Planning Data Shaper installation

Data Shaper is an optional Data One add-on that is installed on top of one or more Peers of a working STENG Cluster.

Data Shaper installation is driven by a specialized version of DOIM CLI (doim-datashaper.sh) that will:

  • Interactively collect user input for key installation parameters (doim-datashaper.sh rspfile-create)
  • Install the required Data Shaper executable deliverables and initial configuration on the selected STENG Peers (doim-datashaper.sh domain-install)
  • Install Data Shaper license (doim-datashaper.sh license-install)
  • Automatically extend the current DMCFG (dmcfg.yaml) file with Data Shaper additional parameters

Planning Data Shaper installation is very simple, the only two planning decisions to make are:

  • On which Peers of which STENG cluster Data Shaper must be installed:
    • Just one cluster can be selected
    • One or more Peers belonging to the designated cluster can be selected
    • Installing on multiple Peers gives extra availability and scalability for Data Shaper
  • When Data Shaper must be installed
    • During Data Shaper installation Data One needs to be shutdown
