When nodes are added to a cluster their NodeID is allocated as an increment to the last one. But in case we are starting to build a cluster, say with 5 or 6 nodes, can we expect/guess the node ID that will be allocated to each of them? This number doesn’t looks random to me and its certainly not using alphabetical order of the node names or using any sequence for the node that’s being used to build.
All these are from a Win 6.3 build done over a virtual env.
Cluster setup was first done from machine w63sAcNs3& then on the same environment usingw63sAcNs4 (the environment was refreshed using VM snapshots). The NodeID is allocated in the same order. So what’s the logic behind numbering these machines like this?
Similar setup was redone from machine w63sAcNs3, after adding another nodew63sAcNs6. The time the sequence went same until #3, then it changed. So what’s triggering this?
