Description
This operation creates a new cluster within your site. Creating a new cluster involves defining a clustering protocol that will be shared by all server machines participating in the cluster. All server machines that are added to the cluster must be registered with the site. The clustering protocol and the initial list of server machines are optional. In this case, the server picks the default clustering protocol and selects the port numbers such that they do not conflict with other configured ports on the server machine. Once a cluster has been created you can add more machines (to increase the compute power) or remove them (to reduce the compute power) dynamically.
