Adding Servers to a Fluid Cache Cluster

To add servers to a Fluid Cache cluster:

1. Log in to Enterprise Manager as a user with Administrator or Volume Manager privileges.

2. In the Storage view, expand Fluid Cache Clusters if necessary.

3. Right-click the Fluid Cache cluster (not Fluid Cache Clusters itself) and click Tasks → Add Servers to

Cluster.

The Add Servers to Cluster dialog box is displayed. By default, all servers are selected that have Fluid

Cache installed.

4. Clear the check boxes next to unwanted servers or select the Unselect All option, and then select

the servers to be added. (To use all available servers again, select the Select All option.)

5. Click OK.

The system processes for some time, and then the server appears inside Fluid Cache Clusters in the

Storage tab.

The Add Devices to Cluster dialog box is displayed. By default, all devices compatible with Fluid

Cache are selected.

6. Clear the option next to unwanted cache devices or click the Unselect All option, and then select the

cache devices to be added. (Select the

Select All option to use all available cache devices again.)

CAUTION: Any existing data on a cache device is lost when the device is added to the Fluid

Cache cluster. Back up this data before proceeding.

7. Click OK.

The device now appears in the list in the Devices section.

If you have a shared data application such as a cluster file system or clustered application, you may want

to add the server to a server cluster (a “subcluster”) inside the Fluid Cache cluster. See Mapping Volumes.

To create a subcluster, refer to the

Enterprise Manager Administrator’s Guide.
