Adding a new Server (Gateway host) to the cluster

When a new Gateway needs to be added to a cluster, the following steps (in addition to the usual set of checks for ensuring a fully functional gateway) are required.

  • Ensure the host has the correct personality (i.e. ceph-unified-gw-echo)

  • In Aquilon the manager hosts must be recompiled, in order to find the new host, and update the managers that the new host is available.

    • As we have a pair of managers, it is preferable to (using keepavlived) remove one manager, compile it, check it restarts services correctly, and (using keepalived) add it back.
      (this may require some quattor commands on the host to force the compilation to be deployed immediately).

    • Then, repeat this step for the second manager.

  • Finally, check the cms.blacklist blocklist files on each manager to ensure that the new Server (aka Gateway) is not explicitly excluded from the cluster here.
