Configuring two domains within one DataPower API Gateway.

  • 1.  Configuring two domains within one DataPower API Gateway.

    Posted Thu June 29, 2023 09:36 AM

    Hello experts,

    I am new to API Connect and looking for a way to meet the requirements. I am trying to configure a API Gateway cluster with two DataPower VMs according to the white paper IBM APIConnect v10.x - WhitePaper - v1.5.1.pdf .

    Q1 : I saw that all the same gateway peering configuration should have same local and monitor ports in the DataPower document. But the whitepaper tells that is possible. What is that I don't know and how to configure two gateway clustered in one DP VM? 

    P.47~48

    The best option for establishing quorum for a two DataPower device configuration is the following:
    1) DataPower 1 with tenant or domain 1.a and 1.b
    2) DataPower 2 with tenant or domain 2.a 

    Q2 : If two API Gateways that are not clustered are registered in the Cloud Manager and use the external token store (not oauth provider), would there be any problem?

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Self-answer for Q1.

    It was possible to configure 3 peering quorum with 2 VMs by adding a Network Interface to the first DataPower. Token issuance and verification tests were performed successfully, and it was confirmed that only the first VM(2 domains) operates normally.

    Is there anyone who has experience or opinion on the Q2 ?
