Federating additional nodes

After you have created a high availability environment in a network deployment cell, you can federate additional nodes into the cell at a later time if needed.

About this task

Important: IBM® Business Monitor does not support portal-based dashboards in the same cell as IBM Business Monitor server v8.5.7.

To federate existing nodes into the deployment manager, complete the following steps for each node:

Procedure

Start the deployment manager.
From the profile directory corresponding to the node you want to federate, run the addNode command, specifying the host name of the deployment manager and optionally, the SOAP connector port number of the deployment manager.
- profile_root\bin\addNode.bat dmgr_host_name [dmgr_soap_port]
- profile_root/bin/addNode.sh dmgr_host_name [dmgr_soap_port]
To run the command with tracing enabled, use the -trace option; for example: addNode host_name -trace
For additional details on how to run the addNode command, see the related information in the WebSphere® Application Server information center.
