Figure 5-11 illustrates at a high level how the relationships between the Filr and Filr Search appliances are established to create a Filr cluster.
Figure 5-11 Filr-Clustering Task 5: Configuring the Filr appliances for clustering
For each Filr appliance, do the following:
In the Appliance Administration Utility (port 9443), click
.Use the Clustering dialog to connect the Filr appliances to each other.
Figure 5-12 illustrates that the first Filr appliance is configured with a list of all Filr appliances in the cluster, and that list is then propagated to all other Filr appliances in the cluster.

.The list of IP addresses and ports is propagated to each appliance in the list, so you only need to type the list once. After that, the same list automatically appears in the Clustering dialog of the other Filr appliances in the cluster.
Enable high-availability searching and add both Filr Search appliances to each Filr appliance.
Figure 5-14 illustrates that the first Filr appliance is connected to both Filr Search appliances for high availability (HA) searching.
