How to add multiple clients
Main Page > Software > Install-0.7.1-alpha > How to add multiple clients
Checklist
- Set a static IP on your server machine
- NFS is installed/running on your server machine
Set mysql to listen on public interface (transcoder)
on MCPServer host, edit /etc/mysql/my.cnf
sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
then comment out
#bind-address = 127.0.0.1
restart mysql
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart>
Install
Install the client package
sudo aptitude install archivematica-mcp-client
edit /etc/fstab
sudo nano /etc/fstab
assuming the IP of your NFS server is the same as your MCP-Server (ie 192.168.0.100) add the following
192.168.0.100:/var/archivematica/sharedDirectory /var/archivematica/sharedDirectory nfs defaults 0 0
Supported Modules
Comment out the upload and storeAIP tasks, from the supported tasks on the client machine, by prepending the line with a '#'.
sudo mousepad /etc/archivematica/MCPClient/archivematicaClientModules
#upload-qubit_v0.0="upload-qubit " #storeAIP_v0.0="%clientScriptsDirectory%storeAIP.sh " ...
Change the IP/Hostname
Change the IP/Hostname the client machine is connecting to.
sudo mousepad /etc/archivematica/MCPClient/clientConfig.conf
MCPArchivematicaServer="server.local" MCPArchivematicaServerPort="8002"
In the same file, /etc/archivematica/MCPClient/clientConfig.conf, you can set the max number of threads this client will run.
maxThreads="2"
Disable the MCP Server
Each client node needs to have the MCP server disabled from starting at startup.
login to each node, remove /etc/init/archivematica-mcp-server.conf and reboot.
sudo stop archivematica-mcp-server sudo rm /etc/init/archivematica-mcp-server.conf
Reboot
sudo stop openoffice-service; sudo start openoffice-service sudo stop archivematica-mcp-client; sudo start archivematica-mcp-client
The client should connect on startup.
Note: to see the dashboard, or ica-atom, you'll need to visit the server's ip address, not localhost.
