Planning to federate a stand-alone server into a Network Deployment cell

Before you begin

You must have configured a Network Deployment cell (and deployment manager) and a stand-alone application server. The two need to have a common security domain and reside within the same z/OS sysplex.

About this task

Federate an existing stand-alone application server node into a Network Deployment cell in order to add application servers to the cell. The Deployment Manager needs to be at an equal or higher service level than the node being federated.

The cell structure and location service daemon for the stand-alone application server are discarded. The stand-alone application server node and its application servers become a new node in the Network Deployment cell. The stand-alone application server's configuration file system and home directory stay in use, but are modified to reflect the new cell name. New symbolic links for use during server startup are added.

Procedure

  1. Print a copy of Customization Dialog worksheet: Federating an application server node.
  2. Fill out the worksheet as described in Customization Dialog variables: Federating an application server node.
  3. Save the worksheet for use during federated application server node customization.
