Unable to create cluster

Unable to create cluster

The customer is doing a new install and can not get the cluster working.

Customer gets the error: Unable to invoke insertIntoCluster

How can we delete the cluster by hand and start over?


Helped customer remove cluster by hand by:

1) Shut down the stoneware servers (loaders)
2) Delete /stoneware/config/defaultloaderdefaultprofile  (or whatever name it is based on the name of the loader and profile)
3) Backup the /stoneware/stonewareloader.xml file
4) Edit the /stoneware/stonewareloader.xml and remove the <service name="cluster"> </service> section, as well as the 2nd <loader> </loader> section.

Do the same thing on every other stoneware server that participated in the cluster.

Start webNetwork up and create the cluster on server #1
Once that is working, join the existing cluster on server #2

The customer originally made a mistake in ip addresses when creating the cluster and that confused things and required a manual delete of the cluster and then starting over.



UPDATE: do to a bug in the cluster join code you may have to follow the following steps :

Here are the steps we had to go through to re-create the cluster last time.

·         Create node 0 on server #1

·         Down Server #1, start up

·         Join server #2 into cluster.

·         It will fail saying cluster was not configured.

·         Go to Node 0 and FORCE REMOVE server #2

·         Go back to Server #2 and join cluster again

·         It will show that the cluster config LIKE it joined, but is has no host ID

·         Click LEAVE to leave the cluster

·         Go to Node 0 and FORCE REMOVE server #2

·         Down Server #2

·         Delete the cluster folder in the \config directory on Server #2

·         Start it back up

·         Join cluster and it will work.

·         Now do the same for Server #3

·         Join server #3 into cluster

·         It will fail saying cluster was not configured

·         Go to Node 0 and FORCE REMOVE server #3

·         Go back to Server #3 and join cluster again

·         It will show that the cluster config LIKE it joined, but is has not host ID

·         Click LEAVE to leave the cluster

·         Go to Node 0 and FORCE REMOVE server #3

·         Down Server #3

·         Delete the cluster folder in the \config directory on Server #3

·         Start it back up

·         Join cluster and it will work.

We used the short name for the cluster addresses, versus the FQDN or IP.
