WebSphere brand IBM WebSphere XML Document Management Server, Version 7.0

Adding a server to an existing IBM XDMS node

If you have a running system with a IBM® XDMS node that was defined during installation, you can add a new server instance by performing the configuration using the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console.

Before you begin
The IBM XDMS installer has been run on the new server node, and IBM XDMS Core files have been installed.
  1. Log in to the Integrated Solutions Console:
    1. 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.
    2. Enter an administrator user ID and password. (Omit the password if security is not enabled.)
    3. Click Log in.
  2. Create a new server in a cluster:
    1. In the Integrated Solutions Console, click Servers > Clusters > WebSphere application server clusters.
      Note: If you are using WebSphere® Application Server version 6.1.0.x, reach this window by clicking Servers > Clusters.
    2. Select the check box associated with the name of the cluster.
    3. Click Start.
    4. Click the existing cluster name.
    5. Under Additional Properties, click Cluster members.
    6. Click New.
    7. Specify the new server name.
    8. From the drop-down list, select the node on which you want to create the new server.
    9. Click Add Member.
    10. Click Next.
    11. Click Finish.
  3. Update the SIBus to include a new member
    1. On the deployment manager server, change directories to was_root/bin.
    2. Run the following command: ./wsadmin.sh –lang jython –f was_root/installableApps/xdms/scripts/install/xdmsMessaging.py -create -cluster cluster_name -busDataSourceJndi jndi_name. For example:
      ./wsadmin.sh –lang jython 
      –f /opt/IBM/Websphere/AppServer/installableApps/xdms/scripts/install/xdmsMessaging.py 
      -create –cluster SharedListCluster -busDataSourceJndi jdbc/xdmssib.
  4. Review the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and HTTP ports assigned to the new server in the cluster:
    1. In the navigation pane, click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers.
      Note: If you are using WebSphere Application Server version 6.1.0.x, reach this window by clicking Servers > Application servers.
    2. Click the server name, for example SharedList0.
    3. Under Communications, click Ports.
    4. Verify that SIP_DEFAULTHOST, SIP_DEFAULTHOST_SECURE, and WC_defaulthost appear in the list. Remember these port numbers, you will need them later.
    5. Also verify these values for the other new servers added to the cluster.
  5. Add definitions for virtual hosts:
    1. On the navigation panel, click Environment > Virtual Hosts.
    2. Click default_host.
    3. Under Additional Properties, click Host Aliases to display a list of port numbers.
    4. Verify that the port numbers collected in step 4 are specified in the list of ports.
    5. Click New to create the missing port.
    6. Type the port number in the Port field.
    7. Click OK.
    8. Add additional ports until all port numbers are listed.
  6. For Oracle setup only, adjust the JVM settings by following the steps in the topic Configuring IBM XDMS to work with Oracle Database.
  7. Stop and restart the application server, nodes, and deployment manager.
