Configure the IBM® HTTP
server or a server of your choice to allow communication between managed
nodes and the deployment manager.
Before you begin
Create and configure a deployment manager and associated nodes.
About this task
The managed nodes and the deployment manager must be able
to communicate with each other, so the host name alias for each node
in the deployment target cluster must be visible to the deployment
manager. The host name alias consists of the DNS host name and port
number. You use this alias as part of a URL to access applications
when they are running on the deployment target.
Note: This
procedure uses two application cluster members that are referred to
as AppCluster_member1 and AppCluster_member2. Substitute your server
names in the instructions.
Procedure
- From the administrative console,
navigate to .
- Click the name.
- Under the Communications heading,
expand Ports and note the port value listed
for WC_defaulthost. You will need to use it later.
- Repeat steps 1 through 3, for every
cluster member. Repeat this for each additional application cluster
member.
When you are finished, you will have a
list of the cluster members and the port numbers for their default
host.
- From the administrative console, navigate to .
- Under Additional Properties, click Host
aliases.
- If an entry for the correct combination of host name and
port value for cluster members is not displayed, add the missing entries
to the list.
- If you added new entries to the list, click Save and
then Synchronize.
