This topic describes how to change the cell protocol information, define custom properties for the cell, and add additional nodes.
When you create a deployment manager profile, a cell is created. A cell provides a way to group one or more nodes of your Network Deployment product. You define the nodes that make up a cell, according to the specific criteria that make sense in your organizational environment. You probably do not need to configure the cell again.
Administrative configuration data is stored in XML files. A cell retains master configuration files for each server in every node in the cell. Each node and server also have their own local configuration files. Changes to a local node or to a server configuration file are temporary, if the server belongs to the cell. While in effect, local changes override cell configurations. Changes to the master server and master node configuration files made at the cell level replace any temporary changes made at the node when the cell configuration documents are synchronized to the nodes. Synchronization occurs at designated events, such as when a server starts.
To view information about and to manage a cell, use the settings page for a cell.
