I am attempting to set up a 4 instance cluster across two servers which are on an NLB cluster, but I can't get Session Replication in CF working at all.
I've tried two methods of setting it up so far. First I simply tried creating new instances based on the master cfusion instance. That didn't seem to work, so I then created an ear file and deployed that one ear file for each of the four instances. I am using the CF Administrator to deploy the instances, register the remote instances and select sticky sessions and session replication. I am not touching the JMC at all, since my understanding is that CF7 is supposed to allow clustering to be completely handled from the CF Administrator. With that said, I have looked at the config within the JMC after setting everything up through CF Admin, and I noticed two things that concern me: 1) not all of the instances in the CF Cluster have session replication checked within the JMC 2) there are no replication buddies listed for any of the instances Doesn't CF Admin just act as a front-end to the JRun clustering, and if so, shouldn't those things (replication buddies and session replication) both be automatically set up in the JMC as a result of configuring the cluster through CF Admin? Has anybody else had these issues. This is a new install, and I've been trying to get Macromedia support to help (since our salesperson said that the clustering setup would be included in the installation support), but so far the Macromedia support person hasn't been very responsive or helpful. We really need to have reliable fail-over on these servers since they are very heavily used 24x7 by a large client base. We don't use session variables for much, but it will create some problems in a couple areas of our application if we implement fail-over without session replication. Thanks!
