4Click OK
Your cluster appears below the Cluster Manager icon in the ClusterCATS Explorer
left pane. To manually add additional cluster members to your new cluster, see to
“Adding Cluster Members” on page 264.
Field Description
Cluster Name Enter a unique name for the cluster.
Make your cluster names logically consistent with their
purpose. For example,
Sales Web, Customer Support Web,
and so on.
License Key Enter GoColdFusion. This field is case-sensitive, so be sure
to enter the key exactly as shown.
Web Server Name Enter the fully qualified host name (for example,
doc.allaire.com) for the first server you want to be a
member of this cluster.
You cannot create an empty cluster; you must specify a Web
server that will be part of the cluster. If this is the first server
that you have added to the cluster, it is known as the Admin
Manager. The remaining steps guide you in configuring the
Admin Manager.
Bring Up in Passive
Mode
Select this checkbox to bring the Admin Manager up in
Passive mode. If you do not select this checkbox, the server
will be brought up in Active mode.
For more information on passive/active modes, refer to
“Changing Active/Passive Settings” on page 309.
ClusterCATS
Maintenance
Support
Select the ClusterCATS Maintenance Support check box to
enable support for offline maintenance.. The Admin Manager
must be configured with a maintenance IP address.
Using maintenance support requires that your cluster
support ClusterCATS dynamic IP addressing. For more
information, refer to “ClusterCATS Dynamic IP Addressing
(Windows only)” on page 334.
Offline maintenance support is only available on Windows
NT server clusters. You can only set the maintenance
support option when creating a cluster or adding a cluster
member to a cluster. You cannot configure or modify this
option after you have created and added the cluster member
to the cluster.
Maintenance
Address
Enter the fully qualified host name of the maintenance
address (for example,
serv1.yourcompany.com). This field
is only accessible if you selected ClusterCATS Maintenance
Support.
