Scaling up the ASE cluster

Scale up the ASE cluster by adding nodes to an active cluster without disrupting traffic.

About this task

To add a new cluster node:

Steps

  1. Enter the peer_node IP address or hostname in the cluster.conf file of the ASE node.

  2. Start the ASE node.

    For more information, see Start the ASE node.

    Example:

    If the IP of the first node is 192.168.20.121 with port 8020, then the peer_node parameter would be 192.168.20.121:8020.

    ; ASE cluster configuration. These configurations apply only when
; you have enabled cluster in the api_config file.
; Unique cluster ID for each cluster. All the nodes in the same cluster
; should have the same cluster ID.
cluster_id=ase_cluster
; Cluster management port.
cluster_manager_port=8020
; Cluster's active nodes. This can be a comma separated list of nodes in
; ipv4_address:cluster_manager_port format.
peer_node=192.168.20.121:8020

    Result:

    The new node will synchronize configuration and cookie data from the peer nodes. After loading, it will become part of the cluster.
