Dynamic clusters

Navigate to help topics within this section.

• Dynamic cluster collection
  Use this page to view your existing dynamic clusters. The members of the dynamic clusters, or server instances, reside on a node within a node group. The dynamic clusters, as well as the associated node groups, are used to perform application placement when the environment is running in automatic mode.
• Dynamic cluster custom properties
  Use this page to create or delete custom properties. For custom properties to function properly, the name and value pairs must be relevant. Custom properties set internal system configuration properties, so setting custom properties requires significant product knowledge.
• Dynamic cluster member collection
  Use this page to view, start, and stop dynamic cluster members.
• Dynamic cluster member settings
  Use this page to manage the members of a dynamic cluster.
• Dynamic cluster settings
  Use this page to view configurations of existing dynamic clusters.
• Membership policy builder
  Use the membership policy subexpression builder to create an expression that defines the members of your dynamic cluster. Use the build subexpression utility to build complex rule conditions from subexpressions by using AND, OR, NOT and parenthetical grouping. The rule builder validates the rule when you apply the changes, and alerts you to mismatched parentheses and unsupported logic operators.
• Step 1: Select the dynamic cluster server type
  Use this step to specify the server type and name for your new dynamic cluster.
• Step 2: Select a membership method
  The membership method defines how cluster instances are added to the dynamic cluster. You can create a membership policy to automatically place cluster instances on certain nodes, or you can manually add cluster instances to the dynamic cluster.
• Step 3: Define the dynamic cluster members
  You can define dynamic cluster members when you are creating a dynamic cluster, or you can add dynamic cluster members to an existing dynamic cluster.
• Step 4: Select a server template
  Select a server template on which to model the servers for the new dynamic cluster. You can select a default template, or map an existing server.
• Step 5: Configure the dynamic cluster properties
  Define properties for the dynamic cluster.
• Step 6: Summary
  Use this administrative console page to view and save settings when you create a dynamic cluster or add dynamic cluster members. This summary page displays your configuration changes before you commit the changes and the new dynamic cluster is created or dynamic cluster members are added.
