Cluster Help

You can couple two clusters together to allow communication between different clusters. This communication is used for Database Replication. A Foreign Cluster is a cluster that communicates with another cluster. Foreign clusters are used for database replication to replicate a database in one cluster to a database in another cluster (the foreign cluster).

The following are the configuration options:

• A Cluster Name is a name that represents the cluster. You can change this name only when you are on the local cluster. The name defaults to a name that includes the hostname for the host that was involved in the coupling of the cluster.

• SSL FIPS enabled specifies whether FIPS mode is enabled.

• A Bootstrap Host is a host that is used to communicate the foreign cluster's configuration to the local cluster.

• A Foreign Cluster is another MarkLogic Server cluster that this cluster communicates with. If you are using database replication, you must set up a foreign cluster in which to replicate.

• Language Baseline sets the language baseline to be used in the cluster, either "legacy" or "ml9".

• Use the Summary tab to view information about cluster in which this cluster is coupled.
• Use the Couple tab to couple this cluster with another cluster. In order to replicate a database from one cluster to a database in another, the two clusters must first be coupled.
