# TS
installer download

wget https://downloads.tableau.com/esdalt/2020.2.5/tableau-server-2020-2-5.x86_64.rpm

Step1:
Install Initial node

Step 2:
Generate bootstrap file on the initial node

tsm
topology nodes get-bootstrap-file --file <path\file>.json

scp
./bootstrap.json dpark@node2IP:~/

scp
./bootstrap.json dpark@node3IP:~/

Step 3:
Firewall Settings

Step 3-1:
Initial node Firewall settings

1. confirm gateway and tabadmincontroller port number(by default
8850)

tsm topology list-ports | grep -E "tabadmincontroller:primary |
gateway"

2. Check dynamic port range. typical range
is 8000 to 9000.

tsm configuration get -k ports.range.min

  tsm configuration get -k ports.range.max

3. Start firewalld:

  sudo systemctl start firewalld

4. Verify that the default zone is a high-security zone, such
as public.

firewall-cmd --get-default-zone

if change is needed,

sudo firewall-cmd --set-default-zone=public

5. Add ports for the gateway, tabadmincontroller port
and  port range (27000-27010) for  licensing communication between nodes

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=80/tcp

  sudo firewall-cmd --permanent
--add-port=27000-27010/tcp

6. Configure the firewall to allow all traffic from the other nodes
in the cluster.

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family=ipv4
source address=node2IP/32 port port=8000-9000 protocol=tcp accept'

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family=ipv4
source address=node3IP/32 port port=8000-9000 protocol=tcp accept'

7. Reload the firewall and verify the settings.

sudo
firewall-cmd --reload

firewall-cmd
--list-all

Step 3-2:
additional nodes firewall setting

1. Start firewalld:

sudo
systemctl start firewalld

2. Verify that the default zone is a high-security zone, such
as public.

firewall-cmd
--get-default-zone

if change is needed,

sudo firewall-cmd --set-default-zone=public

3. Configure the firewall to
allow gateway and tabadmincontroller access from the other
nodes in the cluster.

on node 2:

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family=ipv4
source address=node1IP/32 port port=80 protocol=tcp accept'

sudo
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family=ipv4 source
address=node1IP/32 port port=8000-9000 protocol=tcp accept'

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family=ipv4
source address=node3IP/32 port port=80 protocol=tcp accept'

sudo
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family=ipv4 source
address=node3IP/32 port port=8000-9000 protocol=tcp accept'

on node 3:

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family=ipv4
source address=node1IP/32 port port=80 protocol=tcp accept'

sudo
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family=ipv4 source
address=node1IP/32 port port=8000-9000 protocol=tcp accept'

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family=ipv4
source address=node2IP/32 port port=80 protocol=tcp accept'

sudo
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family=ipv4 source
address=node2IP/32 port port=8000-9000 protocol=tcp accept'

4. Reload the firewall and verify the settings.

sudo
firewall-cmd --reload

firewall-cmd
--list-all

Step 4:
Install Additional node with bootstrap

sudo yum
install tableau-server-version.x86_64.rpm

Step 5:
run initialize-tsm script

cd
/opt/tableau/tableau_server/packages/scripts.<version_code>/

sudo
./initialize-tsm -b /path/to/<bootstrap>.json --accepteula

Repeat
Step4 and 5 on third node.

Step 6:
Add process to the additional nodes.

On
initial node,

tsm
topology set-process -n node2 -pr clustercontroller -c 1

tsm
topology set-process -n node3 -pr clustercontroller -c 1

tsm
pending-changes apply --ignore-warnings

Step 7:
deploy coordination service

tsm stop

##check
if there is any pending list.

tsm
pending-changes list

tsm
pending-changes discard

or

tsm
pending-changes apply

# check
node name

tsm
topology list-nodes -v

#create
coordination service

tsm
topology deploy-coordination-service -n node1,node2,node3

tsm start

Step 8:
Configure Client File Service(CFS)

On
initial node

tsm
topology set-process -n node2 -pr clientfileservice -c 1

tsm
topology set-process -n node3 -pr clientfileservice -c 1

tsm
pending-changes apply

Step
9:  Configure process for second node

tsm
topology set-process -n node2 -pr gateway -c 1

tsm
topology set-process -n node2 -pr vizqlserver -c 2

tsm
topology set-process -n node2 -pr vizportal -c 2

tsm
topology set-process -n node2 -pr backgrounder -c 2

tsm
topology set-process -n node2 -pr cacheserver -c 2

tsm
topology set-process -n node2 -pr searchserver -c 1

tsm
topology set-process -n node2 -pr dataserver -c 2

tsm
topology set-process -n node2 -pr filestore -c 1

tsm
topology set-process -n node2 -pr pgsql -c 1

tsm
pending-changes apply

Step 10:
Configure process for third node

tsm
topology set-process -n node3 -pr gateway -c 1

tsm
topology set-process -n node3 -pr vizqlserver -c 2

tsm
topology set-process -n node3 -pr vizportal -c 2

tsm
topology set-process -n node3 -pr backgrounder -c 2

tsm
topology set-process -n node3 -pr cacheserver -c 2

tsm
topology set-process -n node3 -pr searchserver -c 1

tsm
topology set-process -n node3 -pr dataserver -c 2

tsm
topology set-process -n node3 -pr filestore -c 1

tsm
pending-changes apply

tsm start
