Commands to Start a Secure Data Grid

Goal: Create a secure data grid named grid1 running across four computers and access it from a client application running on a separate computer.

Hosts: host1, host2, host3, host4, host5 (for client application)

Procedure

  1. Perform the steps listed in Initial Setup to Start a Secure Data Grid.
  2. Perform the steps listed in Create Directories Needed to Run the Processes.
  3. Perform the steps listed in Setting Up and Starting TIBCO FTL Servers.
  4. In a browser, browse to https://host1:8085 or https://host2:8185 or https://host3:8285.
    An empty realm server with a working GUI is displayed.
  5. Initialize the data grid from host1. 
    >tibdg -r https://host1:8085 -s /home/youruser/as/init/grid1/grid1.tibdg --trust-file /home/youruser/as/grid1/ftl-trust.pem
    Warning: If you do not provide the trust file as a command-line option, the command fails when communicating with a secure TIBCO FTL server.
  6. Check the status after configuring the data grid (no processes are running as expected). 
    >tibdg -r https://host1:8085 --trust-file /home/youruser/as/grid1/ftl-trust.pem -g grid1 status
Grid grid1:
Grid is not functioning.
FTL healthy.  Up for 824 seconds.
Admin server is not running

  9. Start a sample client to run operations. 
    >/opt/tibco/as/4.2/samples/bin/operations -r "https://host1:8085|https://host2:8185|https://host3:8285" --trust-file /home/youruser/as/grid1/ftl-trust.pem -g grid1
