You can use the addNode command to federate
a custom node into a deployment manager cell. The following instructions
guide you through the process of federating and deploying custom nodes.
About this task
Federate a custom node so that it can be managed by a deployment
manager. Use the
addNode command to federate a
custom profile into a deployment manager cell. To federate a custom
profile, perform the following steps.
Procedure
- Go to the bin directory of the custom
profile you want to federate. Open a command window and
go to one of the following directories (from a command line), depending
on platform (where profile_root represents the
installation location of the custom profile):
profile_root/bin

profile_root/bin
profile_root\bin
- Issue the addNode command.
Issue
one of the following commands from the command line if security is
not enabled:
addNode deployment_manager_host deployment_manager_SOAP_port

./addNode.sh deployment_manager_host deployment_manager_SOAP_port
addNode.bat deployment_manager_host deployment_manager_SOAP_port
Issue one of the following commands from the command line if
security is enabled:
addNode deployment_manager_host deployment_manager_SOAP_port -username userID_for_authentication -password password_for_authentication

./addNode.sh deployment_manager_host deployment_manager_SOAP_port -username userID_for_authentication -password password_for_authentication
addNode.bat deployment_manager_host deployment_manager_SOAP_port -username userID_for_authentication -password password_for_authentication
An output window opens. If you see a message
similar to the following message, your custom profile was federated
successfully:ADMU0003I: Node DMNDID2Node03 has been successfully federated.
Results
The custom profile is federated into the deployment manager.
For more information on the addNode command and
its parameters, see the topic addNode command in the WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment, version 6.1.x, information center.
What to do next
After federating the custom profile,
go to the administrative console of the deployment manager to customize
the empty node or to create a new application server.
