Introduction
In order to provide your clients with a service that
is highly available, clustering is recomended. Clusters
enable transparency across your clients. If one server
becomes unavailable, the client will automatically reconnect
to another realm within the cluster. All cluster objects
within the realm are replicated among all cluster realms
and their state is maintained exactly the same across
all realm members. Therefore whenever a client disconnects
from one realm and reconnects to another, they will
resume from the same position on the newly connected
realm.

When a client provides a list of RNAMES as a comma
separated list, if each entry in the list corresponds
to realm that is a member of the cluster, then the client
will reconnect to the next realm in the cluster list.
For more information on clustering, please see the
clustering
section in the Administrators Guide. |
