to the application that can be managed autonomically. The dynamic cluster
can expand and contract depending on the needs of the dynamic operations environment.

and have access to an application for installation. Configure a dynamic cluster.You must have a node group and dynamic cluster that
are configured and associated with one another. You must know the specific
cell and dynamic cluster on which you want to deploy.
