Create a Local/Clustered Cache

NCache Professional edition allows you to create the following caches:

Local Cache (meaning a standalone cache)
Partitioned Cache
Replicated Cache

For other caching topologies, please download and use NCache Enterprise. See more details on edition comparison between NCache Professional and Enterprise.

We'll create a Partitioned Cache here.

Pre-requisite

Make sure NCache Service is started. If it is not started, type the following command in PowerShell:

> sudo systemctl start ncached

Create New Cache

New-Cache PowerShell cmdlet enables the user to create a new cache on one or more server nodes. In PowerShell, execute the following command to create a new partitioned cache named demoClusteredCache on server 20.200.20.200, with default configurations.

Warning

Cache with the specified name should not exist on the server; otherwise you get an error message that this cache already exists on this server.

New-Cache -Name demoClusteredCache -Server 20.200.20.200 -Size 1024 –Topology Partitioned

Start Cache

To start the cache, please type the following command in PowerShell:

Start-Cache –Name demoClusteredCache

Successful cache start will be prompted on the screen.

Verify Successful Cache Creation

To verify that you’ve created the cache successfully, please type the following command in PowerShell:

Get-Caches -Detail
