Federating a secondary node running on Windows™ to an IBM® Sametime® Bandwidth Manager
cluster allows a central point of administration for the network deployment.
Federate the primary node and the secondary node using this procedure.
Before you begin
Expected state: the deployment manager is running.
About this task
Follow these steps to federate a primary node and a secondary
node to a Bandwidth Manager cluster. This procedure is located with
the information pertaining to secondary nodes because it is easiest
to federate both nodes at this time.
Procedure
- Set the system clock to exactly the same time as the deployment
manager's system clock.
- Ping the deployment manager node from the secondary node
to make sure the host name is resolvable.
- On the secondary node, open a command window and navigate
to the
bwm_profile_root\bin
directory.
- Run the following command to add the secondary node to
the deployment manager's cell:
addNode.bat DM_hostname DM_port_number -includeapps
Where DM_hostname is
the host name of the deployment manager server. For example:
addNode.bat bwm_dm.example.com 8879 -includeapps
Port
8879 is the default port on which the deployment manager listens.
Note: After
upgrading, the default port on which the deployment manager listens
changes. The list of default ports can be found in the bwm_profile_root\logs\AboutThisProfile.txt file
for the deployment manager profile.
- When prompted, provide the deployment manager's administrative
user ID and password. Click OK.
Wait
for the operation to complete before proceeding. Look for a success
message similar to the following when complete:
Node MyserverNodeSecondary has been successfully federated.
- To verify that the secondary node has joined the deployment
manager's cell, log into the Integrated Solutions Console using your
administrative user ID and password. Click Log in.
- Click . Make sure you can see the deployment manager server
and the secondary node's information.
If you already
logged in, you must log out and then log in again before you can see
changes.
- If you have not yet federated the primary node, repeat
this procedure to do so. If you have additional Bandwidth Manager
application servers, repeat this procedure for each additional server.
