Adding Clusters

Use the Add a Cluster control to add a new cluster to the Cluster table on the Status page.

To add a cluster:

  1. Select the Status tab.
  2. Enter a name for the cluster that you want to define in the Add a Cluster field.
  1. Click Add.

The Cluster Name column displays the names of the clusters you have defined.

Practice this procedure in Practice—Adding Clusters.

Information about the clusters you added is displayed in the two parts of the Status tab:

Location Displays Name
Cluster Area List of currently defined clusters cluster status list
Servers Area Appliances that are defined for each cluster server status list

The server status list displays the status of the appliances assigned to the currently selected cluster.

It is important to know the cluster in which you are currently working. The label bar of the server status list always tells you this. Any changes that you make on any of the other tabs in ZixGateway Manager apply to the current cluster only.

Cluster Naming Conventions

The Cluster Name must consist of letters (upper or lowercase), numerals, dashes (“-”), underscores (“_”), or periods (“.”) only. It may not include spaces. Often, a cluster will be associated with a root email domain; therefore, using the email domain as a cluster name is recommended.
