WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus for z/OS, Version 6.2.0 Operating Systems: z/OS


Creating a cluster

You can use the administrative console to create a cluster with one cluster member in an empty managed node. The benefit of using the administrative console to create the cluster is that you can undo your changes as you go, and you can use a graphical user interface. It is good practice to create a cluster because it makes it easier to develop the cluster later. For example, you can add more servers to clusters for reasons of scalability.

Before you begin

Before you create a cluster, start the deployment manager and the node agent for the managed node.

See Starting a server from the MVS console for more information.

Procedure
  1. Log in to the administrative console and navigate to Servers > Clusters.
  2. Click New.
  3. Type a name for the cluster, and type a short name. For guidance see Application server naming convention plan strategy in the WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS information center.
  4. Click Next.
  5. Type the cluster member names for the server.
  6. From the Select node list, select the node in which you want to define the server.
  7. Type the short name for the server.
  8. Select the button to create the member using an application server template.
  9. Select defaultESBServerZOS from the drop-down list as the application server template with which to create the cluster member.
  10. Click Next. A blank form is displayed, which you can use to define a second cluster member. The server you have just created is listed at the bottom of the screen.
  11. Click Next.
  12. Check the details on the summary screen and click Finish.
  13. Save your changes, ensuring that you synchronise the changes with the nodes. The cluster you have just created is displayed in the list.
  14. Customize the port numbers to suit your configuration, and if necessary the virtual host ports. See techdoc TD104066 for directions, and for a jython script to assist you. See Creating new Application Servers in WAS V6.1 for z/OS®.

Results

The cluster is created with your chosen server in the managed node as the first cluster member.

What to do next

You can now configure SCA support for a server or cluster. See Configuring SCA support for a server or cluster. You can then optionally configure additional Business Process Management components, for example Business Process Choreographer, as described in the Configuring the software section. See Configuring the software.
