6.6.2.2 Creating Scalable Cluster Applications

This section explains how to register scalable cluster applications to RMS by using the "userApplication Configuration Wizard."

The flow of the procedure for registering a scalable cluster application is shown below:

[Flow of Scalable cluster application registration]

Preparing standby cluster applications

The scalable cluster application performs scalable operation by interconnecting multiple standby cluster applications. Before creating a scalable cluster application, you have to create the standby cluster applications that constitute the components of the scalable cluster application.

[Preparing Standby cluster applications ]

For details on how to create Standby cluster applications, see "Creating Standby Cluster Applications."

Starting up Create Cluster Applications

Specify Create userApplication from the top menu of "userApplication Configuration Wizard."

[userApplication Configuration Wizard top menu]

Click Next to go to the "Set up userApplication name and operation method" screen.

Setting userApplication name and the topology

Set up userApplication name and the topology.

[Setting up userApplication name and the operation method]

userApplication name

Specify a name for the cluster application that you want to set up.

Specify an input character string

Specify the input character string with up to 18 characters with an alphabetic letter and consisting of only alphanumeric characters and "_" (underscore).

Operation method

Select Scalable.

After you have made all the necessary settings, click Next to go to the "Set up attribute" screen.

Setting the attributes of the cluster application

Set up the attributes of the cluster application as described below:

• Set up automatic start of the scalable cluster application when the cluster starts up.

  Set up "AutoStartUp" to "Yes."

  For details on this attribute, see "Attributes."

[Set up attributes]

After you have made this setting, click Next to go to the "Select userApplication" screen.

Select userApplication

Select a cluster application for which scalable operation is to be performed.

[Selecting userApplication]

Available userApplication

Indicates a standby cluster application that can be used.

Selected userApplication

Indicates the cluster application that is being used for scalable operation.

Select a cluster application for scalable operation from Available userApplication, and then click Add. If you want to add all the cluster applications, click Add all. To delete a cluster application from scalable operation, select the cluster application to be deleted from [Selected userApplication] and then click Remove. To delete all the cluster applications, click Remove all.

After you have made these settings, click Next and then go to the "Set up startup priority of userApplication" screen.

Setting up startup priority of userApplication

Set up the startup order of the cluster applications.

[Selecting userApplication]

userApplication name

Cluster applications for scalable operation.

Startup priority

Set up a startup priority for the cluster applications. Cluster applications start up in order, starting from the smallest priority number. Conversely, cluster applications stop in order, starting from the greatest startup number. Cluster applications with the same startup priority start or stop in parallel.

After you have made these settings, click Next to go to the "Set up attribute" screen.

Confirming cluster application registration information

Confirm the registration information of the cluster application.

[Confirm registration]

SubApplication button

This button is always disabled.

After you have confirmed the registration information, click Registration.
