Before you can create or start a cluster, you must create a node agent or a node agent placeholder. See To Create a Node Agent Placeholder.
The New Cluster page appears.
The name must:
Consist only of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, underscores, hyphens, and periods (.)
Be unique across all node agent names, server instance names, cluster names, and configuration names
Not be domain
Leave the radio button labeled “Make a copy of the selected Configuration” selected. The copy of the configuration will have the name cluster_name-config. The new configuration inherits the configuration information of the copied configuration.
Select the radio button labeled “Reference the selected Configuration” to create a cluster that uses the specified existing shared configuration.
You can also add server instances after the cluster is created.
Before you create server instances for the cluster, first create one or more node agents or node agent placeholders. See To Create a Node Agent Placeholder.
For each server instance that you are adding, perform these steps:
Note - You can set the load balancing policy in the Edit Load Balancer Health Checker page. For more information, see To Configure Load Balancer Health Checking.
In the Weight field, type an integer that represents the weight of the instance.
For example, if you have two instances, and want one instance to process one request out of every four, and the other instance to process three requests out of four, set the weights to 1 and 3, or 25 and 75, if you prefer to use percentages.
The default weight is 100.
