Start infinispan server on different physical machines

[hongyuy123]

I am able to run  Infinispan hotrod  server on the same machine (say machine A) with multiple nodes, all of those are joining the same cluster successfully. But if I start server on the different server (say machine B) within the same network,  it seems to start new cluster without joining the existing cluster.  I tried both jgroups-udp.xml and jgroups-tcp.xml configuration.

I would appreciate that you have some clues.

My start option: bin/startServer1.sh  -r hotrod -p 12333 -l 3.39.73.203 -c  /projects/infinispan-5.2.0.Alpha3-all/etc/config-samples/cluster.xml

bin/startServer2.sh -r hotrod -p 12333 -l 3.39.73.204 -c /projects/infinispan-5.2.0.Alpha3-all/etc/config-samples/cluster.xml

My startServer1.sh:

add_jvm_args '-Djgroups.tcp.address=3.39.73.203'

My startServer2.sh:

add_jvm_args '-Djgroups.tcp.address=3.39.73.204'

Here is the sample configuration cluster.xml, 

<transport

            clusterName="my-infinispan-cluster"

            machineId="m3"

            rackId="r1" nodeName="Node-C">

         <!-- Use the property below to point to a specific JGroups configuration file on your classpath -->

         <properties>

            <property name="configurationFile" value="/projects/infinispan-5.2.0.Alpha3-all/etc/config-samples/jgroups-tcp.xml" />

         </properties>

      </transport>

Finally I found the problem is due to our network issues which cannot support Multicast.

For now, I have to use TCPPING to hardcode the static list of IPs and Ports in scripts jgroups.tcpping.initial_hosts:3.39.73.204[7800],3.39.73.204[7801].  I am able to build cluster among different servers.

Hi there, use jgroups-udp.xml or enable multicast for jgroups-tcp in jboss admin console, see image above where jgroups udp comes with mcast:

i hope it helps someone
