IBM Lotus Quickr cluster management

There are a few aspects to consider when managing a cluster over a single server deployment.

The first is around deployment of fixes on the servers. The process has been in a state of transition in the past so it is important to review the specific steps that are released with each set of fixes. In general the fix files need to be deployed across all cluster members. However, any qptool commands should only be executed on one cluster member unless instructed otherwise. Replication will then transfer the place level changes to the other systems in the cluster.

The synchronization of place content is a bit unique in a cluster. When a new place or placetype is created it only exists on one server in the cluster. This will be on the server that the creating user is accessing at that moment, using the load balancer. Then the qptool replicamaker will run periodically using the schedule defined earlier in the chapter. The qptool replicamaker command will create...
