Select Create the cluster member using a server template to model
the servers for the dynamic cluster after a defined server template. Choose

The following list describes the templates
for application servers:
The defaultXD template is the default template
for WebSphere Extended Deployment. Use this template when you are creating
a dynamic cluster on distributed platforms.
Use the defaultXDZOS template when
creating a dynamic cluster on the z/OS operating system.
The default template is the WebSphere Application Server Version
6 or higher template. This template is identical to the defaultXD template
except that the Web container thread pool maximum size is 50 in the default
template and is 500 in the defaultXD template.
The DeveloperServer template is a default template that you can
use when you are developing your applications.
The default_5X template is the default WebSphere
Application Server Version 5 or higher template.
The default WebSphere Application Server templates are
the defaultZOS template for Version 6 or higher, and
the defaultZOS_5X template for Version 5 or higher.
You can also specify a template for middleware servers
with complete lifecycle management, such as PHP and
WebSphere Application Server Community Edition servers. Predefined templates
exist that you can use in your dynamic cluster, or you can create your own
server template. To create your own server template, click Servers > All
servers > Templates... > New.
Select Create the cluster member using an existing server as a template to
model the servers for the dynamic cluster after an existing application server.
Choose a server from the list.
The templates that display correspond to the platform
and product version of your deployment manager.
