Configure a dynamic cluster with homogeneous nodes to support vertical stacking
You can configure vertical stacking for a dynamic cluster with nodes that have similar computing power by updating settings in the administrative console.
Before you begin
- Determine the stacking number for your dynamic cluster. See Determining the stacking number for a dynamic cluster for more information. If you determine that your application does not have an internal bottleneck when you perform application profiling, do not enable vertical stacking.
About this task
You can enable vertical stacking when you create the dynamic cluster, or you can modify the settings on an existing dynamic cluster to enable vertical stacking. Perform the following steps to modify the settings on an existing dynamic cluster.
Procedure
- In the administrative console, click Servers > Dynamic clusters >dynamic_cluster_name.
- To enable vertical stacking, click Allow more than one instance to start on the same node.
- Enter the number of instances to start on the same node. This value is the stacking number that you calculated.
What to do next
Tune and monitor your application placement configuration.
