Add Client to Cache

Cache clients are lightweight modules through which cache applications can connect to hosted cache servers. You can add local or remote client nodes to existing clustered cache(s) in NCache.

In order to get more detailed explanation of cache clients, please see the Cache Client section.

Step 1: Add Cache Client to Cache

Add-ClientNode cmdlet enables the user to add one or more client nodes to existing clustered cache(s).

This command adds a client node 20.200.21.12 to a cache named demoClusteredCache already existing on server node 20.200.20.200.

For more properties of this command you can refer to NCache PowerShell Reference.

Add-ClientNode -CacheName demoClusteredCache -Server 20.200.20.200 -ClientNode 20.200.21.12

Important

If you have more than one IP address on a client machine, enter the IP address on which NCache service is running.

Step 2: Verify Addition of Cache Client

You can quickly run a Stress Test Tool that comes with NCache installation to verify that cache clients can make calls to cache servers. To start this test on the cache you just created, please execute Test-Stress in Windows PowerShell:

Test-Stress -CacheName demoClusteredCache

This command starts making cache calls to the cache servers as Test-Stress simulates transactional load on the specified cache. You can monitor the cache performance using PerfMon counters.
