Install an IBM® WebSphere® Application Server
7 node to function as either the primary or a secondary node in an IBM Sametime® Bandwidth Manager
cluster. You can have one primary node and any number of secondary
nodes. Complete this procedure for each node in the cluster.
About this task
A Sametime Bandwidth
Manager cluster can support a primary node and any number of secondary
nodes. Even if you think you only need one node, you should install
two nodes now because attempting to add a secondary node later might
result in lost data.
