Adding nodes to a cluster


	Important The nodes in a cluster must be homogeneous; each node must be on the same hardware platform, each must be on the same operating system version, and Content Gateway must be installed in the same directory (/opt/WCG).

Restart Content Gateway (/opt/WCG/WCGAdmin restart).

In the Content Gateway manager, go to the Configure > My Proxy > Basic > General tab and set Proxy Name to the name of the cluster.

Select the Clustering tab.

Set Interface to the interface used by the cluster. All members must use the same interface.

Set the Multicast Group Address to the address being used by the cluster.

In the Type area, select Management Clustering.

Go back to the General tab and click Restart.


Variable	Description
proxy.local.cluster.type	Specify the clustering mode: 2 = management mode 3 = no clustering
proxy.config.proxy_name	Specify the name of the Content Gateway cluster. All nodes in a cluster must use the same name.
proxy.config.cluster.mc_group_addr	Specify the multicast address for cluster communications. All nodes in a cluster must use the same multicast address.
proxy.config.cluster.rsport	Specify the reliable service port. The reliable service port is used to send data between the nodes in the cluster. All nodes in a cluster must use the same reliable service port. The default value is 8087.
proxy.config.cluster.mcport	Specify the multicast port. The multicast port is used for node identification. All nodes in a cluster must use the same multicast port. The default port is 8088.
proxy.config.cluster.ethernet_interface	Specify the network interface for cluster traffic. All nodes in a cluster must use the same network interface.

Restart Content Gateway (/opt/WCG/WCGAdmin restart).
