Starting a Cluster

Start clusters from the command line or with Studio.

1. From the command line for Windows systems, execute:

   cd %ESP_HOME%\cluster\nodes\node1
   %ESP_HOME%\bin\esp_server.exe --cluster-node node1.xml

   And for Linux and Solaris systems, execute:

   cd $ESP_HOME/cluster/nodes/node1
   $ESP_HOME/bin/esp_server --cluster-node node1.xml

   Note: The directory from which a node is started becomes the working directory for the node. The node looks for the cluster.log.properties file in the working directory.
2. Retrieve and start workspaces and projects:
   esp_cluster_admin --uri=esps://<host>:<port> --username=<user> --password=<pass>
   Provide the cluster URI and your credentials to complete the command and begin working with cluster administration commands.

   Note: The URI protocol esps indicates that the cluster is SSL-enabled. URIs for clusters that are not SSL-enabled use the protocol esp.

• Connecting to a Server from ESP Studio
  Studio provides a graphic interface for connecting to and starting a server, also known as a cluster manager.
