Migrating a CML Cluster Installation
A CML cluster is an installation that consists of a controller and one or more compute nodes. If your current CML installation is a cluster, you must perform a complete reinstallation of your cluster controller and your compute nodes. The installation procedures and configuration process for a CML cluster has changed significantly in CML 1.5 to fix limitations in the CML 1.3 cluster configuration process. The new cluster installation process is more robust while also providing more flexibility in configuring certain cluster settings.
Upgrade CML Client (VM Maestro)
You should update VM Maestro to version 1.5.0 build 510 or later. Older releases should still work since there were no changes in the file format or APIs from CML 1.2 or 1.3. However, running the latest version is recommended.
To download the new VM Maestro client:
-
Open a web browser and navigate to the CML host or virtual machine's IP address.
-
Login to the User Workspace Management (UWM).
-
Select CML Server from the menu that appears on the left.
-
Select the Download sub-menu.
-
Select VM Maestro Clients from the list of options.
-
From the list of files presented, download the VM Maestro client appropriate to your local platform (setup EXE for Windows, DMG for OS X, or zip file for Linux).
-
Install VM Maestro.
Once you have installed VM Maestro, you may want to update the node types shown in the Palette to match any changes on the CML server:
-
Launch VM Maestro
