Clusters

As an organization grows, Unwired Platform administrators need to create a scalable IT infrastructure using clusters. Clustering creates redundant Unwired Platform components on your network to provide a highly scalable and available system architecture.

Organizations can seamlessly achieve high availability and scalability by adding more or redundant instances of core components. Redundant instances of critical components provide transparent failover.

In a production environment, the Unwired Platform deployment typically uses at least one relay server. The connections to relay servers can be configured within a cluster instance from Sybase Control Center.

• Cluster-Affecting Configuration Changes
  Before you configure Unwired Servers in a cluster, ensure you understand how changes are synchronized to cluster members.
• Copying and Pasting Properties
  Values displayed in property tables in Sybase Control Center can be copied and pasted.
• Configuring General Cluster Properties
  Configure properties of a cluster to control whether or not a shared data folder is used, or whether asynchronous operation replays are enabled for all cluster packages.
• Viewing Cluster Information
  View cluster information to determine the name and size of the cluster.
• Checking System Licensing Information
  Review licensing information to monitor available and used device licenses, license expiry dates, and other license details. This information allows administrators to manage license use and determine whether old or unused device licenses should be transferred to new devices.
• Checking Cluster Status
  Verify that a cluster is running.
