Step 1: Select the dynamic cluster server type

Use this step to specify the server type and name for your new dynamic cluster.

To access this administrative console page, click Servers > Dynamic clusters > New.

Server type

Specifies the types of servers that are in the dynamic cluster.

WebSphere Application Server
Specifies that the dynamic cluster contains application servers that are running WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Extended Deployment.
Apache server
Specifies that the dynamic cluster contains Apache servers.
Custom HTTP server
Specifies that the dynamic cluster contains HTTP servers.
JBoss server
Specifies that the dynamic cluster contains servers that are running JBoss Application Server.

WebSphere Application Server Community Edition server
Specifies that the dynamic cluster contains servers that are running WebSphere Application Server Community Edition.
BEA WebLogic server

External WebSphere Application Servers
Specifies that the dynamic cluster contains servers that are in other cells. These cells might be running other versions of WebSphere Application Server, such as Version 5.1 or 6.0. You can map these static clusters to a dynamic cluster.
Dynamic cluster name

Specifies a name for the dynamic cluster. The name must be unique among all clusters in the cell. If you are creating a dynamic cluster that is made of application servers, you specify the name in a later step.

The name field cannot contain the following characters: # \ / , : ; " * ? < > | = + & % ' . The name cannot begin with a period (.) or a space. A space does not generate an error, but leading and trailing spaces are automatically deleted.
