Federating a Node

The federation of an application server profile requires the targeted Deployment Manager to be started.

The Deployment Manager can be started by running the following command from the profiles/<deployment manager profile name>/bin directory of the WebSphere Network Deployment installation:

startServer dmgr

To add your application server profile to the Deployment Manager node the following command is used from the profiles/<Application Server profile name>/bin directory of the WebSphere Application Server installation:

addNode <deploymgr host> <deploymgr port>

Where the <deploymgr host> and <deploymgr port> are the listen host and port for the Deployment Manager 's SOAP Connector. The SOAP Connector details can be found in the Deployment Manager Administrative Console under:

  1. Navigate to Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers;
  2. Select the relevant server from the list;
  3. Expand Ports in the Communications section and press the Details button;
  4. The required details are listed as the Host and Port for the SOAP_CONNECTOR_ADDRESS.
