Sharing var Data

Create directories on the mount point on one node.

It is assumed that the following filepath is the Orchestrator mount point on the shared storage.

/mnt/shared/orchestrator/

On one node, create the three directories specified below under this mount point.

$ cd /mnt/shared/orchestrator/
$ mkdir -p var/archive/orchestrator
$ mkdir -p var/config/orchestrator
$ mkdir -p var/run/orchestrator

On both nodes, create the following symbolic links.

$ cd /opt/aspera/var/archive
$ mv orchestrator orchestrator.bak
$ ln -s /mnt/shared/orchestrator/var/archive/orchestrator orchestrator

$ cd /opt/aspera/var/run
$ mv orchestrator orchestrator.bak
$ ln -s /mnt/shared/orchestrator/var/run/orchestrator orchestrator

$ cd /opt/aspera/var/config
$ mv orchestrator orchestrator.bak
$ ln -s /mnt/shared/orchestrator/var/config/orchestrator orchestrator

On one node where the shared storage is accessible, copy the shared data.

$ cp -R /opt/aspera/var/archive/orchestrator.bak/* /opt/aspera/var/archive/orchestrator
$ cp -R /opt/aspera/var/config/orchestrator.bak/* /opt/aspera/var/config/orchestrator
$ cp -R /opt/aspera/var/run/orchestrator.bak/* /opt/aspera/var/run/orchestrator

Now go to the other node and verify that you can see the shared files in these directories.

/opt/aspera/var/archive/orchestrator/
/opt/aspera/var/config/orchestrator/
/opt/aspera/var/run/orchestrator/

Note: It may be necessary to perform a failover to make the shared storage visible.
