Configuring cluster members on additional WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment nodes

You can use the configuration program to configure cluster members on additional WebSphere nodes.

About this task

After you have defined clusters on the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment deployment manager, you can configure cluster members on additional WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment nodes.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the system serving as the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment nodes.
  2. Start the configuration program from the Control Desk launchpad.
    In the launchpad navigation pane, click Configure Product and then click Launch the Tivoli’s Process Automation Suite configuration program.
  3. In the IBM Control Desk configuration operations page, click Configure WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment for a new deployment.
  4. In the Configure WebSphere Application Server panel, specify the installation location and configuration information for WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment and associated components. Select the options to configure the system for clusters and to automate the configuration of IBM® HTTP Server.
  5. In the Configure Application Server Cluster Profiles panel, specify information to use to create additional cluster members on this nodes.
    1. Select Use an existing Deployment Manager.
    2. Specify connection information for the remote WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment deployment manager system.
    3. Specify the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment administrator user credentials.
    4. Click Load clusters to load cluster information from the remote WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment deployment manager.
    5. Click New Managed Node to create a managed node. Specify a node name and a name for the profile that contains information about the new managed node.
      You can create more than one managed node, but you must have at least one managed node defined.
    6. Select the managed node and click New Server.
    7. From the WebSphere Managed Node Server Definition page, select Application server cluster member. Specify a name for the cluster member and select the cluster to associate with the cluster member.
      You can create as many cluster members as you need, but you must create at least one.
      You cannot create a new web server for the cluster because it was defined when the cluster was created on the remote WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment deployment manager
    8. Repeat the process to create new cluster members and assign them to clusters defined on the remote WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment deployment manager.
  6. Specify additional configuration information in the Configure Application Server Advanced Options panel, if required.
  7. In the Apply Deployment Operations panel select all deployment operation options and click Finish.
