Basic High-Availability Configuration
A basic high-availability configuration has the following components:
*Two or More Terracotta Server Instances
You may set up High Availability using either <server> or <mirror-group> configurations. Note that <server> instances do work together as a mirror group, but to create more than one stripe, or to configure the election-time, use <mirror-group> instances. For information on how to set up a cluster with multiple Terracotta server instances, see "Terracotta Server Array Architecture" in the BigMemory Max Administrator Guide.
*Server-Server Reconnection
A reconnection mechanism can be enabled to restore lost connections between active and mirror Terracotta server instances. See Automatic Server Instance Reconnect for more information.
*Server-Client Reconnection
A reconnection mechanism can be enabled to restore lost connections between Terracotta clients and server instances. See Automatic Client Reconnect for more information.
