WSO2 AS worker/manager cluster with WSO2 ELB

This blog describes how to setup WSO2 Application Server worker/manager cluster with WSO2 Elastic Load Balancer.

WSO2 Elastic Load Balancer - 2.1.0
WSO2 Application Server - 5.2.1

1. Deployment Diagram


2. Configure the load balancer


1. Unzip the WSO2 ELB

2. Setting up the load balancing configuration
Edit “<ELB_HOME>/repository/conf/loadbalancer.conf” file


appserver {
       domains   {          
           wso2.as.domain {
               tenant_range    *;
group_mgt_port 4500;
      worker {
          hosts as.wso2.com;
      }   
mgt {
    hosts mgt.as.wso2.com;
}   
           }
       }
}


3. Setting up the cluster configurations
Edit “<ELB_HOME>/repository/conf/axis2/axis2.xml” file as follows


<clustering class="org.wso2.carbon.core.clustering.hazelcast.HazelcastClusteringAgent" enable="true">
<parameter name="membershipScheme">wka</parameter>
<parameter name="domain">wso2.carbon.lb.domain</parameter>
<parameter name="localMemberHost">127.0.0.1</parameter>
<parameter name="localMemberPort">4000</parameter>

4. Configuring the ELB to listen on default ports
Edit “<ELB_HOME>/repository/conf/axis2/axis2.xml” file as follows


<transportReceiver name="http" class="org.apache.synapse.transport.passthru.PassThroughHttpListener">
     <parameter name="port">80</parameter>
</transportReceiver>
<transportReceiver name="https" class="org.apache.synapse.transport.passthru.PassThroughHttpSSLListener">
       <parameter name="port" locked="false">443</parameter>
</transportReceiver>


5. Mapping the host names to the IP
Update the “/etc/hosts” file

<IP-of-worker>    as.wso2.com
<IP-of-manager>    mgt.as.wso2.com


3. Configure the manager node


1. Unzip the WSO2 AS

2. Setting up the cluster configurations
Edit “<AS_HOME>/repository/conf/axis2/axis2.xml” file as follows


<clustering class="org.wso2.carbon.core.clustering.hazelcast.HazelcastClusteringAgent" enable="true">
<parameter name="membershipScheme">wka</parameter>
<parameter name="domain">wso2.as.domain</parameter>
<parameter name="localMemberHost">mgt.as.wso2.com</parameter>
<parameter name="localMemberPort">4100</parameter>

*** Specify this node belongs to the management sub domain
<parameter name="properties">
<property name="backendServerURL" value="https://${hostName}:${httpsPort}/services/"/>
          <property name="mgtConsoleURL" value="https://${hostName}:${httpsPort}/"/>
          <property name="subDomain" value="mgt"/>
</parameter>

*** Specify the well known member
<members>
   <member>
         <hostName>127.0.0.1</hostName>
         <port>4500</port>        
   </member>
</members>

3. Configuring the port offset and host name
Edit “<AS_HOME>/repository/conf/carbon.xml” file as follows

<Offset>1</Offset>
<HostName>as.wso2.com</HostName>
<MgtHostName>mgt.as.wso2.org</MgtHostName>


 4. Configure the HTTP/HTTPS proxy ports to communicate through the load balancer
Edit “<AS_HOME>/repository/conf/tomcat/catalina-server.xml” file as follows


<Connector  protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
               port="9763"
               proxyPort="80"

<Connector  protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
               port="9443"
               proxyPort="443"


4. Configure the worker node


1. Unzip the WSO2 AS

2. Setting up the cluster configurations
Edit “<AS_HOME>/repository/conf/axis2/axis2.xml” file as follows


<clustering class="org.wso2.carbon.core.clustering.hazelcast.HazelcastClusteringAgent" enable="true">
<parameter name="membershipScheme">wka</parameter>
<parameter name="domain">wso2.as.domain</parameter>
<parameter name="localMemberHost">as.wso2.com</parameter>
<parameter name="localMemberPort">4200</parameter>
*** Specify this node belongs to the management sub domain
<parameter name="properties">
<property name="backendServerURL" value="https://${hostName}:${httpsPort}/services/"/>
          <property name="mgtConsoleURL" value="https://${hostName}:${httpsPort}/"/>
          <property name="subDomain" value="worker"/>
</parameter>

*** Specify the well known member
<members>
   <member>
         <hostName>127.0.0.1</hostName>
         <port>4500</port>        
   </member>
</members>

3. Configuring the port offset and host name
Edit “<AS_HOME>/repository/conf/carbon.xml” file as follows

<Offset>2</Offset>
<HostName>as.wso2.com</HostName>

4. Configure the HTTP/HTTPS proxy ports to communicate through the load balancer
Edit “<AS_HOME>/repository/conf/tomcat/catalina-server.xml” file as follows

<Connector  protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
               port="9763"
               proxyPort="80"

<Connector  protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
               port="9443"
               proxyPort="443"


5. Create the worker2 node
Get a copy of worker1 node and change the following

<parameter name="localMemberPort">4300</parameter>
<Offset>3</Offset>


5. Testing the cluster


1. Start the ELB
sudo <ELB_HOME>/bin/wso2server.sh

2. Start the manager node
sudo <AS_HOME>/bin/wso2server.sh

3. Start the worker1 and worker2 nodes
sudo <AS_HOME>/bin/wso2server.sh -DworkerNode=true

4. Check member joined messages in all consoles

5. Access management console https://mgt.as.wso2.com/carbon

6. Test load distribution - create jaggery app to log a message - http://as.wso2.com/sample

Tips on using environment variables in WSO2 Integration Cloud

Environment variables allow you to change an application's internal configuration without changing its source code. Let’s say you want to deploy the same application in development, testing  and production environments. Then database related configs and some other internal configurations may change from one environment to another. If we can define these configurations as an environment variables we can easily set those without changing the source code of that application. When you deploy your application in WSO2 Integration Cloud, it lets you define environment variables via the UI. Whenever you change the values of environment variables, you just need to redeploy the application for the changes to take effect. Predefined environment variables Key Concepts - Environment Variables   provides you some predefined set of environment variables which will be useful when deploying applications in WSO2 Integration Cloud. Sample on how to use environment variables U se
