Federating stand-alone servers to a deployment manager

This topic describes how to federate IBM WebSphere Process Server, Version 6.0, stand-alone servers to a deployment manager.

Before you begin

Ensure you have installed WebSphere Process Server, Version 6.0, and that you have created a deployment manager and a stand-alone server.

Why and when to perform this task

Use the addNode command to federate a stand-alone server into a deployment manager cell by doing the following.

Steps for this task

  1. Start the deployment manager. Start the deployment manager either by selecting Start the deployment manager from its First Steps console or by entering the following command (where profile_root represents the installation location of the deployment manager profile, by default, install_root/profiles/deployment_manager_profile_name on Linux and UNIX platforms and install_root\profiles\deployment_manager_profile_name on Windows platforms):
    • On Linux platforms:On UNIX systems: On Linux and UNIX platforms: profile_root/bin/startManager.sh
    • On Windows platforms: On Windows platforms (from a command line): profile_root\bin\startManager.bat
  2. Go to the bin directory of the stand-alone server you want to federate. Open a command window and go to one of the following directories, depending on platform (where profile_root represents the installation location of the stand-alone server profile, by default, install_root/profiles/profile_name on Linux and UNIX platforms and install_root\profiles\profile_name on Windows platforms):
    • On Linux platforms:On UNIX systems: On Linux and UNIX platforms: profile_root/bin
    • On Windows platforms: On Windows platforms (from a command line): profile_root\bin
  3. Issue the addNode command. Issue one of following commands, depending on platform:
    • On Linux platforms:On UNIX systems: On Linux and UNIX platforms: ./addNode.sh deployment_manager_host deployment_manager_SOAP_port
    • On Windows platforms: On Windows platforms (from a command line): addNode.bat deployment_manager_host deployment_manager_SOAP_port
    An output window opens. If you see a message similar to the following, your stand-alone server was federated successfully:
    ADMU0003I: Node DMNDID2Node02 has been successfully federated.

Result

The stand-alone server is federated into the deployment manager. See the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, Version 6.0, information center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ws60help/index.jsp for more information on the addNode command.
