Convert a Single Server Deployment to a Distributed Database Deployment

Convert the existing deployment.
Stop the server using the
sudo service demisto stop
command.
(Optional)
If you have docker images that you want to copy, run the following command:
docker save -o <name>.tar <image>
Where:
name is the name of the output file to which you want to save the docker image
image is the current docker image that you want to save
Copy the tar file you created to the machine on which you will install the application server.
Run the Cortex XSOAR installation package using the
sudo ./demistoserver-X.sh -- -db-only -db-secret=<your_db_secret> -y
command.
Parameter	Description
demistoserver-X	The name of the Cortex XSOAR installer, where X is the version and build number.
db-only	The flag indicating that only the database server is installed.
db-secret	A 10-character string used by the database to authenticate the app servers.
y	Answers all remaining installation questions with a yes (using default settings) and enables you to continue the installation silently.
For example:
sudo ./demistoserver-5.0-45985.sh -- -db-only -db-secret=9876543210 -external-address=2.2.2.2 -y
Install the Cortex XSOAR app server using the
sudo ./demistoserver-X.sh-- -server-only -db-secret=<your_db_secret> -db-address=<IP or hostname> -external-address=<IP or hostname> -cluster-address=<app server address> -y
command.
Parameter	Description
demistoserver-X	The name of the Cortex XSOAR installer, where X is the version and build number.
server-only	The flag indicating that only the app server is installed.
db-secret	A 10-character string that you defined when you installed the database server. The secret is used by the database to authenticate the app servers.
db-address	The database server's public IP address or hostname. Do not include the http or https prefix.
external-address	If not using a load balancer or a DNS server, the app server public address. If using a load balancer, the load balancer’s public IP address or hostname.

For example:
sudo ./demistoserver--5.0-45985.sh-- -server-only -db-secret=9876543210 -db-address=2.2.2.2 -external-address=3.3.3.3 -y
(Optional)
If you copied docker images from the database server to the application server, run the following command:
docker load -i <name>.tar
Where name is the name of the file to which you saved the docker image(s).
Verify that your docker images were properly loaded using the
docker images
command.
Reconnect all Cortex XSOAR engines.
Connect to the machines on which the engine is installed.
Stop the engine service using the
sudoservice d1 stop
command.
Navigate to
/usr/local/demisto/
and open
d1.conf
in a text editor.
Under
EngineURLs
and
AgentURLs
, replace the current values with the app server’s external IP address or hostname.
Restart the engine using the
sudo serviced1 start
command.
Check the status of the engine using the
sudo systemctl status d1
command.
The engine logs are available at
/var/log/demisto/d1.log
