Cell settings

Use this page to set the discovery protocol and address end point for an existing cell. A cell is a configuration concept, a way for an administrator to logically associate nodes according to whatever criteria make sense in the administrator's organizational environment.

To view this administrative console page, click System Administration > Cell.

Configuration tab

Name
Specifies the name of the existing cell.

A cell name must be unique in any circumstance in which the product is running on the same physical machine or cluster of machines (such as a sysplex). Additionally, a cell name must be unique in any circumstance in which network connectivity between entities is required either between the cells or from a client that must communicate with each of the cells. Cell names also must be unique if their name spaces are going to be federated. Otherwise, you might encounter symptoms such as a javax.naming.NameNotFoundException, in which case, you will need to create uniquely named cells.

Data type String
Short Name
Specifies the short name of the cell. The name is 1-8 characters, alpha-numeric or national language. It cannot start with a numeric.

The short name property is read only. It was defined during installation and customization.

Cell Discovery Protocol
Specifies the protocol that the cell follows to retrieve information from a network.

Select one of these protocol options:

UDP
User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
TCP
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
Data type String
Default TCP
