Create Clusters in Runtime Manager

To deploy applications to a cluster, you can either add the servers to Runtime Manager first and then create the cluster, or you can create the cluster and add servers to it later.

When you add a server to a unicast cluster, all existing servers in the cluster are restarted.

For Object Store persistence on all the servers in your cluster, create your cluster manually and use Quorum Management.

Restrictions

Before you add servers to a cluster, note the following restrictions:

  • Servers cannot contain any previously deployed applications.

  • Servers cannot belong to another cluster or group.

  • Multicast servers can be in the Running or Disconnected state.

  • Unicast servers must be in the Running state.

  • All servers in a cluster must be running the same Mule runtime engine version (including monthly update) and Runtime Manager agent version.

    For information about monthly updates, see Monthly Date-Patch Updates.
