A
primer on Lotus Domino clustering
SearchDomino.com contributor Chuck Connell outlines the benefits of Lotus Domino server clustering
and shares a handful of best practices you should keep in mind before implementing a cluster in
your Lotus Notes Domino environment. |
Domino
cluster tuning
Cluster performance tuning allows you to set the point at which a Domino server considers itself
"too busy" and sends users to another Domino server. While this is a simple theory, putting it into
practice is quite complicated and has driven many Domino administrators to distraction. This tip
provides a primer on Lotus Domino server cluster tuning and helps demystify some of the confusion
on the topic. |
Monitoring
Domino cluster replication
Domino server clusters are an excellent way to provide for failover in the event of server outage.
But they provide little benefit if the data on the servers is not kept in sync. In this tip,
SearchDomino.com contributor Andy Pedisich shows how to monitor Lotus Domino cluster
replication. |
Comparing
replicas on clustered Lotus Domino servers
This script automatically generates a Microsoft Excel report to compare server replicas in a Lotus
Domino cluster -- including actual mail file sizes, quotas and warning thresholds. This information
can then be used to identify any replication issues. |
Locate
missing databases in a Lotus Domino cluster
SearchDomino.com Hall of Famer Blessan Philip explains how to generate a report in Microsoft Excel
of all Lotus Notes databases that are not present on the Domino servers in a selected cluster. |

Clustering
best practices
While not specific to a Lotus Notes Domino environment, this best practices guide steps out several
topics regarding clustering servers that maximize scalability, reliability, and performance of
applications. Topics discussed include general design considerations, application deployment
considerations, how to avoid problems when setting up your clusters and much more. |
