Before installing applications, you can create a cluster
and add cluster members for each enabler using the Integrated Solutions Console.
Before you begin
Before installing each application,
you must have the following software 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
- Prepared the environment
About this task
Create a cluster for each enabler, and add members
by completing the following steps:
Note: The enablers you are
able to install are: Shared Profile, Shared Policy, Shared Group,
Shared List, and Presence Rules (Shared List and Presence Rules are
required for use with IBM® WebSphere Presence Server).
- Start the deployment manager.
- Start the node agent.
- 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 the cluster name, for example SharedListCluster.
Note: Cluster names cannot include
the hyphen (-) character.
- Select Prefer local.
- Select Configure HTTP session memory-to-memory
replication.
- Click Next.
- Type server_name in the Member
name field. This is the fully qualified host
name of additional WebSphere Application Server servers
being added as cluster members – for example, SharedList0.
- Select Generate unique HTTP ports.
- Select the appropriate option for Select basis
for first cluster member for your environment. For
example, select Create the member using an application
server template to create a new application server using
the existing default template.
- 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 in the Member
name field. This is the fully-qualified host
name of additional WebSphere Application Server servers
being added as cluster members – for example, SharedList1.
- Select the node for the cluster member.
- Select Generate unique HTTP ports.
- Click Add Member to add the cluster
member.
- Click Next, and 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.
