Adding a node to the deployment manager profile

You can add WebSphere Application Server nodes to the cell which your deployment manager profile is managing.

Before you begin

This article assumes that you are working on the iSeries server that hosts your WebSphere Application Server node.

About this task

Use the addNode command to add WebSphere Application Server nodes to the cell which your deployment manager profile is managing.

Procedure

  1. Run the Start Qshell (STRQSH) command from a Control Language (CL) command line.
  2. At the Qshell prompt, issue the addNode command.

    Specify the host name and Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) port for the deployment manager. For example:

     app_server_root/bin/addNode
       host_name 
       soap_port 
       -includeapps

    The host_name variable is the host name of the server on which you installed the Network Deployment product. The soap_port variable is the SOAP port for the deployment manager profile. For the deployment manager profile, the default soap port is 8879.

    By default, any applications installed on the application server profile are removed from the application server profile when it is added to a cell. If this is the only node that you are adding, or if you know that there are no conflicts with applications installed on other nodes, you can specify the -includeapps parameter when invoking the addNode command. When this parameter is specified, the addNode command does not remove any installed applications.

    The host_name and the soap_port variables are positional and must be the first two parameters. Additional parameters such as -includeapps must be specified after the soap_port value.

    For more information about the addNode command, see addNode command.

Results

The addNode command creates a new server, the node agent, under the application server profile being added to the Network Deployment domain. The nodeagent server is started as a side effect of adding the node to the domain.

What to do next

Repeat the previous steps for each node (or application server profile) that you want to manage using your deployment manager profile.

Verify that the node agent is running after adding the node, as described in Verifying that the node agent is running.
