Content Platform Engine, Version 5.2.1       Application server:  JBOSS Application Server     

Configuring JBoss Application Server clusters

JBoss Application Server servers can be grouped together into a cluster for performance or to provide high availability. This guide provides only minimal instructions for setting up a JBoss Application Server cluster.

Because JBoss Application Server clusters do not have an administrative server, you will choose a single JBoss Application Server on which to install and configure the first instance of Content Platform Engine, then copy the necessary files to the rest of the nodes in the cluster.

High availability clustered server environments

In a highly available JBoss cluster environment Application Engine and Content Platform Engine must reside in separate JBoss clusters. Unless given a unique name, all JBoss nodes will be part of the cluster "Default."

Start of changeTo effectively run load balancing tasks, all instances of the Content Platform Engine must reside in a single JBoss cluster. EJB load balancing cannot span multiple JBoss clusters. End of change

For each Application Engine node, uniquely name the cluster something other than default.

Update the JBoss startup file on both Application Engine cluster nodes from:
JBOSSSH=${JBOSSSH:-"$JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.sh -c $JBOSS_CONF -b $JBOSS_HOST"}
to
JBOSSSH=${JBOSSSH:-"$JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.sh -c $JBOSS_CONF -b $JBOSS_HOST"} 
-Djboss.partition.name=JBossP8AE
