The default configuration for the Data Center Edition comprises five servers, a load balancer, and a database server: |

- 2 application nodes responsible for handling web requests from users (WebServer process) and handling analysis reports (ComputeEngine process) |
|
|
|
- 3 search nodes that host Elasticsearch process that will store indices of data. For performance reasons, SSD are significantly better than HDD for these nodes |
|
|
|
- PostgreSQL, Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server database server. This software must be supplied by the installing organization |

You need a minimum of five servers (two application nodes and three search nodes) to form a SonarQube application cluster. You can add application nodes to increase computing capabilities. Servers can be virtual machines; it is not necessary to use physical machines. |

|
|
|
The operating system requirements for servers are available on the [Requirements](/requirements/requirements/) page. All application nodes should be identical in terms of hardware and software. Similarly, all search nodes should be identical to each other. But application and search nodes can differ. Generally, search nodes are configured with more CPU and RAM than application nodes. |

|
|

- Ability to balance HTTP requests (load) between the two application nodes configured in the SonarQube cluster |

## Sample Installation Process |

The following is an example of the SonarQube cluster installation process. You need to tailor these steps to the specifics of the target installation environment and the operational requirements of the hosting organization. |

|
|
**Prepare the cluster environment:** |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Prepare the cluster environment by setting up the network, provisioning nodes and load balancer. |
|
|
|
2. Follow the [Installing the Server](/setup/install-server/) documentation to configure the database server |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Prepare a personalized SonarQube package:** |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. On a single application node of the cluster, download and install SonarQube Data Center Edition, following the usual [Installing the Server](/setup/install-server/) documentation. |
|
|
|
2. Add cluster-related parameters to `$SONARQUBE_HOME/conf/sonar.properties` |
|
|
|
3. As the Marketplace is not available in SonarQube Data Center Edition, this is a good opportunity to install additional plugins. Download and place a copy of each plugin JAR in `$SONARQUBE_HOME/extensions/plugins`. Be sure to check compatibility with your SonarQube version using the [Plugin Version Matrix](https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/PLUG/Plugin+Version+Matrix) |
|
|
|
4. Zip the directory `$SONARQUBE_HOME`. This archive is a customized SonarQube Data Center Edition package that can be copied to other nodes |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Test configuration on a single node:** |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. On the application node where you created your Zip package, comment out all cluster-related parameters in `$SONARQUBE_HOME/conf/sonar.properties` |
|
|
|
2. Configure the load balancer to proxy with single application node |
|
|
|
3. Start server and test access through load balancer |
|
|
|
4. Request license from SonarSource Sales Team |

3. Start server and test access through load balancer. |

4. Request license from SonarSource Sales Team. |
|
|
|
5. After applying license, you will have a full-featured SonarQube system operating on a single node. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Deploy SonarQube package on other nodes:** |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Unzip SonarQube package on the other four nodes |
|
|
|
2. Configure node-specific parameters on all five nodes in `$SONARQUBE_HOME/conf/sonar.properties` and ensure application node-specific and search node-specific parameters are properly set |
|
|
|
3. Start all search nodes |
|
|
|
4. After all search nodes are running, start all application nodes |
|
|
|
5. Configure the load balancer to proxy with both application nodes |
|
|
|
1. Unzip SonarQube package on the other four nodes. |
|
