Connecting to Cluster

Before you can manage stores, you must connect to one or more Clustron managers.

All administrative operations are performed through managers.

What is a Manager?​

A manager runs on each machine and is responsible for:

  • Creating stores
  • Starting and stopping nodes
  • Managing cluster state

Each machine runs one manager, typically on port 7801.

Connection Model​

How you connect depends on your setup.

Single Machine​

  • Only one manager exists
  • Connect using localhost
Connect-DkvManager -Managers localhost:7801

Multiple Machines​

  • Each machine has its own manager
  • You must connect to all managers
Connect-DkvManager -Managers 10.0.0.11:7801,10.0.0.12:7801

Command: Connect-DkvManager​

Use this command to establish a connection with one or more managers.

Syntax​

Connect-DkvManager -Managers <host1:port>,<host2:port>,...

Parameters​

ParameterDescription
-ManagersComma-separated list of manager endpoints

Examples​

Single Machine​

Connect-DkvManager -Managers localhost:7801

Multiple Machines​

Connect-DkvManager -Managers 10.0.0.11:7801,10.0.0.12:7801

What Happens After Connecting?​

Once connected:

  • You can create and manage stores
  • Commands are executed across the cluster
  • The system is ready for administration

Important Notes​

  • One manager per machine
  • Default management port is 7801
  • In multi-machine setups, include all managers
  • Connection is required before running other admin commands

Common Issues​

Cannot Connect to Manager​

  • Ensure Clustron is installed
  • Verify the manager is running
  • Check firewall rules for port 7801

Partial Connection (Multi-Machine)​

  • Ensure all manager endpoints are reachable
  • Verify network connectivity between machines
