Create a proxy cluster: Create first proxy cluster member


To specify settings for the first proxy cluster member.

There are two ways to create the first member of a proxy cluster:

By creating the first proxy cluster member, a copy of that member is stored as part of the proxy cluster data and becomes the template for all additional proxy cluster members created.

When adding servers to a proxy cluster, note that we can either remove a proxy server from a proxy cluster by deleting the proxy server from the list of proxy cluster members, or by deleting the server from the Proxy Servers collection.

Member name

Name of the proxy server that is created for the proxy cluster.

The member name must be unique on the selected node.

Select node

Node on which the proxy server resides.

Generate unique HTTP ports

A unique HTTP port is generated for the proxy server. By generating unique HTTP ports for the proxy server, you avoid potential port collisions and configurations that are not valid.

Select basis for first proxy cluster member:

Basis you want to use for the first proxy cluster member.

  • If we select Create the member using a proxy server template, the settings for the new proxy server are identical to the settings of the proxy server template you select from the list of available templates.

  • If we select Create the member using an existing proxy server as a template, the settings for the new proxy server are identical to the settings of the proxy server you select from the list of existing proxy servers.

  • If we select Create the member by converting an existing proxy server, the proxy server you select from the list of available proxy servers becomes a member of this proxy cluster.

  • If we select None. Create an empty proxy cluster , a new proxy cluster is created but it does not contain any proxy cluster members.

The basis options are available only for the first proxy cluster member. All other members of a proxy cluster are based on the proxy cluster member template, which is created from the first proxy cluster member.
