To define a new proxy server cluster, click New to start the Create a new proxy server cluster wizard.

Name

Logical name for the proxy cluster. The name must be unique among proxy clusters within the containing cell.

Supported Protocols

Protocol or protocols that the proxy server is configured to handle.
This information is based on the types of transport channels that are included in the transport chains that are configured for the proxy server. For example, if a transport chain includes an HTTP channel, HTTP displays in this field. If a transport chain includes both a SIP and an HTTP channel, SIP,HTTP displays in this field.

Status

This field indicates whether the proxy cluster is partially started, started, partially stopped, stopped, or unavailable. If the status is unavailable, the node agent is not running in that node and restart the node agent before we can start the proxy server.
After you click Start or Ripplestart to start a proxy cluster, each server that is a member of that proxy cluster launches if it is not already running. When the first member launches, the status changes to partially started. The status remains partially started until all proxy cluster members are running. When all proxy cluster members are running, the state changes to running and the status changes to started. Similarly, when you click Stop or ImmediateStop to stop a proxy cluster, the status changes to partially stopped when the first member stops, then changes to stopped when all proxy cluster members are not running.
Table 1. Status settings of the proxy server cluster

Started All of the proxy cluster members are running.

Partially started At least one of the proxy cluster members is running.

Stopped All of the proxy cluster members have stopped running.

Partially stopped At least one of the proxy cluster members has stopped running.

Unavailable Status cannot be determined.
All of the members of a proxy cluster with an unavailable status might, in fact, be running but the proxy cluster has an unavailable status because the proxy server that is running the admin console cannot communicate with all of the proxy cluster members. The node agent should be started on all proxy nodes to ensure that the correct status is shown.
