Creating a Cluster

Mule Runtime Engine versions 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7 reached End of Life on or before January 25, 2020. For more information, contact your Customer Success Manager to determine how you can migrate to the latest Mule version.
You can now easily create a cluster through the Runtime Manager UI. See Creating and Managing Clusters.

After downloading the demo bundle and executing the six scripts, you can open the Mule Management Console to see Mule in action. We start by registering two Mule servers, or nodes, in the Mule Management Console, then we configure a cluster with two nodes.

Registering Servers

  1. Open your browser, then go to http://localhost:8585/mmc and login to the management console using the following credentials:

    • Username: admin

    • Password: admin

      mmc_login

  2. The management console displays a Mule ESB Enterprise - Quick Start screen; click the red X icon red x icon in the upper-right corner to close.

  3. The management console presents the Dashboard tab by default; click the Server tab.

  4. Click Add, then select New Server.

  5. In the Server Name field on the Add Server screen, enter a unique name for the first server, such as Server A.

  6. In the Mule Agent URL field, do not adjust the default value, http://localhost:7777/mmc-support

  8. Click All in the Package Explorer column at left to return to the main screen of the Server tab, then click Add, then select New Server again.

Creating a Cluster

  1. On the Servers tab in the management console, click Add, then select New Cluster.

  3. Click to select both servers in the Available Nodes pane, then click the >> button to move the selections to the Cluster Nodes pane.

  4. Click Add to create the cluster. (Mule must restart the servers so this process may take a minute.)
