Pre requisite Copy your cq instance to another directory to have two instances of cq running in order to setup cluster on two instances. One of the instance will work as Master instance and another one will work as slave. Change port number of another instance to 4503 assuming first instance is running on port 4502. Steps to set up clustering in CQ 5.6 Goto <cq slave installation directory>\crx-quickstart\repository directory. Delete  cluster_node.id file present inside repository directory. Open <cq master installation directory>\crx-quickstart\repository\cluster_node.id and copy the value. Open  <cq slave installation directory>\crx-quickstart\repository\cluster.properties. Put value of clusterid copied from master instance to members key. Let's say "22410d70-250e-494b-b711-6c264d5a57bc" was cluster id of master node, then put this value under members key as shown below.            #Cluster properties           #Tue Jul 16 14:30:38
