Clustering

In CMC the cluster tab is inactivated. Does it mean that there is no clustering done?

Thanks,

Cluster tab? What cluster tab? What version?
Sorry I’m so confused… don’t remember a cluster tab…

Bo enterprise Xi …
Click settings> you will see cluster tab along with other tabs like metrics, properties, limits and rights.

Ah, yes.
Sorry, I was looking at CMS Properties. Doh!

Yes, no Cluster tab means you do not have a cluster. Else the tab would show the servers comprising your cluster.

if it is…as shown below
CMS Name: prod05.cms (PROD05.xxx.yyy.com)
Cluster Name: @PROD05.xxx.yyy.com
Cluster Members: prod05.cms (PROD05.xxx.yyy.com)

and the production server is prod05. Does it mean clustering is done???

What i thought was there is no clustering done since the server names are same…I’m confused…

Thanks,

A cluster is simply a collection of servers (1 or more). You can always have a cluster of one server, and you can correctly refer to your single-server installation as a cluster. If you expand your cluster and add more CMS servers, then you can login to it by calling the cluster name (in your case “@PROD05”) instead of the individual server names.

Thank you…

Will the first CMC installed list as a cluster by default?


TinkerBell (BOB member since 2008-12-18)

Yes, by default the first CMS installed will list as the first (and only for single-server clusters) member of the cluster.
