Why and when to perform this task
You can create a new application server using the wsadmin tool or the Create New Application Server page of the administrative console. On the Network Deployment product, you can also create a new application server when you add a cluster member to a server cluster.
Note: For the Base WebSphere Application Server product, although you can use the administrative console to create a new server definition, you cannot use it to start, stop or, in any way, control or manage that server. The Base product administrative console can only be used to create server definitions and, if necessary, adjust the server definitions that it creates. To manage Base application servers, use the wasadmin tool or the command line tools such as startServer and stopServer.
For the Base WebSphere Application Server product, you must manage each application server from the console that is hosted by that application server process.
The steps below describe how to use the Create New Application Server page.Steps for this task
Results
The new application server appears in the list of servers on the Application Servers page.What to do next
Note that the application server created has many default values specified for it. An application server has many properties that can be set and creating an application server on the Create New Application Server page specifies values for only a few of the important properties. To view all of the properties of your application server and to customize your application server further, click on the name of your application server on the Application Servers page and change the settings for your application server as needed.
