- 6. Copyright 2017 Severalnines ABCopyright 2017 Severalnines AB Highly Available Ops Manager Architecture In this scenario, a highly available Ops Manager requires 8 physical servers, not including the HTTP load balancer. Apart from the HTTP Services, the solution requires 3 MongoDB replica sets of 3 data nodes each; One each for the Application Database, and the Backup Blockstore Databases #1 & #2.

Redundancy can be achieved through deploying a database snapshot on a second node, and installing the ClusterControl applications. With a HTTP proxy in front, requests can be directed to the live node. ClusterControl services such as auto-recovery should be stopped on the second node to avoid complications.
