1.3. Migrating Data Warehouse to a Separate Machine
1.3. Migrating Data Warehouse to a Separate Machine This section describes how to migrate the Data Warehouse database and service from the Red Hat Virtualization Manager to a separate machine. Hosting the Data Warehouse service on a separate machine reduces the load on each individual machine, and allows each service to avoid potential conflicts caused by sharing CPU and memory resources with other processes. You can migrate the Data Warehouse service and connect it with the existing Data Warehouse database ( ovirt_engine_history ), or you can migrate the Data Warehouse database to the separate machine before migrating the Data Warehouse service. If the Data Warehouse database is hosted on the Manager, migrating the database in addition to the Data Warehouse service further reduces the competition for resources on the Manager machine. You can migrate the database to the same machine onto which you will migrate the Data Warehouse service, or to a machine that is separate from both the Manager machine and the new Data Warehouse service machine. 1.3.1. Migrating the Data Warehouse Database to a Separate Machine Migrate the Data Warehouse database ( ovirt_engine_history ) before you migrate the Data Warehouse service. Use engine-backup to create a database backup and restore it on the new database machine. For more information on engine-backup , run engine-backup --help . To migrate the Data Warehouse service only, see Section 1.3.2, "Migrating the Data Warehouse Service to a Separate Machine" . The new database server must have Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 installed. Enable the required repositories on the new database server. Enabling the Red Hat Virtualization Manager Repositories Register the system with Red Hat Subscription Manager, attach the Red Hat Virtualization Manager subscription, and enable Manager repositories. Procedure Register your system with the Content Delivery Network, entering your Customer Portal user name and password when prompted: Note If you are using an IPv6 network, use an IPv6 transition mechanism to access the Content Delivery Network and subscription manager. Find the Red Hat Virtualization Manager subscription pool and record the pool ID: Use the pool ID to attach the subscription to the system: Note To view currently attached subscriptions: To list all enabled repositories: Configure the repositories: Migrating the Data Warehouse Database to a Separate Machine Create a backup of the Data Warehouse database and configuration files on the Manager: Copy the backup file from the Manager to the new machine: Install engine-backup on the new machine: Install the PostgreSQL server package: Initialize the PostgreSQL database, start the postgresql service, and ensure that this service starts on boot: Restore the Data Warehouse database on the new machine. file_name is the backup file copied from the Manager. The Data Warehouse database is now hosted on a separate machine from that on which the Manager is hosted. After successfully restoring the Data Warehouse database, a prompt instructs you to run the engine-setup command. Before running this command, migrate the Data Warehouse service. 1.3.2. Migrating the Data Warehouse Service to a Separate Machine You can migrate the Data Warehouse service installed and configured on the Red Hat Virtualization Manager to a separate machine. Hosting the Data Warehouse service on a separate machine helps to reduce the load on the Manager machine. Notice that this procedure migrates the Data Warehouse service only. To migrate the Data Warehouse database ( ovirt_engine_history ) prior to migrating the Data Warehouse service, see Section 1.3.1, "Migrating the Data Warehouse Database to a Separate Machine" . Prerequisites You must have installed and configured the Manager and Data Warehouse on the same machine. To set up the new Data Warehouse machine, you must have the following: The password from the Manager's /etc/ovirt-engine/engine.conf.d/10-setup-database.conf file. Allowed access from the Data Warehouse machine to the Manager database machine's TCP port 5432. The username and password for the Data Warehouse database from the Manager's /etc/ovirt-engine-dwh/ovirt-engine-dwhd.conf.d/10-setup-database.conf file. If you migrated the ovirt_engine_history database using Section 1.3.1, "Migrating the Data Warehouse Database to a Separate Machine" , the backup includes these credentials, which you defined during the database setup on that machine. Installing this scenario requires four steps: Setting up the New Data Warehouse Machine Stopping the Data Warehouse service on the Manager machine Configuring the new Data Warehouse machine Disabling the Data Warehouse package on the Manager machine 1.3.2.1. Setting up the New Data Warehouse Machine Enable the Red Hat Virtualization repositories and install the Data Warehouse setup package on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 machine: Enable the required repositories: Register your system with the Content Delivery Network, entering your Customer Portal user name and password when prompted: Find the Red Hat Virtualization Manager subscription pool and record the pool ID: Use the pool ID to attach the subscription to the system: Configure the repositories: Ensure that all packages currently installed are up to date: Install the ovirt-engine-dwh-setup package: 1.3.2.2. Stopping the Data Warehouse Service on the Manager Machine Stop the Data Warehouse service: If the database is hosted on a remote machine, you must manually grant access by editing the postgres.conf file. Edit the /var/opt/rh/rh-postgresql10/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf file and modify the listen_addresses line so that it matches the following: If the line does not exist or has been commented out, add it manually. If the database is hosted on the Manager machine and was configured during a clean setup of the Red Hat Virtualization Manager, access is granted by default. See Section 1.3.1, "Migrating the Data Warehouse Database to a Separate Machine" for more information on how to configure and migrate the Data Warehouse database. Restart the postgresql service: 1.3.2.3. Configuring the New Data Warehouse Machine The order of the options or settings shown in this section may differ depending on your environment. If you are migrating both the ovirt_engine_history database and the Data Warehouse service to the same machine, run the following, otherwise proceed to the step. Run the engine-setup command to begin configuration of Data Warehouse on the machine: Press Enter to configure Data Warehouse: Press Enter to accept the automatically detected host name, or enter an alternative host name and press Enter : Press Enter to automatically configure the firewall, or type No and press Enter to maintain existing settings: If you choose to automatically configure the firewall, and no firewall managers are active, you are prompted to select your chosen firewall manager from a list of supported options. Type the name of the firewall manager and press Enter . This applies even in cases where only one option is listed. Enter the fully qualified domain name and password for the Manager. Press Enter to accept the default values in each other field: Enter the FQDN and password for the Manager database machine. Press Enter to accept the default values in each other field: Confirm your installation settings: The Data Warehouse service is now configured on the remote machine. Proceed to disable the Data Warehouse service on the Manager machine. Note If you want to change the Data Warehouse sampling scale to the recommended scale on a remote server, see Section 1.4, "Changing the Data Warehouse Sampling Scale" . 1.3.2.4. Disabling the Data Warehouse Service on the Manager Machine On the Manager machine, restart the Manager: Run the following command to modify the file /etc/ovirt-engine-setup.conf.d/20-setup-ovirt-post.conf and set the options to False : Disable the Data Warehouse service: Remove the Data Warehouse files: The Data Warehouse service is now hosted on a separate machine from the Manager.
