Cognos Clustering

[Alex555]

I have installed Congos8 all the component in server-1. But now i would like to make sure failover too. I have another server called server-2.

In server -2 i would like to install another CM and dispatcher. I would like to konw how to cluster dispacher and CM in server-2 with server -1 so that if CM in Server-1 fails then passive CM in server-2 will be active and dispatcher in Server-1 and 2  will  divided the request from gateway. I did not get any good doc on cognos clustering step by step.

It is not well documented, as it does out of the box what you descibe.
If you want the gateway request to decide which dispatcher runs the report request, in Cognos connection, administation, dispatcher properties switch from round robin to cluster compatible.

Can you describe in more detail how your gateway makes the decision? (hardware load balancer?)
