CLUSTER Connection Manager configuration parameter

The CLUSTER parameter specifies that a connection unit is composed of a high-availability cluster, and specifies a name for that connection unit. A high-availability cluster is a primary server plus one or more secondary servers, which can be high-availability data replication secondary servers, shared-disk secondary servers, or remote stand-alone secondary servers.

Syntax

|--CLUSTER--connection_unit_name--------------------------------|

Usage

Each CLUSTER parameter value must be unique within the Connection Manager configuration file.

CLUSTER parameter values cannot use multibyte characters.

CLUSTER connection units can use the following redirection policies:
  • Round-robin
  • Secondary apply backlog
  • Workload

Each CLUSTER connection-unit definition that references a specific high-availability cluster must have a unique PRIORITY attribute value. For example, the following high-availability cluster, composed of server_1 and server_2, must have unique PRIORITY values in each definition.

my_connection_manager_1's configuration file:
NAME my_connection_manager_1
LOG 1
LOGFILE $INFORMIXDIR/tmp/my_cm_1.log

CLUSTER my_cluster
{
   INFORMIXSERVER server_1,server_2
   FOC ORDER=ENABLED \
       PRIORITY=1
}
my_connection_manager_2's configuration file:
NAME my_connection_manager_2
LOG 1
LOGFILE $INFORMIXDIR/tmp/my_cm_2.log

CLUSTER my_cluster
{
   INFORMIXSERVER server_1,server_2
   FOC ORDER=ENABLED \
       PRIORITY=2
}

Example 1: Specifying a high-availability cluster as a CLUSTER connection unit

In the following example, a high-availability cluster composed of the servers in my_server_group is specified as the CLUSTER connection unit my_cluster:
CLUSTER my_cluster
{
   INFORMIXSERVER my_server_group
   SLA sla_1 DBSERVERS=ANY
   FOC ORDER=ENABLED
       PRIORITY=1
}
