Infinispan Server Cluster - define member IP addresses

I tried to replace our memcached servers with Infinispan Server to get replication/distribution features for our services.

Using the clustered-memcached.xml example configuration I can easily run Infinispan Servers on multiple hosts, but the problem is that the auto discovery/multicast feature will find all Infinispan Server instances on the whole network, meaning it will join all our stages (test, qa, production) together to a single cluster ... which is obviously not what anybody wants.

Is there an example on how I can define cluster members by IP/port without any UDP multicast discovery magic? The documentation has zero content about isolating clusters ... and in general lacks of useful xml examples.

What you need to do is configure the initial_hosts adding what are the IP addresses. In this example, we are using 192.168.1.2[7600],192.168.1.3[7600]

The following is a partial stack configuration

    <stack name="tcp">
        <transport type="TCP" socket-binding="jgroups-tcp"/>
        <protocol type="TCPPING">
            <property name="initial_hosts">192.168.1.2[7600],192.168.1.3[7600]</property>
            <property name="num_initial_members">2</property>
            <property name="port_range">0</property>
            <property name="timeout">2000</property>
        </protocol>
        .......
    </stack>

Once you have configured the initial_hosts, you need to change what will be the stacks when the server starts.

1) You can replace ${jboss.default.jgroups.stack:udp} with tcp

OR

2) Start the server with ./standalone.sh -c clustered.xml -Djboss.default.jgroups.stack=tcp 

<subsystem xmlns="urn:infinispan:server:jgroups:9.4">
  <channels default="cluster">
    <channel name="cluster"/>
  </channels>
  <stacks default="${jboss.default.jgroups.stack:udp}">
    ...
  </stacks>
</subsystem>
