To add another Endeca Server instance to an already deployed Endeca Server cluster, provision an additional WebLogic Managed Server and deploy the Endeca Server domain to this server.
The instructions in this topic assume that you have already deployed an Endeca Server cluster with three Endeca Server instances running on three Managed Servers in the WebLogic domain created for the Endeca Server.
To add another Endeca Server instance to the Endeca Server cluster:
For instructions, see Step 4: Packing the WebLogic domain and Step 5: Unpacking the WebLogic domain on Managed Servers.
If you are adding the fourth Endeca Server node, skip this step. If you are adding the fifth Endeca Server node, you can optionally perform this step. This step is needed to ensure that an odd number (that is equal to or greater than three) of the Endeca Server nodes are also running the Cluster Coordinator service. For instructions, see Changing settings in EndecaServer.properties.
Once the additional Managed Server is deployed, the Endeca Server application is started in it. Now you can create data domain profiles that require a greater number of Endeca Server instances; the Endeca data domains that you create using these profiles will be allocated to this additional Endeca Server instance.
