Adding Server Node in Cache

A Server Node can be added in cluster any time. After adding a server node in a cluster, you need to start that node so that it can join the cluster.

Using NCache Manager

• Right click on a cache name in Cache Explorer and select Add Server Node option.

• Add Node Wizard will open. Specify the server IP which you want to add in text box and click Finish.

• Added node will appear in Server Nodes list under this cache name.

Note

You might get prompted with a dialog box upon these changes, asking weather to reload or overwrite the cache config file. For more detail maintaining data integrity, refer to this chapter.

Using Windows PowerShell

Add-Node cmdlet enables the users to add a new server node to the existing Clustered cache on specified server.

This command adds a new server node '20.200.21.107' to a cache named demolusteredCache on existing server '20.200.20.38'.

Add-Node demoClusteredCache -ExistingServer 20.200.20.38 -NewServer 20.200.21.107

This command adds a new node 20.200.20.107 to the cache named demoClusteredCache existing on server node 20.200.20.38 which already exists using the port number 8251 since it is not using the default port.

Add-Node demoClusteredCache -ExistingServer 20.200.20.38 -NewServer 20.200.21.107
-Port 8251
