About this task

Perform the following steps to create a cluster:

Procedure

  1. Identify the server to convert to a cluster and assign it to the server variable:

    Using Jacl:

    set server [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/Server:server1/]
    
    Using Jython:
    server = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/Server:server1/')
  2. Convert the existing server to a cluster by using the convertToCluster command passing in the existing server and the cluster name:

    Using Jacl:

    $AdminConfig convertToCluster $server myCluster1
    This command converts a cluster named myCluster with server1 as its member.
    Using Jython:
    print AdminConfig.convertToCluster(server, 'myCluster1')
    Example output:
    myCluster1(cells/mycell/cluster/myCluster1|cluster.xml#ClusterMember_1)
  3. Save the configuration changes. See the Saving configuration changes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.
  4. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node. See the Synchronizing nodes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.
