Procedure to add a node by editing variable values

You can also add a node by editing variable values in the record.config file of the node to be added.

Steps

  1. On the node you want to add to the cluster, open the records.config file located in /opt/WCG/config.
  2. Edit the following variables:
    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.
  3. Save and close the file.
  4. Restart Content Gateway (/opt/WCG/WCGAdmin restart).
