To add EC host and to bind hosts

This is an optional configuration task. By default, one host instance is started for every kind of EC node.

Follow these rules:

  • You can only add a host on a machine with LCM service installed. The machine must be connected to the LCM Server that is used by EC.

  • You can add hosts in grid to run EC on multiple hosts.

    Before you can add hosts, you must properly configure the required grid settings for every host to add.

  1. In the LCM Applications tab, select and expand the view of the Space > Grid Hosts node where EC application is installed.
  2. In the Node Types table, click the plus sign across the node type for which to add hosts.

    The Bindings window is displayed.

  3. Specify a numeric value for the minimum, initial, and maximum number of nodes for this node type.

    Refer to the "Grid node and binding table settings" in this section.

  4. Click Add Binding.

    This action will bind your selected host or a multiple selection of hosts to EC Application to be able to run additional EC_Process nodes on selected machines or hosts.

  5. Save and exit the page.
