MicroStrategy ONE

Verify the Clustered System is Working

Once all nodes have been synchronized and added to the cluster, you can verify that the cluster is working properly.

Verify from Developer

  1. Connect to one Intelligence Server in the cluster and ensure that the Cluster view in Developer (under Administration, under System Administration) is showing all the proper nodes as members of the cluster.
  2. Connect to any node and run a large report.
  3. Use the Cache Manager and view the report details to make sure the cache is created.
  4. Connect to a different node and run the same report. Verify that the report used the cache created by the first node.
  5. Connect to any node and run a report.
  6. Add the report to the History List.
  7. Without logging out that user, log on to a different node with the same user name.
  8. Verify that the History List contains the report added in the first node.

Verify from MicroStrategy Web

  1. Open the MicroStrategy Web Administrator page.
  2. Connect to any node in the cluster. MicroStrategy Web Universal should automatically recognize all nodes in the cluster and show them as connected.

If MicroStrategy Web does not recognize all nodes in the cluster, it is possible that the machine itself cannot resolve the name of that node. MicroStrategy cluster implementation uses the names of the machines for internal communication. Therefore, the Web machine should be able to resolve names to IP addresses. You can edit the lmhost file to relate IP addresses to machine names.

You can also perform the same cache and History List tests described above in Verify from Developer.
