Step 1: Select a dynamic cluster server type

Use this step to specify the server type and name for your new dynamic cluster.

To access this administrative console page, click Servers > Clusters > Dynamic clusters > New.

Server type

Specifies the types of servers that are in the dynamic cluster.

WebSphere Application Server: Specifies that the dynamic cluster contains application servers that are running WebSphere® Application Server Intelligent Management.
Managed Liberty server: Specifies that the dynamic cluster contains managed Liberty servers. For more information, see Configuring dynamic clusters for managed Liberty servers in the Modernized Runtime Extension for Java (MoRE) documentation.
Liberty profile server: Specifies that the dynamic cluster contains Liberty profile servers.
Apache server: Specifies that the dynamic cluster contains Apache servers.
Custom HTTP server: Specifies that the dynamic cluster contains HTTP servers.
JBoss server: Specifies that the dynamic cluster contains servers that are running JBoss Application Server.
On demand router: Specifies that a dynamic cluster of on demand routers is being created.
PHP server: Specifies that the dynamic cluster contains servers that are running PHP.
Apache Tomcat server: Specifies that the dynamic cluster contains servers that are running Apache Tomcat.
WebSphere Application Server Community Edition server: Specifies that the dynamic cluster contains servers that are running WebSphere Application Server Community Edition.
BEA WebLogic server: Specifies that the dynamic cluster contains servers that are running BEA WebLogic.
External WebSphere application servers: Specifies that the dynamic cluster contains servers that are in other cells. These cells might be running other versions of WebSphere Application Server. You can map these static clusters to a dynamic cluster.

Dynamic cluster name

Specifies a name for the dynamic cluster. The name must be unique among all clusters in the cell. If you are creating a dynamic cluster that is made of application servers, you specify the name in a later step.

The name field cannot contain the following characters: # \ / , : ; " * ? < > | = + & % ' . The name cannot begin with a period (.) or a space. A space does not generate an error, but leading and trailing spaces are automatically deleted.
