Node Groups | WebSphere Tutorial pdf for beginners

Node Groups:

A default node group called DefaultNodeGroup is automatically created for you when the deployment manager is created, based on the deployment manager platform. New nodes on similar platforms are automatically added to the default group. A node must belong to at least one node group, but can belong to more than one. However, before adding a node on a platform that does not have the same capabilities as the deployment manager platform, you will need to create the new node group.
Working with node groups
You can display the default node group and its members by selecting System Administration
-->Node Groups.
- To create a new node group, click New. The only thing you need to enter is the name of the new node group. Click OK.
- To delete a node group, check the box to the left of the node group name and select Delete.
- To display a node group, click the node group name. For example, we have displayed the  DefaultNodeGroup .

- To add a node to a node group, display the node group and click Node group members in the Additional Properties section. When the list appears, select Add. You will be able to select from a list of nodes.
