A service cluster is a collection of nodes. Gathering the nodes into a cluster enables central configuration.
On a multi-node site, the service cluster stores configurations, such as persistence type, database connection, and static content folder, for all nodes. All nodes are linked to the service cluster so that the settings can be unified.
Do the following:
-
Select Service cluster on the QMC start page or from the StartS drop-down menu to display the service cluster page.
