Create a middleware server
Use this page to create a middleware server. Middleware servers
are servers in the middleware tier that host applications or their data.
To view this administrative console page, click Servers > All servers
> New.
You must have administrator privileges to create middleware servers. For
other administrative roles and privileges information, see the Reference section
in the information center.
- Add a server
Create a new server instance or add an existing middleware server. You
can create a new server instance for server types that WebSphere Extended
Deployment can create. These servers have complete life cycle management.
If you created the middleware server outside of the administrative console,
you can install the middleware agent on that server and add the existing server
to the cell. This action creates a representation of the server in the administrative
console that you can use to manage the externally created server. These servers
have assisted life cycle management.
