JBoss nodes not joining tcp standalone cluster

[meetpraveenkumar]

Hi,

I am trying to setup a Standalone, TCP cluster.

I am not able to see the two nodes join the cluster.

The process snapshots are as below:

Request your assistance with this.

Thank You.

Hi,

I was able to fix the problem by changing the bind address. Now I can see both nodes in the cluster.

I am having some errors with HornetQ and modcluster. Again, seems like something related to the bind address.

Will look further into it.

Thank you.

Let us know If you face any issue related to TCP standalone clustering

[meetpraveenkumar]

Hi Arnav, Thanks for the note. I resolved the HornetQ issue by following the instructions from the below link:

19.4.4. Switch UDP to TCP for HornetQ Clustering

I am still evaluating if we need the functionality of modcluster for the application that we want to deploy (Informatica MDM).

Will pursue modcluster setup if it turns out that it is required.

One lame question. When I setup TCP based Standalone cluster between two nodes, will there be two management URLs one for each node.

I see that in Weblogic, its a single url and the cluster is visible under it.

Please advise if its usual to have two independant Management URLs for two nodes in JBoss Standalone Cluster.

Thank You.

Hi Praveen,

You have 2 different Standalone servers running on different IP's and ports , yes there will be 2 management URL's for these 2 standalone servers however when you deploy a clustered application on both servers then a cluster will be formed between these two servers.

If you have multiple servers then you can define a Domain controller using the Domain mode functionality of JBoss and can control all servers from domain.

Let me know if you have any other queries.

Thank you soo much Arnav for the swift and clear response. Much appreciated.
