Note

When installing the EP usage type in a portal cluster, the Visual Composer server runs above all J2EE server nodes that exist in that cluster.

In a cluster, EP is always installed on the central instance (on which SDM runs), which may consist of more than one server node. On the first restart after installation, the applications are replicated and synchronized on all other server nodes.
