You can add servers to a cluster at any time. This section describes the following:

Adding cluster members in Windows
Use the ClusterCATS Explorer to add servers to a cluster. If you used the Cluster Setup
Wizard (Windows only) to create a cluster and populate it with cluster members, you can
also add clusters using the following procedure.
To add an additional cluster member to a cluster:
1 Open the ClusterCATS Explorer and select a cluster.
2 Select Cluster > New > Cluster Member . Alternatively, you can click the Add button
or right-click the cluster icon and select New > Cluster Member .
The Add New Server to Cluster dialog box appears:
3 In the Web Server Name field, enter the fully qualified host name of the web server
(for example, doc.macromedia.com).
4 If you use the ClusterCATS dynamic IP addressing scheme and the maintenance IP
address is not bound to your NIC, select ClusterCATS Maintenance Support.
If you are not configuring this web server for offline maintenance support, go to step
6.
Note: You can set the maintenance support option only when creating a cluster or
adding a cluster member to a cluster. You cannot configure or modify this option after
you have created and added the cluster member to the cluster.
Enabling maintenance support for clusters requires that you configure your cluster
for ClusterCATS dynamic IP addressing. For more information, see
“ClusterCATS
dynamic IP addressing (Windows only)” on page 132 .
5 Enter the fully qualified host name of the maintenance address (for example,
serv1.yourcompany.com) in the Maintenance Address field.
6 Click OK.
7 Repeat steps 2 through 6 to add additional servers to the cluster manually.
