Planning for new managed (custom) nodes
This part of the configuration process creates an application server node structure, a node agent (for node administration), and a location service daemon (if one does not already exist) for the chosen z/OS® system.
Before you begin
You need to have already configured a Network Deployment cell and deployment manager.
About this task
Create a new managed node in a Network Deployment cell in order to add application servers to the cell.
This part of the configuration process creates an application server node structure, a node agent (for node administration), and a location service daemon (if one does not already exist) for the chosen z/OS system. This can be the same z/OS system on which the deployment manager was configured or a different z/OS system in the same sysplex. Once the managed node is created and federated into the Network Deployment cell, add application servers using the administrative console or scripting. You can use the configuration file system and user IDs created for the managed server node for the application servers in the node as well.
Procedure
- Print a copy of the customization worksheet.
- Fill out the worksheet as described in z/OS customization variables: Managed (custom) nodes.
- Save the worksheet for use during managed node customization.
