A cluster with several nodes can be built automatically.

A template can be created that can be redirected to a file and processed:

visulox cluster build -template

Example template:

# CLUSTER BUILD FILE:
#
# to use with:
#
#       visulox cluster build -file FILE
#
# 1. Comment lines and blank lines are ignored.
# 2. A non-commented line stands for a node of the cluster.
# 3. A node is defined by the three fields hostname, location, zone
#    in that order, separated by blanks.
#
#       HOSTNAME1  LOCATION1  ZONE1
#       HOSTNAME2  LOCATION2  ZONE2
#       ...
#
# or with default zone (STANDARD)
#
#       HOSTNAME3  LOCATION3
#
# or with default location (STANDARD) and zone (STANDARD)
#
#       HOSTNAME4
#
# 4. Each listed node must have
#    - VISULOX installed,
#    - VISULOX running,
#    - the correct location and zone set.
# 5. If a node is already member of the cluster, it will be ignored.
