Creating a cluster : Basic cluster member settings

Use this page to enter cluster member settings. You can create a cluster member during or after you create a cluster.

There are two ways to create cluster members:

Member name

Specifies the name of the application server that is created for the cluster.

The member name must be unique within the cell.

Select node

Specifies the node on which the application server resides.

Weight

Specifies the amount of work that is directed to the application server.

If the weight value for the server is greater than the weight values that are assigned to other servers in the cluster, the server receives a larger share of the cluster workload. The value can range from 0 to 20. Enter zero to indicate that you do not want requests to route to this application server unless this server is the only server that is available to receive requests.

Core group

Specifies the core group in which the application server resides. This field is displayed only if you have multiple core groups configured. You can change this value for the first cluster member only.

Generate unique HTTP ports

Specifies that a unique HTTP port is generated for the application server. By generating unique HTTP ports for the application server, you avoid potential port collisions and configurations that are not valid.

Select template

Specifies an application server template for the new application server.

The new application server contains identical configuration settings to the application server template.

Click Existing application server to choose from a list of application server templates. The application server that you choose becomes a template for the cluster member.

The template options are available only for the first cluster member that is created. All cluster members that you create after the first member are identical.
