{brandname} GUI demo

This document walks you through using the {brandname} GUI demo that ships with {brandname}, and assumes that you have downloaded the latest version of {brandname} and unzipped the archive. 

I will refer to the {brandname} directory created by unzipping the archive as ${INFINISPAN_HOME}.

Note	You will need either the -bin.zip or -all.zip version for this demo.

Step 1: Start the demo GUI

Open up a console and type:

$ cd ${INFINISPAN_HOME}
$ bin/runGuiDemo.sh

An equivalent runGuiDemo.bat file is also provided for Windows users.

Step 2: Start the cache

Start the cache in the GUI that starts up, using the Start Cache button.

Step 3: Manipulate data

In the Manipulate Data tab, add entries, generate random data, etc.

Step 4: Start more cache instances

Repeat steps 1 and 2 to launch and start up more caches. Watch cluster formation in the Cluster View tab.

Step 5: Manipulate more data

Add and remove data on any of the nodes, and watch state being distributed. Shut nodes down as well to witness data durability.
