Setup Procedure for Connecting to a LifeKeeper Cluster using AWS

In this section, a general procedure to setup the environment shown as the figure below

Preparations

Create an environment that satisfies Requirements. Please install LifeKeeper on each instance and create a communication path between Node1 and Node2 (or Node2’). Please confirm that you can access from other VPC environments to the ENI’s real IP address connected to Node1/Node2 (or Node2’).

Creating IP Resource

Create an IP resource: not a virtual IP resource but a real IP resource (Note: resource for a primary IP address configured for Network Interface). Please specify IP address “0.0.0.0” when creating a resource. Also, specify IP address “0.0.0.0” for an extension target node when extending. Refer to the IP Recovery Kit Administration Guide for more information.

Creating Route53 Resource

Create Route53 resource. Please specify the IP resource created in Creating IP Resources if required when creating Route53 resource.

Creating Resources for Protected Services

Create resources for protected services. Please specify the IP resource created in Creating IP Resources if required when creating resources. Also, please create a resource dependency to enable the resources of the services protected by the parent resource and the child resource to become Route53 resources.
