Adding cluster members

You can add as many cluster members as you want to an existing cluster.

Before you begin

Important: If the first cluster member is not created using an application server template with defaultWBM in the name, your IBM® Business Monitor environment will not function properly, and you will have to delete all the existing cluster members and re-create the first cluster member.

About this task

To create additional cluster members, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. In the navigation panel, click Servers > Clusters > WebSphere application server clusters > cluster_name > Cluster members.
  2. Click New to start the Create new cluster members wizard.
  3. For each new cluster member, complete the following steps:
    1. Specify a unique name for the additional member. The name must be unique within the node.
    2. Specify a node for the additional cluster member. This node must be an IBM Business Monitor node.
    3. Click Add member.
  4. Click Next to proceed to the summary panel.
  5. Review the information and click Finish.
  6. Click Save to save changes to the master configuration.
    Note: During the IBM Business Monitor installation, the Cognos service is also installed on the node and will be configured on the new server when a member is added to a cluster.
