Customers can convert the HSN nodes present in the cliques to active TPA node for scaling out/in purposes.This operation is called Activate/Deactivate or Toggle HSN.

HSN Activate (Scale out)
  1. Run command: tdc-toggle-hsn -a –n

    -a - Activate and - n - Non-interactive

    The Activate Toggle HSN will:
    • Toggle all the HSNs of all the cliques to active DB nodes
    • Distributed all the AMPs of the clique equally (+/- 1) to all the nodes in the clique including HSN
    • Distributes all the allocators of the clique equally (+/- 1) to all the nodes in the clique including HSN
  2. Verify the logs /var/log/Reconfig/tdc-toggle-hsn.log. Ensure there are no errors or failures.
  3. Check DB status post toggle:
    database001-01:~ # psh pdestate -a
    all 5 nodes: 
    PDE state is RUN/STARTED.
    DBS state is 5: Logons are enabled - The system is quiescent
    

HSN Deactivate (Scale in)

Upon deactivation of HSN nodes, the system goes back to its previous state

  1. Run command: tdc-toggle-hsn -d –n

    -d - Deactivate and - n - Non-interactive

    The Deactivate HSN will:
    • Toggle all the activated HSNs back to regular HSNs
    • Migrates all the AMPs handled by HSNs back to active DB nodes in the clique
    • Migrates all the allocators handled by HSNs back to active DB nodes in the clique
  2. Verify the logs /var/log/Reconfig/tdc-toggle-hsn.log. Ensure there are no errors or failures.
  3. Check DB status post toggle:
    database001-01:~ # psh pdestate -a
    
    byn001-01 byn001-02 byn001-04 (3):
    PDE state is RUN/STARTED.
    DBS state is 5: Logons are enabled - The system is quiescent
    
    byn001-03 byn001-05 (2):
    PDE state: DOWN/STANDBY
    

    You can see the HSN nodes as Standby.
