Clustering

In this case, clustering means load balancing for generating projects on additional FirstSpirit servers (“horizontal scalability”).

For information on the concept and a description of the architecture, see Clustering - load distribution on generation.

A FirstSpirit server can be registered as a master or slave server for operation in a cluster group in the “Clustering” area.

• FirstSpirit master server configuration under Windows
• FirstSpirit slave server configuration under Windows

Mixed Operation Not Possible in Cluster Environments: Mixed operation of isolated servers and legacy servers (see Module development "Isolated" (→Isolated Mode Guide)) is not permitted in a cluster group. This means that an isolated master server cannot be operated in a group with a legacy slave server (or vice versa), for example.
