzuto, based on what we have talked about and taking into account that we won't get time to consolidate the web-apps now, could you document from an admin user perspective what the standalone to cluster upgrade will look like. This will ensure that the PMs (and TAMs, support, etc) can all understand and hopefully agree on what we are proposing.
