Generating a plugin-cfg.xml

In order for traffic to be distributed between two or more cells, the HTTP server which fronts the ODRs must be configured to route to the ODRs in all cells.

About this task

The HTTP server which fronts the ODRs must be configured to route to the ODRs in all cells.

Procedure

  1. Generate a new plugin-cfg.xml file for each of the involved cells. Following are the two options for doing this:
    1. Generate the plug-in configuration in a high availability environment. This ensures that, despite the other processes available, the configuration is always generated by one process in the cell. See Generating the plug-in configuration in a high availability environment for details.
    2. Automatically generate the plugin using an ODR in the cell. You must override the default attributes and ensure that they are all on cell-wide scope. See Configuring an on demand router to dynamically update the Web server plug-in configuration for details.
  2. Merge the plugin-cfg.xml files into one plugin-cfg.xml file by using the plug-in tool merge tool. See the pluginMergebat|.sh script topic to learn how to use the tool.
  3. Install the new plugin-cfg.xml on the IBM HTTP Server. See Configuring custom HTTP servers for details.
