IBM Datapower

To create a cluster of hosts for each API Connect subsystem, use apicup to create a subsystem with all the required parameters, and to add as many hosts as needed to the configuration file. The configuration file is a .yml file in the project directory.

For each host of a subsystem added in the .yml file, a separate ISO file is created for the cluster member VM. Note that the ISO files for each VM must stay attached during the whole lifetime of the VM.

In an API Connect cluster in a VMware environment, the first three nodes are master nodes. Additional nodes are worker nodes.

IBM® DataPower Gateway is a single multichannel gateway that helps provide security, control, integration, and optimized access to a full range of mobile, web, application programming interface (API), service-oriented architecture (SOA), B2B, and cloud workloads.

IBM DataPower Gateway is available in the physical, virtual, cloud, Linux, and Docker form factors.

The DataPower Gateway provides the following approaches to manage its configuration.

• Import and export
• Secure backup and restore
• Saving files as source and using include configuration files with customization scripts

Secure backup and restore is available on physical appliances, DataPower Gateway for Linux, and DataPower Gateway for VMware but only when it is enabled. Secure backup is especially useful on physical appliances because it provides a way to clone an appliance. On other platforms, you can use the platform tools that provide the same function.

• For DataPower Gateway for VMware, hypervisor tools are well suited to this task.
• For DataPower Gateway for Linux, you can manage configuration by backing up and restoring DataPower files.
• For DataPower Gateway for Docker, secure backup and restore is unavailable because it runs contrary to Docker-friendly SDLC.
