2–14 iSTAR eX Installation and Configuration Guide
Adding Controllers to the Cluster
Follow these guidelines when adding iSTAR eX controllers to a cluster.
„
A controller must be assigned to a cluster before the controller can
communicate with the host, master, or other controllers.
Use the “Cluster” window in the C•CURE System Administration
application to add controllers to a cluster. When added to a cluster, the
controller becomes a cluster member.
„
One controller can comprise a cluster. You can configure a controller as its
own cluster by configuring a cluster that includes only the controller and
specifying that controller as the master.
„
A cluster member communicates with other cluster members through the
master.
„
A cluster communicates with the C•CURE host via the cluster’s primary
or secondary path.
„
A cluster communicates with other clusters and with apC panels via the
C•CURE host.
„
A cluster can communicate with the C•CURE server across a WAN. You
can configure clusters that are spread across WAN topologies.
