1. Re: Profiles and clustering
wdfink May 14, 2014 3:07 AM (in response to pmosca)1 of 1 people found this helpfulProfiles are a domain thing and only for administration, there is no relation to a cluster.
Having the same configuration is easy to install, but consider that it might be more difficult to understand and to maintain as each change affect both server-groups which might be not wanted in every case.
So it is more a organisation decision than a technical one
You might use the same configuration-profile for both.
The only thing is that you have to clearly separate the clusters.
This can be done by setting a property for initial_hosts. use ${xyz.initial_hosts} inside the JGroups config and add a property with this name to the each server-group and set the correct hosts.
consider, it is recommended that initial_hosts include all hosts of a cluster.

2. Re: Profiles and clustering

I believe we will split the configuration to use two profiles, one for each custer. It will also allow to target the datasources to specific servers.
I'm not sure I understood "use ${xyz.initial_hosts} inside the JGroups config and add a property with this name to the each server-group"; I thought JGroups configuration is done at the profile level and would need to have all the servers under that profile, is there a way to define the cluster at the server_group level?
