Once SDN-C pod is up and running (might take up to 5~7 minutes), the akka.conf should be updated with IP addresses configured in values.yaml for ODL clustering.

- Log in to one of the SDN-C pods and check the akka.conf from /opt/opendaylight/current/configuration/initial/:
Example akka.conf

odl-cluster-data {
  akka {
    remote {
      artery {
        enabled = off
        canonical.hostname= "10.147.114.5"
        canonical.port = 30251
      }
      netty.tcp {
        bind-hostname= "10.36.0.3"
        bind-port = 2550
        hostname= "10.147.114.5"
        port = 30251
      }
      # when under load we might trip a false positive on the failure detector
      # transport-failure-detector {
        # heartbeat-interval = 4 s
        # acceptable-heartbeat-pause = 16s
      # }
    }
    cluster {
      # Remove ".tcp" when using artery.
      seed-nodes = ["akka.tcp://opendaylight-cluster-data@10.147.114.5:30251",
                                "akka.tcp://opendaylight-cluster-data@10.147.114.5:30252",
                                "akka.tcp://opendaylight-cluster-data@10.147.114.5:30253",
                                "akka.tcp://opendaylight-cluster-data@10.147.114.140:30251",
                                "akka.tcp://opendaylight-cluster-data@10.147.114.140:30252",
                                "akka.tcp://opendaylight-cluster-data@10.147.114.140:30253"]
      roles = ["member-1"]
    }
    persistence {
      # By default the snapshots/journal directories live in KARAF_HOME. You can choose to put it somewhere else by
      # modifying the following two properties. The directory location specified may be a relative or absolute path.
      # The relative path is always relative to KARAF_HOME.
      # snapshot-store.local.dir = "target/snapshots"
      # journal.leveldb.dir = "target/journal"
      journal {
        leveldb {
          # Set native = off to use a Java-only implementation of leveldb.
          # Note that the Java-only version is not currently considered by Akka to be production quality.
          # native = off
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

To test ODL clustering:

Using Jolokia RestConf API

To monitor the status of the cluster, you must enable the Jolokia support in OpenDaylight (if not enabeld already):

opendaylight-user@root>feature:install odl-jolokia
opendaylight-user@root>feature:list -i | grep odl-jolokia
odl-jolokia      | 1.8.2.Carbon-redhat-3  | x         | odl-extras-1.8.2.Carbon-redhat-3       | Jolokia JMX/HTTP bridge

Run the Jolokia restConf read API to review ODL cluster details like "PeerAddresses", "PeerVotingStates", "Voting", "ShardName", "FollowerInfo" "Leader" for any shard. Use user: admin, password: admin to access.

To list shards, use below API:

Operational Data Store:

http://<site-master-ip>:30202/jolokia/read/org.opendaylight.controller:type=DistributedOperationalDatastore,Category=ShardManager,name=shard-manager-operational

Example:
http://10.147.114.5:30202/jolokia/read/org.opendaylight.controller:type=DistributedOperationalDatastore,Category=ShardManager,name=shard-manager-operational


Response:
{
  "request": {
    "mbean": "org.opendaylight.controller:Category=ShardManager,name=shard-manager-operational,type=DistributedOperationalDatastore",
    "type": "read"
  },
  "value": {
    "LocalShards": [
      "member-1-shard-default-operational",
      "member-1-shard-prefix-configuration-shard-operational",
      "member-1-shard-topology-operational",
      "member-1-shard-entity-ownership-operational",
      "member-1-shard-inventory-operational",
      "member-1-shard-toaster-operational"
    ],
    "SyncStatus": true,
    "MemberName": "member-1"
  },
  "timestamp": 1523296054,
  "status": 200
}

Config Data Store:

http://<site-master-ip>:30202/jolokia/read/org.opendaylight.controller:type=DistributedConfigDatastore,Category=ShardManager,name=shard-manager-config

Example:
http://10.147.114.5:30202/jolokia/read/org.opendaylight.controller:type=DistributedConfigDatastore,Category=ShardManager,name=shard-manager-config


Response:

{
  "request": {
    "mbean": "org.opendaylight.controller:Category=ShardManager,name=shard-manager-config,type=DistributedConfigDatastore",
    "type": "read"
  },
  "value": {
    "LocalShards": [
      "member-1-shard-default-config",
      "member-1-shard-prefix-configuration-shard-config",
      "member-1-shard-topology-config",
      "member-1-shard-inventory-config",
      "member-1-shard-toaster-config"
    ],
    "SyncStatus": true,
    "MemberName": "member-1"
  },
  "timestamp": 1523295916,
  "status": 200
}

The exact names from the “LocalShards” lists are needed for further exploration, as they will be used as part of the URI to look up detailed info on a particular shard.
The output helps to identify shard state (leader/follower, voting/non-voting), peers, follower details if the shard is a leader, and other statistics/counters.

To run the jolokia restConf read API to review ODL cluster details like "PeerAddresses", "PeerVotingStates", "Voting", "ShardName", "FollowerInfo" "Leader" for shard: member-1-shard-inventory-config, use:

http://<site-master-ip>:30202/jolokia/read/org.opendaylight.controller:Category=Shards,name=member-1-shard-inventory-config,type=DistributedConfigDatastore

Example:
http://10.147.114.5:30202/jolokia/read/org.opendaylight.controller:Category=Shards,name=member-1-shard-inventory-config,type=DistributedConfigDatastore

Using cluster monitoring tool:

Install cluster monitoring tool

Download the cluster monitor from github

github cluster monitoring

git clone https://github.com/opendaylight/integration-test.git

Update ./integration-test/tools/clustering/cluster-monitor/cluster.json with the ip (from above) of your ODL cluster nodes

Example of cluster.json

{
    "cluster": {
        "controllers": [
            {"ip": "10.44.0.3", "port": "8181"},
            {"ip": "10.44.0.2", "port": "8181"},
            {"ip": "10.36.0.3", "port": "8181"}
        ],
        "user": "admin",
        "pass": "admin",
        "shards_to_exclude": []
    }
}

Install the attached monitor.py script in <integration-test repo>/tools/clustering/cluster-monitor and run it.

Run monitor.py

#Install python-pycurl at this point

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-pycurl
cd ./integration-test/tools/clustering/cluster-monitor
python monitor.py
