4.7.1 Starting a Web 3-tier System

This section describes the items below concerning the Web 3-tier system start automatic operation process provided by the Web 3-tier system start and stop template.

4.7.1.1 Processing Overview

The Web 3-tier system start template performs processing in the following sequence to start a system:

  1. Starting DB servers

  2. If DB server startup fails, sending error notification mail and then ending startup

  3. Waiting for DB server operation confirmation

  4. Confirming DB server operation

  5. If a DB server is not running or if operation confirmation fails, sending error notification mail and then ending startup

  6. Starting AP servers

  7. If AP server startup fails, sending error notification mail and then ending startup

  8. Waiting for AP server operation confirmation

  9. Confirming AP server operation

  10. If an AP server is not running or if operation confirmation fails, sending error notification mail and then ending startup

  11. Starting Web servers

  12. If Web server startup fails, sending error notification mail and then ending startup

  13. Waiting for Web server operation confirmation

  14. Confirming Web server operation

  15. If a Web server is not running or if operation confirmation fails, sending error notification mail and then ending startup

  16. Confirming Interstage service of Web Server start. If Interstage service is not starting or if Interstage service fails to start, sending error notification mail and then ending startup.

  17. Web servers are incorporated in load balancers. If incorporation fails, sending error notification mail and then ending startup

  18. Sending start completion notification by mail
