Setup Instructions

Perl

• YAML
• Net::Stomp
• DBI
• DBD::Pg

• Memcached::libmemcached

Checkout the source and setup an /etc/cornea.conf file.

PostgreSQL

Note that postgres 8.4 ships with named transactions disabled. We use that for a little bit of two-phase commit action across the database cluster. The 2PC stuff isn't in the critical performance path -- it is just for administrative functions (adding new storage nodes and adding new asset representations). You'll need to allow a few of those, so add the following to your postgresql.conf:

  max_prepared_transactions = 5

Setting up a few dedicated nodes... db1 and db2.

  db1# createdb cornea && createuser cornea && createlang cornea plpgsql && psql cornea cornea < cornea.sql
  db2# createdb cornea && createuser cornea && createlang cornea plpgsql && psql cornea cornea < cornea.sql
  db1# corneactl init-metanode
  db1# corneactl init-peer-metanode db2
  db2# corneactl init-metanode
  db2# corneactl init-peer-metanode db1
  db1# corneactl first-sync-peer-metanode db2
  db2# corneactl first-sync-peer-metanode db1
  db1# cd /cornea/etc/smf && mk-mirror-smf.sh db2
  db1# svccfg import /cornea/etc/smf/cornea-mirror-db2.xml
  db1# svcadm enable mirror-db2
  db2# cd /cornea/etc/smf && mk-mirror-smf.sh db1
  db2# svccfg import /cornea/etc/smf/cornea-mirror-db1.xml
  db2# svcadm enable mirror-db1

RabbitMQ (with stomp)

/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf (the keys must match):

SERVER_START_ARGS='
      -setcookie MAKEUPALONGSTRINGHERE
      -rabbit
         stomp_listeners [{"0.0.0.0",61613}]
         extra_startup_steps [{"STOMP-listeners",rabbit_stomp,kickstart,[]}]'

CTL_ERL_ARGS="-setcookie MAKEUPALONGSTRINGHERE"

 # rabbitmqctl add_user cornea cornea
 # rabbitmqctl delete_user guest
 # rabbitmqctl set_permissions cornea "^cornea.*" ".*" ".*"
