Configuring the First and Subsequent Hosts

The configuration procedures differ depending on if you run MarkLogic Server in a cluster configuration or on a single host.

If you are configuring MarkLogic Server as a standalone host, or if this is the first host in a cluster configuration, then follow the installation instructions in Configuring a Single Host or the First Host in a Cluster. Otherwise, follow the installation instructions in Configuring an Additional Host in a Cluster.

If you are upgrading a cluster to a new release, then see Upgrading a Cluster to a New Maintenance Release of MarkLogic Server in Scalability, Availability, and Failover. The Security database and the Schemas database must be on the same host, and that host should be the first host that you upgrade when upgrading a cluster.
