Cluster Server Administration

---

If you expect to have many concurrent users of your Siebel Distance Learning system, you may want to cluster two or more servers together to balance the load. In each server cluster, one server is designated as the cluster server and the other servers are known as remote servers. For each clustered server, you need to enter the cluster server's IP address and port number along with a remote server's IP address and port number.

To define IP addresses for clustered Distance Learning servers

Navigate to the Server Administration screen.
Click the Cluster Server Administration hyperlink.

The Cluster Server Administration page appears.

Select one of the servers to be clustered with, and enter the IP address and port number for the server.

For example, there are two servers, Server A and Server B. On Server A, enter Server B's IP address and port number. On Server B, enter Server A's IP address and port number.

Then, in order to cluster Server C, on Server C, simply enter either Server A or Server B's IP address and port number. The servers will intelligently detect that now Servers A, B, and C are clustered together.

Click Save.
Repeat this procedure on each server in the cluster.

NOTE:  You will need to restart the Distance Learning services to activate the cluster services.
