This chapter describes the requirements for creating a domain, how to create a domain using the tools provided by JEUS such as WebAdmin and jeusadmin, and the directory structure of a domain.
A domain directory is created when a domain is created. Scripts and basic configuration files that start and stop servers in the domain are created in this directory. The parent directory for each domain is DOMAIN_HOME and its path is:
JEUS_HOME/domains/<domain_name>
When a domain is created, it only contains DAS. Managed serves can be added through WebAdmin or jeusadmin. After an MS is added and started, it receives the domain information from DAS. In other words, DAS creates the domain directory when the domain is created, and managed servers create the domain directory through DAS when they start.
A domain can be created using Ant task or jeusadmin. The following are the requirements.
-
Network configuration
JEUS requires an IP address and port number because it shares domain server status using multicast. If servers exist outside of the local network and are not able to share information via multicast, TCP is used instead. This is called virtual multicast in JEUS, and it can be configured when a domain is created.
Since server information is shared using the default listener IP address and port number on the server, all servers in the domain that exist outside of the local network must specify a listener IP address and port number. They must also set the option to disable multicast.
-
Default DAS configuration
Each domain must contain a DAS. A default configuration is used and can be further configured by the user. Dynamic configuration items can be changed at any time, but static items must be configured when the domain is created.
Examples of static configuration items include the default listener IP address, port number, and JVM configuration.
This section describes how to create the default domain. When the default domain is created, virtual multicast is disabled.
The following are the command attributes for Ant task and jeusadmin.
| Attribute | Default Value |
|---|---|
| DAS name | adminServer |
| Listen IP address | 0.0.0.0 / 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 |
| Listen Port | 9736 |
| user name | administrator |
| Multicast IP address | 230.30.1.1 / FF01:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 |
| Multicast Port | 3030 |

Creating a domain with Ant
The default configuration values when using Ant are defined in JEUS_HOME/setup/domain-config-template.properties. The following is an example of configuring the attributes. The default value is used if an attribute is not configured.
JEUS_HOME/setup/ant create-domain -Ddomain=jeus_domain -Dservername=adminServer -Djeus.address=0.0.0.0 -Djeus.port=9736 -Dheartbeataddress=230.30.1.1 -Dheartbeatport=3030 -
Creating a domain with jeusadmin
The default configuration values when using jeusadmin are defined in JEUS_HOME/setup/domain-config-template.properties. If jeus.password is set in domain-config-template.properties, use the configured value. Otherwise, enter the password as in the following example.
offline>create-domain -domain jeus_domain -das adminServer -ha 230.30.1.1 -hp 3030 Enter the password for [administrator]: ********** Confirm the password: ********** Do you want to encrypt the password?

This section describes how to check if the environment supports the IP Multicast functionality, and how to create a domain that uses the Virtual Multicast functionality when the environment does not support the IP Multicast functionality or the domain goes beyond the subnet range.
To check if the environment supports IP Multicast, execute the two mcastSender and mcastReceiver test scripts. The two scripts are in JEUS_HOME/bin. Execute each one on a different machine as in the following.
JEUS_HOME/bin$ ./mcastReceiver -addr 224.0.0.1 -port 3030 Socket == 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 : 3030, bound to /fe80:0:0:0:2a37:37ff:fe1e:fc4%5 Socket == 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 : 3030, bound to /192.168.0.26 Socket == 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 : 3030, bound to /fe80:0:0:0:3e07:54ff:fe6f:95e%4 Socket == 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 : 3030, bound to /61.77.153.207 Socket == 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 : 3030, bound to /fe80:0:0:0:0:0:0:1%1 Socket == 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 : 3030, bound to /0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 Socket == 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 : 3030, bound to /127.0.0.1

This test attempts to send and receive IP Multicast packets through all network interfaces. The addresses at the top are for all network interfaces.
At the prompt that appears on the Sender side, enter a message that is sent to the Receiver. If the Receiver cannot receive the message, it means that IP Multicast is not working properly. In such a case, set the following Virtual Multicast configuration. The following is the execution of a test message.

This section describes how to change the composition of a domain by adding servers and clusters to the domain created in "2.1. Creating a Domain".
DAS must be started to add servers and clusters which changes the configuration. Refer to "Chapter 3. Configuring a Domain" for detailed information about changing the configuration.
DOMAIN_HOME/bin/startDomainAdminServer -u administrator -p 1111111
Use the following order when adding a cluster and servers in WebAdmin:
-
Add a node
-
Change to configuration mode
-
Add MSs
-
Add the cluster
Adding a Node
A node is an installed instance of JEUS. Configure the node in order to start a server on the node through DAS. For UNIX-based OSs, SSH nodes are supported. The host address, JEUS installation directory, SSH user name, SSH file route, and SSH port number can be specified. A node that is created when JEUS is installed can be configured and used. Refer to "JEUS Node Manager Guide" for detailed information about node management.
The following are the steps for adding a new node.
-
Click [Node Configuration] from the right menu in WebAdmin.
-
Click [Add] on the Nodes screen.
-
On the SSH Node configuration screen, configure the node and click [OK].
-
When the changes are applied, the results including the node name, type, control function availability, JEUS version, etc. are displayed on the screen.
Changing to Configuration Mode
To add or change a server or cluster, change to configuration mode. Click [Lock & Edit] from the left menu in WebAdmin.
Note
Refer to JEUS WebAdmin Guide. "2.3.2. Menu" for detailed information about WebAdmin's configuration mode. Changes to a node's configuration can affect other domains, but changes to a server or cluster configuration only affect one domain.
Adding a Managed Server(MS)
Managed Server configuration cannot be changed dynamically. Similar to the default configuration of DAS, when the domain described in "2.1. Creating a Domain" is created, default configuration set when adding an MS is not applied dynamically.
Choose a unique IP address and port number that do not conflict with other servers, and configure the JVM options.
If a domain does not exist on the local network, specify an IP address to use instead of the default value of 0:0:0:0. Since server names in a domain must be unique, verify that there are no conflicts.
Since the servers in the example are in the same cluster, settings that exist at the cluster level do not need to be configured separately for each server.
The following are the steps for adding an MS in WebAdmin.
-
Click [Servers] from the left menu in WebAdmin to go to the Servers screen.
-
Click [Lock & Edit] to change to the configuration mode.
-
Click [Add] on the Servers screen, and then click [Basic] > [Basic Info]. Configure the server information and click [OK].
The configuration items in'Data Sources' include the statement "This item must be specified in the cluster if the server belongs to a cluster. Cluster settings override the server settings." These items must have the same value for each server in the cluster. Therefore, if a server is part of a cluster, the items should be configured at the cluster level.
The following shows the advanced options of the Server configuration screen.
When changing the configuration of a server in the cluster, the items that need to be applied commonly across the cluster include the statement, "This item must be specified in the cluster if the server belongs to the cluster. Cluster settings overrides the server settings."
-
To add a listener, click [Resource] > [Listener]. Click [Add] from the Listener section of the Listeners screen.
-
Configure the items and click [OK].
-
After the listener is added, set the 'Base' field to the listener name that was added in step 5, and click [OK]. This sets the default listener.
-
Click [Apply Changes] to apply the changes.
-
Once the server is created, it appears in the server list.
Adding a Cluster
When adding a cluster, load balancing, failover, and the servers in the cluster must all be configured. Refer to "5.5. Configuring a Cluster" for detailed information about configuring a cluster.
The following are the steps for adding a cluster in WebAdmin.
-
Click [Clusters] from the left menu in WebAdmin to go to the following screen.
-
Click [Lock & Edit] to change to the configuration mode.
-
Click [Add] from the Clusters screen, and go to the [Basic] tab. On the Cluster screen, select servers to add to the cluster and click [OK]. Refer to "5.5. Configuring a Cluster" for detailed information about configuring a cluster.
-
The result message is displayed.
-
Click [Apply Changes] to apply the changes.
-
When the cluster is added, the results are displayed on the screen.
-
Click [Clusters] from the left menu to go to the cluster list screen. Choose a cluster from the list and click [start] to start the servers in the cluster.
Creating a domain with jeusadmin, a console tool, is similar to using WebAdmin, except that it is not necessary to change to the configuration mode.
The following describes how to create a domain using jeusadmin.
-
Add a node, node1, using the add-ssh-node command. Add node2 in the same way. Refer to JEUS Reference Book. "4.2.14.2. add-ssh-node" for detailed instructions about using the add-ssh-node command.
[DAS]domain1.adminServer>add-ssh-node node1 -host 192.168.34.1 -dir /home/sshUser/jeus -user sshUser The node [node1] was successfully added. -
Add an MS, server1, using the add-server command. Add server2 in the same way. Refer to JEUS Reference Book. "4.2.4.7. add-server" for detailed instructions about using the add-server command.
[DAS]domain1.adminServer>add-server server1 -node node1 -addr 192.168.34.1 -port 9836 Successfully performed the ADD operation for server (server1). Check the results using "list-servers or add-server" -
Add a cluster, cluster1, that consists of server1 and server2 using the add-cluster command. Refer to JEUS Reference Book. "4.2.4.1. add-cluster" for detailed instructions about using the add-cluster command.
[DAS]domain1.adminServer> add-cluster cluster1 -servers server1,server2 Successfully performed the ADD operation for cluster (cluster1). Check the results using "list-clusters or add-cluster" -
After adding all items up to the cluster, use the serverinfo command to verify the result.
