Configuring a dynamic cluster with homogeneous nodes to support vertical stacking
You can configure vertical stacking for a dynamic cluster with nodes that have similar computing power by updating settings in the administrative console.
Before you begin
- Determine the stacking number for your dynamic cluster. For more information, read about this task. If you determine that your application does not have an internal bottleneck when you perform application profiling, do not enable vertical stacking.

About this task
Procedure
- In the administrative console, click .
- To enable vertical stacking, click Allow more than one instance to start on the same node.
- Enter the number of instances to start on the same node. This value is the stacking number that you calculated.
