The core group bridge service can be configured for communication
between core groups. A core group is a statically defined component of the
high availability manager. To configure communication between core groups,
use an access point group. An access point group is a collection of core
groups that communicate with each other.
Before you begin
Review the following topics before you configure a core group bridge
service:
About this task
You must configure the core group bridge service whenever two or
more core groups are configured in the same cell. You can also configure the
core group bridge to share traffic among core groups that are in different
cells. Configure the core group bridge to communicate between cells only when
the service is required by another WebSphere Application Server component.
By configuring the core group bridge service, the availability status of the
servers in each core group is shared among all the configured core groups.
You can configure core groups to communicate in the following ways:
Procedure
- Use the core group bridge for communication between core groups
that are in different cells. Configuring this type of communication
is the most common core group scenario. You can configure each cell to communicate
with one or more other cells.
- Use advanced configurations. You might need to configure
core group communication between core groups that are in the same cell, that
communicate across different networks, or that use a proxy peer.
Results
Multiple core groups can communicate with each other.
What to do next
Continue configuring the high availability environment.
