Manage a proxy server cluster

We can manage a proxy server cluster using either the admin console or wsadmin.

Use either the admin console or wsadmin to manage a proxy server cluster. To use the admin console to manage the proxy server clusters, in the admin console ...

Servers > Clusters > Proxy server clusters. we have the following options: New, Delete, Start, Stop, Ripplestart, and ImmediateStop.

 

• To start one or more proxy server clusters, select the proxy server clusters and click either Start or RippleStart.

  • Start launches the server process of each member of the cluster by calling the node agent for each server to start the servers. After all servers are running, the state of the cluster changes to running. If the call to a node agent for a server fails, the server does not start.

  • RippleStart combines stopping and starting operations. It first stops and then restarts each member of the cluster. For example, the cluster contains 3 cluster members named server_1, server_2 and server_3. When you click RippleStart, server_1 stops and restarts, then server_2 stops and restarts, and finally server_3 stops and restarts. Use the RippleStart option instead of manually stopping and then starting all of the application servers in the cluster.

• To stop one or more proxy server clusters, select the proxy server clusters and click either Stop or ImmediateStop.

  • Stop halts each server in a manner that allows the server to finish existing requests and allows failover to another member of the cluster. When the stop operation begins, the cluster state changes to partially stopped. After all servers stop, the cluster state becomes stopped.

  • ImmediateStop stops the server quickly without regard to existing requests. The server ignores any current or pending tasks. When the stop operation begins, the cluster state changes to partially stopped. After all servers stop, the cluster state becomes stopped.

• To change the settings, click the name of the proxy server cluster to access the Configuration tab.

• To create a new proxy server cluster, click New . Type the name for the cluster in the Cluster name field.

• To delete an existing proxy server cluster, click Delete and then click OK .

• To add new members to a proxy server cluster, click the name of an existing proxy server cluster, and click Cluster members > New. Type the name for the proxy server in the Member name field.
