Setting Up a Cluster

Your license determines whether or not clustering is enabled and how many nodes are supported. To check on the number of clustered servers your license allows, see the license information after logging into the application administration tool.

Note: Before enabling clustering, you should set the system time on each cluster member to match other cluster member's settings as closely as possible, or (preferred) set the cluster members to sync to a centralized time server.

Next, navigate to System > Settings > Caches. Toggle Clustering to Enabled and then Save settings (note that the Clustering option will only be displayed if your license allows it). The server will automatically discover and join the cluster. You'll then see additional options in the cache panel to monitor cluster activity.

Note: When enabling clustering on the first clustered node, there will be a 30-second delay when it starts. This is a necessary component of the clustering protocol.
