Partitions can be dynamically added to nodes either by the application or by the administrator. The steps to add a new partition to an active node are identical to the steps defined in the section called “Adding a node to a cluster” to add a new node to the cluster, specifically:
Define the partition as show in Figure 6.7, “Defining a partition”.
Enable the partition on the active node using the
Enablebutton on theHigh Availabilitytab as shown in Figure 6.11, “Adding a new partition”.
These commands can also be used to define and enable a new partition:
administrator servicename=A define partition name="YY" activenode=A replicas=C administrator servicename=A join cluster
Notice that the Partition State for the new
partition is Initial (see Figure 6.11, “Adding a new partition”). The Initial
partition state indicates that an enable needs to be done on this node to
activate the new partition.
