Setting up a cluster

Use the Configuration Wizard to set up either a dynamic or static horizontal cluster.

Before you begin

Roadmaps provide an overview of the steps that are required for common environment configurations. Select the roadmap that is most like the environment that you want to set up.

Prerequisites

About this task

The Configuration Wizard supports adding additional nodes to a horizontal cluster. If you are setting up a vertical cluster, multiple node on a single physical server, manual instructions are available for adding an additional vertical node to either a dynamic or static cluster configuration.

Procedure

  1. Select the roadmap that is most like the configuration that you need to configure.

  2. Access the Configuration Wizard. Go to Configuration Wizard for more information.

    Note

    • If working with HCL Digital Experience 8.5 or 9 software level prior to CF18, the wizard address is: http://your_server:10200/ibm/wizard. After installing CF18, the configuration wizard is automatically adjusted.

    • Go to https://your_server/hcl/wizard for a Kubernetes deployment or http://your_server:10200/ibm/wizard for a traditional deployment.

    Restriction

    There is a known issue with Chrome version 45.x and the Configuration Wizard. If you are experiencing difficulties, use a different browser when you access the wizard.

    Note

    The wizard user interface might not be available in all languages. If the language is not currently supported, you might see the English version. For details on the supported languages for all of the HCL Digital Experience user interfaces, see Language support.
