WebSphere brand IBM WebSphere XML Document Management Server, Version 7.0

Creating the Aggregation Proxy cluster

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:

  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. 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.
  3. Click New.
  4. Type AggProxyCluster for the Cluster name.
    Note: Cluster names cannot include the hyphen (-) character.
  5. Select Prefer local.
  6. Click Next.
  7. Type the Member name. This is the fully qualified host name of additional WebSphere Application Server servers being added as cluster members.
  8. Select Generate unique HTTP ports.
  9. 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.
  10. Click Next.
  11. 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.
    1. 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.
    2. Select the node for the cluster member.
    3. Select Generate unique HTTP ports.
    4. Click Add member to add the cluster member.
  12. Click Next.
  13. Click Finish.
  14. Click Save to save changes to the master configuration.
  15. 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.
