Create a cluster for the Aggregation Proxy in
the WebSphere® Application Server
Network Deployment console,
and use the default values that WebSphere Application Server provides.
Before you begin
Before you begin, the following software
should be installed:
WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment,
version 7.0.0.1
In addition, you should have:
- Created a deployment manager profile
- Federated all nodes into the deployment manager cell
- Configured security
About this task
Create the AggProxyCluster cluster, and add members, by
completing the following steps:
- Log in to the Integrated Solutions Console:
- Open a browser and navigate to the following
URL: https://host_name:port/ibm/console.
Where:
- host_name is the fully qualified host name
of the server where the application or the network deployment manager
is deployed.
- port is the secured port used to access the
console. The default port is 9043.
Note: The default unsecured port is 9060.
If you use 9060, you must have "http" instead of "https" in the URL.
- Enter an administrator user ID and password. (Omit the password if security is
not enabled.)
- Click Log in.
- Click .
Note: If you are using WebSphere Application Server version 6.1.0.x, reach
this window by clicking .
- Click New.
- Type AggProxyCluster for the Cluster
name.
Note: Cluster names cannot include
the hyphen (-) character.
- Select Prefer local.
- Click Next.
- Type the Member name. This
is the fully qualified host name of additional WebSphere Application Server servers
being added as cluster members.
- Select Generate unique HTTP ports.
- Select the appropriate option for Select basis
for first cluster member for your environment.
- Select Create the member using an application server
template to create a new application server using an existing
template.
- Select Create the member using an existing application
server as a template to create a new application server
using another application server as a template.
- Select Create the member by converting an existing
application server to select an application server from
a federated node as the first cluster member.
- Click Next.
- Optional: If your environment requires more
than one cluster member, add additional cluster members. Repeat
the following steps for each cluster member you would like to add.
- Type server_name the
member you would like to create. For federated nodes with
multiple cluster members, you will need to know the names of each
of the members.
- Select the node for the cluster member.
- Select Generate unique HTTP ports.
- Click Add member to add the cluster
member.
- Click Next.
- Click Finish.
- Click Save to
save changes to the master configuration.
- Click OK.
What to do next
You must create a proxy server and associate the proxy
server with the cluster that you have created. Because IBM® XDMS supports
both Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and HTTP, you will need a WebSphere Application Server proxy
server that supports HTTP and SIP requests. Refer to the WebSphere Application Server Information
Center for additional information on setting up the proxy server.
Note: Once
you have created the proxy server you need to disable page caching
for the HTTP proxy.
