To add servers into installed IBM Docs for workload
balancing, for Docs and Conversion servers you need to add new cluster
members into the cluster, and then run install_node.bat or install_node.sh on
the new added machines. For Viewer and Proxy servers, you only need
to add new cluster members.
About this task
For Conversion on Linux, the script installer is located at
IBMConnectionsDocs_CR3/DocsConversion_Linux_2.0.0.zip. During installation, if
you have any version mismatching issues, refer to Troubleshooting.Procedure
- See Installing WebSphere Application Server to
federate a new created node into the Deployment Manager.
- In the administrative console, click (for Proxy, click ).
- Click New to start the Create
a new cluster member wizard. Follow the wizard to add a
new cluster member into the cluster, make sure you are using the new federated
node.
- In the administrative console, click , select the checkbox before the new added nodes, and
then click the Synchronize button.
- For Docs and Conversion, copy the script installers
(DocsApp_2.0.0/DocsConversion_2.0.0) to the new added
machines, follow the guide to configure cfg.node.propertis, and then run the
install_node.sh file on Linux or install_node.bat on
Windows from the installation directory.
Note: For Viewer and Proxy, you do not need to perform step 5.
Steps to configure
cfg.node.propertis:- Copy the content in cfg.properties to the
cfg.node.properties file to replace existing content.
- Open the cfg.node.properties file to modify properties:
- Change docs_install_root to the installation directory of IBM Docs on the
Docs nodes.
- Change was_install_root to the WebSphere profile path that is used to
install IBM Docs servers.
- For Docs Nodes and Conversion Nodes, add the new node into Job Manager target list. Refer to
Adding Docs Nodes, Conversion Nodes, Deployment Manager and web server into Job Manager target list.
- For Docs Nodes and Conversion Nodes, if you want to add sanity check for the new node, do the
following steps:
, add "WC_defaulthost" and "hostname" of the new node to "cluster_hosts", save the changes, from
DMGR web console, synchronize the changes to all nodes, then restart IBMDocsCluster or
IBMConversionCluster.
- Open
{DMGR_INSTALL_ROOT}/config/cells/{CELL_NAME}/IBMDocs-config/docs_sanity.json or
conversion_sanity.json.
- Add "WC_defaulthost" and "hostname" of the new node to "cluster_hosts", and save the
changes.
- From DMGR web console, synchronize changes to all nodes, and then restart
IBMDocsCluster or IBMConversionCluster.
