EQX Server Manual
Revision 2.2 Page 3
3. INSTALLING THE EQX SERVER
1. Copy the two EQX server files onto a USB stick. (There will be a large base file and a small
update file).
2. Insert the USB stick into the linux server (Note the location where it is automatically installed. It
will install to sda(x), which will probably be sda1)
3. To mount the USB drive: Type mkdir /mnt/usb and then press <enter>. Doing this creates a
directory in the /mnt directory called usb. Then type mount /dev/sdax /mnt/usb (where the x
value entered will be the same as the previous step)
4. Copy the two eqx server files onto the machines: cp /mnt/usb/eqx_ …..efp ~/ and press
<enter>. Repeat this step for the other file.
5. Run the larger file: sh eqx_server_0.4.10.efp and then press <enter>. This process may take
several minutes.
6. When prompted to configure the heartbeat press ok to continue.
7. Select option 2 “create a heartbeat cluster” and press <enter>.
8.
Select A to add a new node. Add the hostname of the OTHER COMPUTER (if you are building
EQXPRI then you only need to add EQXSEC, if you are building EQXSEC you only need to
add EQXPRI…) set during linux install EXACTLY the same way (same case, punctuation, etc).
9. Choose F to finish managing nodes.
10.
When prompted to choose a primary node enter the hostname of the PRIMARY EQX SERVER
exactly as during linux install (same case, punctuation etc) on both machines.
11. When prompted to enter the IP for managing the heartbeat, enter the “virtual” SYSTEM IP
address, which is set the same on both machines.
12. When prompted, review the settings and then choose “yes” to save them.
13. When prompted choose OK to end the heartbeat configuration.
14. When prompted, the following is a list of Database information:
a. MYSQL
b. Localhost
c. 3306
d. Pantheos
e. User for DB is root
f. No password
g. Choose “yes” if correct
h. The administration password for the web config is admin.
15. Now run the second file: sh eqx-se…….efp and then press <enter>. When prompted choose
OK to finish.
16. Once the installation of the update file is complete on the primary server shut it down by using
“shutdown –h now” and pressing <enter>.
17. At this point return to the beginning of this section and follow the same procedure for the
secondary server.
18. Once this step is reached for the secondary server and it is shutdown, then power on the
primary server first and then the secondary server.
