I am trying to set up a Pivotal Gemfire cluster with two nodes/hosts. Precisely two different unix servers. The idea behind is creating 1 locator and 1 cache server in each host where the locators should take care of load balancing among the cache servers. A replicated region will be created in both the cache servers. When a client creates/update a region in cache server using gfsh or java API, it should be replicated to other one
Using gfsh, I am able to start a locator (locator 1) and a cache server (server 1) in host_A and likewise in host_B. I have created a region (RegionA) in both the servers.
Is that all i have to do ?. Pivotal tutorials talk about having a locator and multiple cache servers in same machine. I could not find any appropriate resource which talks about multi-server/host configuration.
After starting the servers in both the hosts. I am starting servers in each of the host like this.
start server --name=server1 --locators=host_A[10334],host_B[10334] --group=group1 --server-port=40406
start server --name=server2 --locators=host_A[10334],host_B[10334] --group=group1 --server-port=40406
When i do "list members" in gfsh, host B shows (locator 2, server 1 [from host A], server 2), but host A shows locator 1 only. Ideally i am expecting 2 locator s and 2 servers as members in both the machines. Is that not right?
