Creating Clusters

If you've performed the tasks described in "Before You Install" on page 161 and you've
successfully installed ClusterCATS, you're ready to begin creating your server clusters.
This section explains:

Creating clusters with the Cluster Setup Wizard

Creating clusters manually
Creating clusters with the Cluster Setup Wizard
The ClusterCATS Explorer includes a Cluster Setup Wizard that makes creating and
configuring clusters easy. The Wizard walks you through a series of online screens that
let you define and configure required load balancing and high availability features for
your server clusters.
Note
To create a server cluster using the Cluster Setup Wizard:
1. Click Start>Programs>ColdFusion Server 4.5>ClusterCATS for ColdFusion
Explorer.
The ClusterCATS Explorer opens.
While you can create server clusters manually using the ClusterCATS
Explorer menu options, it's easier and quicker to create and configure
them completely using the Cluster Setup Wizard. If you use the Wizard
initially, you can always modify the configuration of your server clusters
at anytime after you have created them. To modify the settings you've
configured using the Wizard, follow the procedures described in
"Configuring Load Balancing & High Availability Features" on page 203.
