  • Page 17: Installation Overview

    Junos Space automatically enables node functionality across the nodes in the fabric to distribute workload. The nodes in the fabric work together to provide a virtualized resource pool for each of the node functions: load balancer, database, and application logic. Copyright © 2010, Juniper Networks, Inc.

  • Page 18: Virtual Appliance Deployment

    CPU, RAM, and disk space requirements for deploying a Junos Space Virtual Appliance. In addition, Juniper recommends that, for a multi-node fabric, you deploy the first and second virtual appliance on separate VMware ESX servers to ensure failover support. Copyright © 2010, Juniper Networks, Inc.

  • Page 19: Configuring An Ntp Time Source For Each Appliance

    When you add nodes to the fabric, you can manage and monitor the nodes from the Administration workspace. To add, manage, and monitor nodes in the fabric, a fabric administrator connects to a single virtual IP address, as shown in the illustration. Copyright © 2010, Juniper Networks, Inc.

  • Page 20: Single Node Functionality

    Application Logic— for processing back-end business logic (Junos Space service requests) and DML workload (device connectivity, device events, and logging) NOTE: A fabric that comprises a single node provides no workload balancing and no backup if the appliance goes down. Copyright © 2010, Juniper Networks, Inc.

  • Page 21: Multinode Functionality

    First node up: The load balancer, database, and application logic functions are enabled on the node. Each node function provides both scalability and high availability. The following illustration shows all functions enabled on fabric comprising one node. Copyright © 2010, Juniper Networks, Inc.
  • Page 22 The following illustration shows the functions enabled on a fabric comprising three nodes. NOTE: For the third node and each subsequent node added to the fabric, only the application logic functionality is enabled. Copyright © 2010, Juniper Networks, Inc.

  • Page 23: Node Function Availability

    The web interface is only on the VIP, the same subnet as eth0. Device management, outbound (discover) and inbound (post-discovery), including syslog and DMI, should be eth3, or eth0 if eth3 is not configured. Related Documentation Copyright © 2010, Juniper Networks, Inc.
