Use Different Subnets

It is critical that you have a robust network between the AS and DB. There is significant traffic between these servers, if you do not have the network to support increased traffic there will be issues.

You can set up an AS and a DB in separate subnets, however, all application servers must be in the same subnet.

To set up a database server and application server on different subnets, complete the following steps.

  1. Log in to the FMOS CLI.
  2. Install the database server as a New Deployment and with a Database Only role.
  3. Install the application server as an Existing Deployment.
  4. Do not join the application server to the database server at this time. Note the IP address of the application server.
  5. Access the Server Control Panel. https://<DB server IP>:55555
  6. On the toolbar, click SecMgr.
  7. On the menu page, click DB.
  8. Update the Shared Filesystem Hosts field. Enter one or more of the following (separated by a space):
    • IP address of the AS from step 4
    • Network that the AS exists in
  9. Click Stage Changes.
  10. Click Apply Configuration.
  11. Return to the FMOS CLI to continue.
  12. Run the ecosystem join command on the application server. fmos ecosystem join <FQDN of DB server>
