Cluster Configuration in JBoss 7

The Configuration of Cluster in JBoss 7 is very Easy.

Here are the Sequence of steps to follow to configure a Cluster in JBoss 7

1. Configure JBoss Servers in Domain Mode. Follow the steps in this link as Usual.
2. Once you are done with Running JBoss Server in Domain Mode. Now we need to configure another Server on the “Host1” adding that new JBoss Server to “ha-server-group”
3. Now Configure a new Server in host like

<server name="ha-server-1" group="ha-server-group" auto-start="true">

<socket-bindings port-offset="300"/>

</server>

on the HC side

4.Once you configure these , Start DC using

./domain.sh -b 172.16.101.235 -bmanagement 172.16.101.235

and start the HC Using

./domain.sh -Djboss.domain.master.address=172.16.101.235 -b 172.16.101.196 -bmanagement 172.16.101.196

5.Now from the Management Console , you can see

and also on the Host Screen you can see

We can see the ha-server-2 configured on host1.

6.The next step is to deploy a application ,

Click On the “Manage Deployments” on the Right side

Click On the “Add” on the Left Side

Browse the File and select Ok for deployment.

Once the application is deployed , we need to enable the application.

Once the application is enabled , we need to assign it the server-group like

Select the Server-group(ha-Server-group).Select the Group Deployment.

The above screen will appear. Select the “assign” button to select the application.

Select the application and click Assign to assign the application to the Server -group.

Once it is assigned , enable the application on the server-group. At this point you can see the logs filling like

on HC Side

We can see the application is deployed in a Clustered Environment. Happy learning :-)
