4.2.3 Adding Sorters and Sort Servers

The objective of adding sort servers is to balance the load of sort processing.

Sort servers can be added while the system is operating.

Refer to Systems that operate with Additional Sort Servers in Chapter 2, Design for more information on server configurations.

Use the following procedure to add sort servers and sorters:

[Figure : Procedure for Adding Sort Servers and Sorters]

1. Install and set up the sorters on the additional sort server.

   

   There is no need to install or set up conductors or directors when installing sort servers.

   

   Refer to Installation and Setup with Additional Sort Servers in Chapter 3, Shunsaku System Installation and Setup of the Installation Guide for more information on installing sorters.

2. Edit the system environment file on the director server where the conductor is located, and distribute it to the additional servers.

   Edit the system environment file by adding the following execution parameter.

   Execution parameter name	Meaning	Explanation
   Sorter	Server information for sorters	Add information for sorters on the sort server being added

   

   

   • Distribute the system environment file to the "\etc\system" folder in the Shunsaku installation folder on all servers.

   

   • Distribute the system environment file to the /etc/opt/FJSVshnsk/etc/system directory on all servers.
3. If host names have been specified in the server information for sorters without using IP addresses, specify the IP addresses and host names of the additional sort servers in the following file on the director server where the conductor is located:

   

   Windows installation folder\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

   

   /etc/hosts

4. Execute the shunsysstart command on the additional sort servers to start the sorters.

   shunsysstart -n Shunsaku system name

   
   
5. Execute the shunsyscfgedit command on the director server where the conductor is located in order to reflect the additional sorter information on the conductor.

   Newly added sorters are enabled after the shunsyscfgedit command has been executed.

   shunsyscfgedit -n Shunsaku system name
