Starting AppFabric Cache Cluster automatically

Hi,

Is there a way to start the cache cluster automatically on system startup? I'm running it on a remote PC and when it gets restarted I have to remote into it and restart the cache cluster from Powershell using Start-CacheCluster, and would like to not have to do this.

Thanks,

James

Yes - if you change the startup mode of the AppFabric Caching Service from Manual to Automatic, then the service will start once the server has finished booting. AppFabric Service configuration window

I suspect that as AppFabric starts to move into production clusters, this will become a 'best practice' thing to do in order to get maximum uptime on the cluster.

Hmmm. I don't seem to have that service available, is it registered on installation? I think perhaps I have an older version than you, I'm running Beta1 I believe (AseSetup_amd64_6.1.exe)

Ah, in Beta 1 it's called something like (IIRC) "Microsoft Project codenamed 'Velocity'", it'll appear about halfway down your services list. I recommend moving up to Beta 2 or the RC though, I've found it more reliable than Beta 1.

Ahh, thanks, found it :) Cheers
