Manually synchronizing WebSphere Application Server nodes

Question & Answer


Question

How do you synchronize WebSphere nodes outside of the WebSphere Application Server Integrated Console?

Cause

Steps in WebSphere document are general, not specific to the way WebSphere is set up for Maximo environments.

Answer

For purposes of these examples, IBM WebSphere Application Server is installed to C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer, and WebSphere was installed and configured using Installation Manager and the Configuration Tool.

<was_home> - C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\
<dmgr_home> - C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\ctgDmgr01\
<node_home> - C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\ctgAppSrv01\

Steps to synchronize nodes manually

  1. Start an administrative command prompt. Note: Windows PowerShell commands are the same.
  2. Change directory to <node_home>\bin
  3. Check to see if any servers are running:
    serverStatus.bat -all -username <wasadmin> -password <wasadmin>
    Node Server status results
  4. Stop running Maximo JVMs; here it is called MXServer:
    stopServer.bat MXServer -username <wasadmin> -password <wasadmin>
    Stop server MXServer
  5. Stop the Node Agent:
    stopNode.bat
    StopNode.bat
  6. Synchronize nodes:
    syncNode.bat <full_server_name> -username <wasadmin> -password <wasadmin>
    syncNode.bat
  7. Start the node
    startNode.bat
  8. Start the Maximo server
    startServer.bat MXServer
