the parent server in the server cluster.
cluster delete child
Deletes or removes a child from a server cluster. This command must
be executed on the parent server in the server cluster.
cluster show status
Displays the status of a server cluster. Using this command you can
check whether a server is in a cluster and/or the status of a server in a
cluster. This command can be executed on any server regardless of
whether it is in a server cluster or not.
Set up Server Cluster
Before setting up a server cluster, the parent or child servers can be in a standalone mode or in an HA
pair configuration with other servers. Once a server cluster is set up, the HA mode can be enabled on the
parent or child servers as and when required.
The cluster set command is used to set up a cluster. This command must be executed on the
command line interface of the server that you want to assign as the parent server in the server cluster.
You can, optionally, choose to run the server cluster setup wizard to add child servers to the server
cluster.
You can check the status of the server by executing the cluster show status command.
To set up a cluster, do the following.
1.
Login to the server command line interface of the server that you want to set up as the parent server
in a server cluster. Login to the server with 'config' user credentials.
2.
Execute the command cluster set on the command line. The server is set as the parent server in
the server cluster.
3.
If you want to add child servers right away, enter ‘y’ when prompted to add child servers. Enter the
name for the child server, IP address of the child server and password for the config user of the child
server, to add a child server. Repeat this step to add more child servers.
Note: If a parent server or child server is in HA mode, the active server is added to the server cluster. The
standby HA server cannot be added to the server cluster. Before setting up a server cluster, a parent
server or a child server can be in standalone mode or in HA pair configuration with other servers. Once
the server cluster is set up, HA mode can be enabled at a later point on the parent server or child server,
if required.
Refer to the screenshot below for the cluster set command.
