Adding a node to a grid

solidDB Help : solidDB Grid : Working with grids : Scaling a grid : Adding a node to a grid

Note Check the solidDB Release Notes for any limitations that are associated with using a grid in the current release.

Complete the following steps to add a solidDB server as an additional grid node:

1 Identify the solidDB server that you want to add as a node. The server must not contain any data.

2 If not already configured, configure the following settings in the solid.ini file for the additional node:

Grid.GridEnabled=Yes
LogReader.LogReaderEnabled=Yes
HotStandby.HSBEnabled=No

3 If not already started as a grid node, start the solidDB server with the -x gridnode command line argument, see solidDB (solid) command line syntax.

4 Connect to one of the nodes in the grid and run the ALTER GRID statement with the ADD NODE option, see ALTER GRID. For example:

ALTER GRID ADD NODE NAME node5 CONNECT TO 'tcp 192.168.255.2 2323'

In this example, the server is added with a specific name (node5) that can be used to refer to the node in other statements.

The address and port number are used by other nodes in the grid to connect to this node.
