Configuring the Cache Cluster

Microsoft AppFabric 1.1 for Windows Server offers various ways of editing the cache cluster configuration settings. You can edit your cluster configuration settings in XML or by using Windows PowerShell directly.

The cluster configuration settings specify how the cluster itself, the named caches, and the cache hosts will work. For more information about all of the cluster configuration settings available, see Cluster Configuration Settings.

The following topics describe the overall process of how you can edit the cluster-level configuration settings.

Note

Some configuration changes require downtime. Cache-level changes require downtime for the corresponding named cache. Cluster-level changes require downtime of the entire cache cluster.
