You can use the Cluster Manager to add ColdFusion server instances running on other computers; however, you must first define them to the ColdFusion Administrator through the Add Remote Server Instance area of the Instance Manager page.
Note: To define a remote server instance, it must be running. You cannot start or stop servers remotely.
Define a remote server instance to ColdFusion
- Open the ColdFusion Administrator for the cfusion server in a browser (http://hostname:8300/CFIDE/administrator).
- Select Enterprise Manager > Instance Manager.
- Specify the following in the Add Remote ColdFusion Instance area:
- Server name
- The IP address or DNS name of the remote host.
- The remote port of the remote server. To determine the remote port, open the jrun_root/servers/servername/SERVER-INF/jndi.properties file and note the port number in the java.naming.provider.url property.
- Click Add Remote ColdFusion Server.
