Creating a Mediator Cluster
To create a cluster that includes Mediator, you must configure Integration Servers, a third-party load balancer, CentraSite, and instances of Mediator.
Configuring Integration Server
Mediator's cluster implementation is built upon the Integration Server's cluster support. You must configure the Integration Servers in the cluster as described in the webMethods Integration Server Clustering Guide.
Configuring the Third-Party Load Balancer
You must configure a third-party load balancer to use clustering in Mediator. You must use the load balancer to configure the following:
A virtual network that defines the IP addresses of the nodes
The WS-Context to route calls to the cluster
For information about configuring your load balancer for use in the clustered system, see the documentation for that product.
Configuring Mediator
All
Integration Server cluster members must contain identically-configured instances of
Mediator. You use the
Mediator Administration console to configure each instance of
Mediator. For more information, see
Overview for Configuring Mediator.
Note: | You can use the package replication functionality in the Integration Server Administrator to copy Mediator packages to other servers in the cluster. For information about package replication, see the webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide. |
Configuring CentraSite
When you configure CentraSite, you must configure the deployment endpoint of the target to point to the load balancer. For more information, see the Run-Time Targets section of the CentraSite documentation.
