[Cluster] Server Role
 

Hello,
can a server have 2 roles: i.e MASTER node + HTTP node
and when I add an addition server split the role into 2 servers?

sorry, buying a 1900EURO license and figuring it by myself is not an option...

one month and a half later.... :S

and 2 weeks more...

No problem to do that.

so I simply add a new server with the same role, and just shut down the services on the shared server (the one with 2 roles)?

if so, I could basically install one of these 2 schemes:

1. one server split into 4 VMs. each VM will have one service (master, node, db, storage).
2. 2 dedicated servers with all 4 services on each machine.
   maybe even a PRO license and then upgrade to CLUSTER.

when possible, I'll buy more servers and take responsibility out of the VM into a dedicated machine.


could you please explain how to do this, I don't see if this is possible with the new Installer...?

Hello.

Yes, also you may need to reconfigure some services because of changing IP-address

You may use VMs, but it is very not optimal - it is better to use at least 3 dedicated servers for cluster:
1 - Storage
2 - MySQL
3 - Master + HTTP
As for 2 Dedicated servers, i think it is wrong way - there is no way to upgrade ISPmanager Pro to ISPmanager Cluster and Cluster should use shard Storage

I understand Cluster is designed for only 2 MySQL server and 2 Storage server, right?
is this the same case for master and/or httpd nodes?

I know it's not optimal, I'm currently using one of my strongest servers for another shared hosting solution, so I would like to "squeeze" everything on one server split into VMs, and then move all clients from the other shared solution so the strong server will be empty to load-balance...

Yes, you're right.

At the present time we support only one master node, however, in a short time we are going to add a support for multiple master nodes. You can use unlimited number of http nodes.

so basically the situation shown here: http://www.ispsystem.com/en/software...nager/cluster/
is a lie?!

lucky me I asked before purchasing...

Due to some technical problems master-node support is currently being tested, thus this feature is not available in the latest release. Once we have finished testing, it will be released in the near future.

has anything change in the last year?
