Federating/ adding a custom node (profile) to cell | WebSphere Tutorial pdf

Federating/ adding a custom node (profile) to cell:

An unfederated custom profile defines a node that can be added to a cell. To federate a custom node to the cell do the following:
=> Start the deployment manager.
=> Open a command window on the syst em where you created the custom profile for the new node. Switch to the <profile_home> /bin directory by typing the following:
cd websphere\appserver\profiles\customprof1\bin
=> Run the addNode command. Here you need the host name of the deploym ent manager and the SOAP connector address
addNode <dmgrhost> <dmgr_soap_port>
=> Open the deployment manager administrative console and view the node and node agent:
– Select System Administration ’Nodes. You should see the new node.
– Select System Administration ’Node agents. You should see the new node agent and its status. It should be started. If not, check the status from a command window on the custom node system:
cd <profile_home>\bin serverStatus -all
If you find that it is not started, start it with this command:
cd <profile_home>\bin startNode

=> Creating Application servers on existing nodes:

The custom profile does not automatically give you an application server. You can follow these steps to create a new se rver once the custom profile has been federated to a cell.
=>  Ensure the custom profile node agent is started. 
=> Open the deployment manager administrative console.
=> Select Servers ’Application Servers
=> Click New.

=> Select the custom profile node and enter a server name. Click Next.
=> Select a template to use as a basis for the new application server configuration. If you haven’t previously set up a template based on an existing applic ation server, select the default template. Click Nex

=> Each application server on a node must have unique ports assigned. The next screen gives you the option of having unique ports generated for this application server, as opposed to the default set. Click Next.

=> The last screen summarizes your choices. Click Finish to create the profile.

In the messages box, click save to save the changes to the master configuration.
=> Start the application server from the administrative console.
– Select ServersàApplication Servers.
– Check the box to the left of the server and click Start.
