Windows 2008 NLB cluster ?

Hi Ivan

Thanks for downloading and using NorthScale Memcached Server. Sorry you ran into this issue, it is a known issue and we are working on better support for multiple interface/ip deployments.

In the meantime, you can use the following workaround with the 1.0 release:
1. from "INSTALLDIR\Memcached Server\bin"
2. run "service_stop.bat"
3. run "service_unregister.bat"
4. run "service_register.bat ns_1@"
5. run "service_start.bat"

Please let me know if this resolves your issue. You can also contact me directly anytime.

Thanks.

Rod

Hi rod,

I've just tried the workaround you'be sent me, but it didn't work. I've also edited service_register.bat to set IP_ADDR=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx but the NorthScale Console stills shows the node with the old IP address and is now marked as down. I've tried to Join Cluster and typed my physical address and I get message that I have successfully joined the cluster but other than that nothing changes.

Ivan, sorry to hear this is still an issue. Although, we haven't extensively tested with Win2k8 NLB, this workaround should still work well. Can you also try deleting the config directory? Between steps 4 and 5 above. Please let me know. Thanks.

PS: this will remove all your current bucket and cluster configurations... you can also backup the file instead of removing it altogether.

Rod, Ivan

Deleting content of config folder between steps 3 and 4 worked well for me. Both servers restarted on real (non-NLB addresses) and I was able to join another node.

Cheers,
Andrei

It worked for me also. Now I can see both nodes. Thanks to both of you.
