Cluster Naming

Use the Cluster Naming page to customize the names of clusters or cluster members.

For the Deployment Environment Configuration wizard: Servers > Deployment Environments and complete each preceding configuration page.

The Cluster Naming page applies to the cluster type (for example, Application Deployment Target, Messaging Infrastructure, Supporting Infrastructure) that you are configuring for the deployment environment.

The page includes information on the following fields:
Cluster
A read-only field displaying the functional role of the cluster.
The value varies depending on the cluster type, as follows:
  • Application Deployment Target
  • Supporting Infrastructure
  • Messaging Infrastructure
  • Web Applications
Cluster Name
Contains the system-generated default value for the cluster name.
The default value is based on a naming convention of <Deployment Environment Name>.<Cluster type name>, where cluster type name is one of the following values:
  • AppTarget

    For clusters performing the role of application deployment target

  • Messaging

    For clusters performing the role of messaging infrastructure

  • Support

    For clusters performing the role of supporting infrastructure

  • Web
    For clusters performing the role of supporting web applications.
    Note: This cluster type name applies for BPM configurations in which WebSphere Monitor is the primary feature / product.

The table lists the cluster members that are part of the cluster you are configuring. The number of cluster member names that display in the table match the number of cluster members that you entered for the cluster type column and node row on the Clusters page.

Column headings and row content are as follows:

Node Name
The Node for the deployment environment that you are creating.
Cluster Member Name
Specifies the system-generated default value for the cluster member name.

Accept the system-generated default value or specify a name of your choosing. The default value for the cluster member name is based on the following convention: <cluster name>.<node name>.<node number sequence> .
