Search:

1. Remove Elastic Modules (from both nodes .. node1 and node2):

cd /home/liferay/servers/cluster/node1/osgi/portal
rm com.liferay.portal.search.elasticsearch.shield.fragment.jar
rm com.liferay.portal.search.elasticsearch.shield.jar

(Restart) Node 1 : is http://localhost:7080 and Node 2: http://localhost:8080

2. Configure Elastic Search Goto : Control Panel -> System Settings -> foundations -> Elastic search Edit

Cluster name : elasticsearch Operation mode: REMOTE Transport address: localhost:9300

3. Reindex Control Panel -> Server Administration -> Reindex

Goto: http://localhost:9200/_plugin/head/ .. and you see Elastic search

Clustering ..

1. change from node2 portal-ext.properties:

module.framework.properties.osgi.console=localhost:11311 
port to 22311

2. Uncomment following lines from both node

#dl.store.impl=com.liferay.portal.store.db.DBStore
#cluster.link.enabled=true

Setup tomcat to be ready fy sticky session

sudo su -

(password liferay)

cp /home/liferay/snippets/apache-conf-snippet.txt /etc/apache2/sites-available/liferay.conf
cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
rm 000-default.conf
ln ../sites-available/liferay.conf 00-default.conf
apache2ctl restart

Login to Liferay at address: http://localhost

TCP clustering:

cd /home/liferay/servers/cluster
jar -xf node1/osgi/portal/com.liferay.portal.cluster.multiple.jar tcp.xml

Find following statement and comment that:

<TCPPING timeout="3000”  initial_hosts="${jgroups.tcpping.initial_hosts:localhos[7800],localhost[7801]}” port_range="1” num_initial_members="10"/>

Replace with following:

<!-- USE FILE PING for node discovery CHANGE START -->
<FILE_PING location="${jgroups.fileping.location:/home/liferay/servers/cluster/groups}"/>
<!-- USE FILE PING for node discovery CHANGE END -->

Modify portal-ext.properties for both nodes and add:

cluster.link.channel.properties.control=/home/liferay/servers/cluster/tcp.xml
cluster.link.channel.properties.transport.0=/home/liferay/servers/cluster/tcp.xml

There seems to be a small typo on line 101: localhos[7800] should be localhost[7800]
