The extra-large deployment profile is intended for systems that manage 240,000 resources, 120,000 of which are activated for Continuous Availability. This deployment is divided into two data centers and is the maximum supported analytics cluster deployment.

Virtual Appliance Names

The extra-large deployment profile contains six extra-large analytics nodes. Large cloud proxies for adapters and witness node for continuous availability.

  • analytics-1.ra.local
  • analytics-2.ra.local
  • analytics-3.ra.local
  • analytics-4.ra.local
  • analytics-5.ra.local
  • analytics-6.ra.local
  • witness-1.ra.local

Deployment Profile Support

For the configuration which the extra large deployment profile supports, see the sizing guidelines at KB2093783.

Load Balanced Addresses

  • analytics.ra.local

Certificate

The certificate must be signed by a Certificate Authority. The Subject Alternative Name contains the following information.

  • DNS Name = analytics.refarch.local
  • DNS Name = analytics-1.ra.local to analytics-16.ra.local
  • DNS Name = remote-1.ra.local to remote-N.ra.local
  • DNS Name = witness-1.ra.local

This is an example of an extra-large deployment profile. The adapter in the example provides N-1 redundancy, meaning, if two adapters support 20,000 resources, then a third adapter is added to attain a supported configuration that allows for a single failure.

Table 1. Adapter Properties
Collector Group Data Center Cloud Proxy Adapter Resources
1 A cp-1 A 5,000
1 A cp-2 B 5,000
Total 10,000
2 A cp-3 C 2,000
2 A cp-3 D 2,000
2 A cp-3 E 1,000
2 A cp-4 F 7,000
2 A cp-5 G 8,000
2 A cp-6 H 5,000
2 A cp-7 I 6,000
Total 31,000
3 B cp-8 J 10,000
3 B cp-9 K 5,000
3 B cp-10 L 5,000
Total 20,000

If a cloud proxy is lost from these collector groups, you might have to manually rebalance the adapters to comply with the limit for each cloud proxy.
