We are looking into the multinode cluster for hazelcast using TCP mechanism. Say the first node has configuration as below
<tcp-ip enabled="true">
</tcp-ip>
and the second node has a configuration as below
<tcp-ip enabled="true">
<member>IP of first node (any one active node)</member>
</tcp-ip>
The second node successfully gets added to the cluster and everything is fine. Now if the first node goes down and comes back online it becomes a separate cluster (single node) rather than getting added to existing cluster. I tried with configuration as below
<tcp-ip enabled="true">
<interface>Range of IP's (eg: xxx.xxx.xxx.100-120)</interface>
</tcp-ip>
for the first node but that works if the second node is online. But if its the first node then it never starts... I am not sure exactly how should the first node be setup such that it gets added to the cluster if already present or should be setup as a new cluster if no other members available. Or is it necessary that we have to edit the cluster.xml for the first node once it goes down?? Please help
