Configuration examples for distributed mode installation on Linux

Overview

The following section provides some examples of how to configure each variable in the configuration.conf file for different distributed installation scenarios and which installation command to run on a particular machine:

Scenario A

imaging-services, imaging-viewer, dashboards and analysis-node components each on dedicated machines (machines 1, 2, 3 and 4) and an additional analysis-node component to load balance (machine 5):

Install command:

./cast-imaging-install.sh imaging-services

configuration.conf:

IMAGING_SERVICES_HOSTNAME=machine1.corp.domain.com
IMAGING_VIEWER_HOSTNAME=
IMAGING_NODE_HOSTNAME=
IMAGING_DASHBOARDS_HOSTNAME=
INSTALL_DIR=/opt/cast

Install command:

./cast-imaging-install.sh imaging-viewer

configuration.conf:

IMAGING_SERVICES_HOSTNAME=machine1.corp.domain.com
IMAGING_VIEWER_HOSTNAME=machine2.corp.domain.com
IMAGING_NODE_HOSTNAME=
IMAGING_DASHBOARDS_HOSTNAME=
INSTALL_DIR=/opt/cast

Install command:

./cast-imaging-install.sh dashboards

configuration.conf:

IMAGING_SERVICES_HOSTNAME=machine1.corp.domain.com
IMAGING_VIEWER_HOSTNAME=
IMAGING_NODE_HOSTNAME=

Install command:

./cast-imaging-install.sh analysis-node

configuration.conf:

IMAGING_SERVICES_HOSTNAME=machine1.corp.domain.com
IMAGING_VIEWER_HOSTNAME=
IMAGING_NODE_HOSTNAME=machine4.corp.domain.com
IMAGING_DASHBOARDS_HOSTNAME=
INSTALL_DIR=/opt/cast (note that /opt/cast/shared must be shared with and accessible to all other analysis-node components)

Install command:

./cast-imaging-install.sh analysis-node

configuration.conf:

IMAGING_SERVICES_HOSTNAME=machine1.corp.domain.com
IMAGING_VIEWER_HOSTNAME=
IMAGING_NODE_HOSTNAME=machine5.corp.domain.com
IMAGING_DASHBOARDS_HOSTNAME=
INSTALL_DIR=/opt/cast (note that /opt/cast/shared must be shared with and accessible to all other analysis-node components)

Scenario B

imaging-services, imaging-viewer and dashboards components on machine 1 and two analysis-node components to load balance, each on dedicated machines (machine 2 and machine 3):

Install command:

./cast-imaging-install.sh imaging-services

configuration.conf:

IMAGING_SERVICES_HOSTNAME=machine1.corp.domain.com
IMAGING_VIEWER_HOSTNAME=
IMAGING_NODE_HOSTNAME=
IMAGING_DASHBOARDS_HOSTNAME=
