Jira with Load Balancer in 2 Server

Question

We are planning to have JIRA Software installed on 2 Application Servers with Load Balancer and single Oracle DB. Is there a set of configuration that can be done to implement the set up without using JIRA Data Center? Any recommendations?

Thanks a lot for the confirmation and detailed options available.

I would, but Atlassian have removed the documentation, replacing it with "how to do it with Data Centre" instead.

The basic principles to start you off though:

* Replicate the database in a master(rw)/slave(read only) config to standby server
* Synchronise the attachments from production to standby server (do NOT sync everything - plain Jira does not work with replicating file systems)
* Make sure standby server has the exact same installation of Jira that production does, but configured to point at the standby database
* Keep the standby Jira off until there's a need to fail over

When you fail over

* Break replication and synchronisation
* Swap standby slave database into master/read-write mode
* Start Jira
* Tell your network to direct traffic to the standby instead of production
