Copying Cluster Definitions Between Servers
The procedure that is shown here is easier than editing each registry individually, but is also more dangerous because you can overwrite the cluster registry without looking at it first. If you are not certain that overwriting is safe, edit each of the registries manually.

Warning. The following kreg commands duplicate the cluster entries in the registry from one server to another (this example uses the paths and backslash (\) convention for a Windows NT system; convert to the appropriate UNIX paths and forward slashes (/) if you are on a UNIX system).

  1. On the machine with the cluster definition that you want to copy to other machines, give the following commands to save the updated cluster definition in files named cluster.def and cnames.def.:
  2. kreg -savetree cluster.def SOFTWARE\KIVA\Enterprise\Clusters

    kreg -savetree cnames.def SOFTWARE\KIVA\Enterprise\2.0\CCS0\ClusterName

  3. Then, stop the Netscape Application Servers and copy the files cluster.def and cnames.def to every other machine in the proposed cluster.
  4. Run the following commands for each server that will contain a duplicate of the original cluster definition:
  5. kreg -unregister SOFTWARE\KIVA\Enterprise\Clusters

    kreg -unregister SOFTWARE\KIVA\Enterprise\2.0\CCS0\ClusterName

    kreg -loadtree cluster.def

    kreg -loadtree cnames.def
