Planning to federate standalone servers into a Network Deployment cells

Before you begin

You must have configured a Network Deployment cell (and deployment manager) and a standalone application server. The two need to have a common MVS™ group and user domain and reside within the same z/OS® sysplex.

About this task

Federate an existing standalone 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 standalone application server are discarded. The standalone application server node and its application servers become a new node in the Network Deployment cell. The standalone 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 the customization worksheet.
  2. Fill out the worksheet as described in z/OS customization variables: Federating application servers.
  3. Save the worksheet for use during federated application server node customization.
