Deploy OMS on multiple nodes in multiple regions|V3.4.0|OceanBase Migration Service|OMS docs|Distributed Database

This topic describes how to deploy OceanBase Migration Service (OMS) on multiple nodes in multiple regions by using deployment tools.

Background

As more users apply OMS in data migration, OMS must adapt to increasingly diverse scenarios. In addition to single-region data migration and data synchronization, OMS supports data synchronization across regions, data migration between IDCs in different regions, and active-active data synchronization.

You can deploy OMS on one or more nodes in each region. OMS can be deployed on multiple nodes in a region to build an environment with high availability. In this way, OMS can start components on appropriate nodes based on the tasks.

For example, if you want to synchronize data from Region Hangzhou to Region Heilongjiang, OMS starts stores on a node in Region Hangzhou to collect the incremental logs and starts writers on a node in Region Heilongjiang to synchronize the data.

Notes:

You can deploy OMS on a single node first and scale out to multiple nodes. For more information, see Scale out OMS.
To deploy OMS on multiple nodes, you must apply for a virtual IP address (VIP) and use it as the mount point for the OMS console. In addition, you must configure the mapping rules of Ports 8088 and 8089 in the VIP network strategy.

You can use the VIP to access the OMS console even if an OMS node fails.

Prerequisites

The installation environment meets the system requirements. For more information, see System requirements.
The MetaDB cluster is prepared as the OMS MetaDB.
The OMS installation package is obtained. Generally, the package is a tar.gz file whose name starts with oms.
Make sure that the server to deploy OMS can connect to all other servers.
The downloaded OMS image file has been loaded to the local image repository of the Docker container on each server node.

docker load -i <Storage path of the OMS image>

In this example, the name of the loaded image file is OMS_IMAGE. You need to replace it with the actual name of your image file.
Make sure that all servers involved in the multi-node deployment can connect to each other and that you can obtain root permissions on a node by using its username and password.

Deploy OMS without the configuration file

Log on to the server where OMS is to be deployed.
Optional. Deploy a time-series database.

If you need to collect and display OMS monitoring data, deploy a time-series database. Otherwise, you can skip this step. For more information, see Deploy a time-series database.

Run the following command to obtain the deployment script from the loaded image:

sudo docker run -d --name oms-config-tool <OMS_IMAGE> bash && sudo docker cp oms-config-tool:/root/docker_remote_deploy.sh . && sudo docker rm -f oms-config-tool

Use the deployment script to start the deployment tool.

sh docker_remote_deploy.sh -o <deploy_tool_workdir> -i <IP address of the server> -d <OMS_IMAGE>

Follow the prompts to complete the deployment. After you set each parameter, press Enter to move on to the next parameter.
1. Select the deployment mode.
  
  Select Multiple Regions.
2. Select the task.
  
  Select No Configuration File. Deploy OMS Starting from Configuration File Generation.
3. Specify the following MetaDB information:
  1. IP address of the MetaDB
  2. Port number of the MetaDB
  3. Username used to connect to the MetaDB
  4. Password used to connect to the MetaDB
  5. Prefix for names of databases in the MetaDB
    
    For example, if you set the prefix to oms, the final database names are oms_rm, oms_cm, and oms_cm_hb.
4. Confirm your settings.
  
  If the settings are correct, enter y and press Enter to proceed. Otherwise, enter n and press Enter to modify the settings.
5. If the system displays "The specified database names already exist in the metadatabase. Are you sure that you want to continue?", it indicates that the database names you specified already exist in the MetaDB. This may be caused by repeated deployment or upgrade of OMS. You can enter y and press Enter to proceed, or enter n and press Enter to re-specify the settings.
6. Perform the following operations to configure the OMS cluster settings:
  1. Enter the region ID, for example: cn-hangzhou.
  2. Specify the URL of the Cluster Manager (CM) service, which is the virtual IP address (VIP) or domain name to which all CM servers in the region are mounted. The original parameter is cm-url.
    
    You can separately specify the IP address and port number in the URL, or use a colon (:) to join the IP address and port number in the <IP address>:<port number> format.
    
    Note:
    
    The http:// prefix in the URL is optional.
  3. Enter the IP addresses of all servers in the region. Separate them with commas (,).
  4. Specify whether to preferentially access the current region.
    
    In the multi-region deployment mode, you must set this parameter to true for at least one region. If yes, enter y and press Enter. If not, enter n and press Enter.
  5. Confirm the displayed settings of the OMS cluster.
    
    If the settings are correct, enter y and press Enter to proceed. Otherwise, enter n and press Enter to modify the settings.
7. Confirm whether to enable OMS historical data monitoring.
  - If you have deployed a time-series database, enter y and press Enter to go to the next step to configure the time-series database and enable the monitoring of OMS historical data.
  - If you did not deploy a time-series database, enter n and press Enter to go to the step of "determining whether to enable the audit log feature and setting Simple Log Service (SLS) parameters". In this case, OMS does not monitor the historical data after deployment.
8. Configure the time-series database.
  
  Perform the following operations:
  1. Confirm whether you have deployed a time-series database.
    
    If yes, enter y and press Enter. If not, enter n and press Enter to go to the step of "determining whether to enable the audit log feature and setting SLS parameters".
  2. Set the type of the time-series database to INFLUXDB.
    
    Notice:
    
    At present, only INFLUXDB is supported.
  3. Enter the URL of the time-series database.
    
    You can separately enter the IP address and port number in the URL, or use a colon (:) to join the IP address and port number in the <IP address>:<port number> format.
  4. Enter the username used to connect to the time-series database.
  5. Enter the password used to connect to the time-series database.
  6. Confirm whether the displayed settings are correct.
    
    If the settings are correct, enter y and press Enter to proceed. Otherwise, enter n and press Enter to modify the settings.
9. Determine whether to enable the audit log feature and set SLS parameters.
  
  To enable the audit log feature, enter y and press Enter to go to the next step to specify the SLS parameters.
  
  To start deployment on each node, enter n and press Enter to go to the step of "starting the deployment on each node one after another". In this case, OMS does not audit the logs after deployment.
10. Specify the following SLS parameters:
11. URL of SLS
12. access-key used to access SLS
13. secret-key used to access SLS
14. user-site-topic of SLS
15. ops-site-topic of SLS
16. Confirm whether the displayed settings are correct.
  
  If the settings are correct, enter y and press Enter to proceed. Otherwise, enter n and press Enter to modify the settings.
17. Start the deployment on each node one after another.
18. Perform the following operations to specify additional information that is required for the deployment on a node:
19. Enter the username used to connect to the server.
20. Enter the password used to connect to the server.
21. Specify the path of the config.yaml file, which must end with a slash (/).
22. Specify the root directory to which the OMS container is mounted in the host.
```
  Use a directory with a large capacity.
```
1. Confirm whether the OMS image file can be named as OMS_IMAGE.
```
  If yes, enter `y` and press **Enter**. If not, enter `n` and press **Enter**.
```
1. Confirm whether to install an Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate for the OMS container.
```
  If yes, enter `y`, press **Enter**, and specify the `https_key` and `https_crt` directories as prompted. If not, enter `n` and press **Enter**.
```
1. Go back to the step of "starting the deployment on each node one after another", until the deployment is completed on all nodes in the current region.
2. Confirm whether to deploy OMS in a new region.
After the deployment is completed, the system displays "OMS has been deployed in Regions [<Region ID 1>,<Region ID 2>…]. Do you want to deploy OMS in a new region?"

If yes, enter y and press Enter to proceed. If not, enter n and press Enter to end the deployment process.
1. A message is displayed, showing the names and IDs of existing regions, to help you avoid using an existing name or ID for a new region.
2. Repeat the step of "performing the following operations to configure the OMS cluster settings" to the step of "going back to the step of 'starting the deployment on each node one after another', until the deployment is completed on all nodes in the current region". Then, end the process.

Template and example of the configuration file

Configuration file template

Notice:

When multiple regions exist, you must set the cm_is_default parameter to true for only one region, and set it to false for all other regions. In addition, you must sequentially run commands in each region.

To deploy multiple nodes in the Hangzhou region, specify the IP addresses of all nodes for the cm_nodes parameter.

You must replace the sample values of required parameters based on your actual deployment environment. Optional parameters are commented in this example. You can modify the optional parameters or uncomment the parameters as needed.

In the config.yaml file, you must specify the parameters in the key: value format, with a space after the colon (:).

In the following examples of the config.yaml file for the multi-node multi-region deployment mode, OMS is deployed on two nodes in the Hangzhou and Heilongjiang regions.

The following example describes a template of the config.yaml file for you to deploy OMS in the Hangzhou region:

# Information about the OMS MetaDB
oms_meta_host: ${oms_meta_host}
oms_meta_port: ${oms_meta_port}
oms_meta_user: ${oms_meta_user}
oms_meta_password: ${oms_meta_password}

# You can customize the names of the following three databases, which are created in the MetaDB when you deploy OMS.
drc_rm_db: ${drc_rm_db}
drc_cm_db: ${drc_cm_db}
drc_cm_heartbeat_db: ${drc_cm_heartbeat_db}

# The user that consumes the incremental data of OceanBase Database.
# To read incremental logs of OceanBase Database, create the user in the sys tenant.
# You must create the drc_user in the sys tenant of the OceanBase cluster to be migrated and specify the drc_user in the config.yaml file.
drc_user: ${drc_user}
drc_password: '${drc_password}'

# Configure the OMS cluster in the Hangzhou region.
# To deploy OMS on multiple nodes in multiple regions, you must set the cm_url parameter to a VIP or domain name to which all CM servers in the region are mounted.
cm_url: ${cm_url}
cm_location: ${cm_location}
cm_region: ${cm_region}
cm_is_default: true
cm_nodes:
 - ${host_ip1}
 -  ${host_ip2}
# Configurations of the time-series database
# Default value: false. To enable metric reporting, set the parameter to `true`.
# tsdb_enabled: false
# If the `tsdb_enabled` parameter is set to `true`, delete comments for the following parameters and specify the values based on your actual configurations.
# tsdb_service: 'INFLUXDB'
# tsdb_url: '${tsdb_url}'
# tsdb_username: ${tsdb_user}
# tsdb_password: ${tsdb_password}

Parameter	Description	Required
oms_meta_host	The IP address of the MetaDB, which can be the IP address of a MySQL database or a MySQL tenant of OceanBase Database. Notice: This parameter is valid only in OceanBase Database V2.0 and later.	Yes
oms_meta_port	The port number of the MetaDB.	Yes
oms_meta_user	The username of the MetaDB.	Yes
oms_meta_password	The user password of the MetaDB.	Yes
drc_rm_db	The name of the database for the OMS console.	Yes
drc_cm_db	The name of the database for the CM service.	Yes
drc_cm_heartbeat_db	The name of the heartbeat database for the CM service.	Yes

drc_password	The password of the `drc_user` account.	No
cm_url	The URL of the OMS CM service. Example: `http://VIP:8088`. Note: To deploy OMS on multiple nodes in multiple regions, you must set the `cm_url` parameter to a VIP or domain name to which all CM servers in the region are mounted. We do not recommend that you set it to `http://127.0.0.1:8088`. The access URL of the OMS console is in the format of `IP address of the host on which OMS is deployed:8089`. Example: `http://xxx.xxx.xxx.1:8089, or https://xxx.xxx.xxx.1:8089`. Port 8088 is used for program calls, and Port 8089 is used for web page access. You must specify Port 8088.	Yes
cm_location	The code of the region. Value range: [0,127]. You can select one number for each region. Notice: If you upgrade to OMS V3.2.1 from an earlier version, you must set the `cm_location` parameter to 0.	Yes
cm_region	The name of the region. Example: cn-hangzhou. Notice: If you use OMS with the Alibaba Cloud Multi-Site High Availability (MSHA) service in an active-active disaster recovery scenario, use the region configured for the Alibaba Cloud service.``	Yes
cm_nodes	The IP addresses of servers on which the OMS CM service is deployed. In multi-node deployment mode, you must specify multiple IP addresses for the parameter.	Yes
cm_is_default	Indicates whether the OMS CM service is enabled by default.	No. Default value: `true`

tsdb_url	The IP address of the server where InfluxDB is deployed, which needs to be modified based on the actual environment. You need to modify this parameter based on the actual environment if you set the `tsdb_enabled` parameter to `true`. After the time-series database is deployed, it maps to OMS deployed for the whole cluster. This means that although OMS is deployed in multiple regions, all regions map to the same time-series database.	No
tsdb_username	The username used to connect to the time-series database. You need to modify this parameter based on the actual environment if you set the `tsdb_enabled` parameter to `true`. After you deploy the time-series database, manually create a user and specify the username and password.	No
tsdb_password	The password used to connect to the time-series database. You need to modify this parameter based on the actual environment if you set the `tsdb_enabled` parameter to `true`.	No
