After you create the primary node add the primary node
to the deployment manager's cell on IBM® i.
Adding the primary node to the cell allows a central point of administration
for the network deployment by using the deployment manager's Integrated
Solutions Console. You will not be able log into the primary node's
Integrated Solutions Console after this step.
Before you begin
Expected state: the deployment manager is running.
About this task
For additional information about default paths, see Directory conventions.
Procedure
- Make sure that the system clocks on the deployment manager
and the primary node are within five minutes of each other and set
for the same timezone. Federation fails if the clocks are not synchronized
within five minutes.
- Ping the deployment manager node from the primary node
to make sure the host name is resolvable.
- Log in to the IBM i
system where the deployment manager node is installed as a user with
administrative privileges.
- On the IBM i command
line, run the STRQSH (Start Qshell) command.
- Navigate to the
profile_root\bin
directory
for the deployment manager profile. - Run the following command to obtain the SOAP_CONNECTOR_ADDRESS port
number. Make a note of the port number as you will need it to add
nodes to the cluster:
- Log in to the IBM i
system, where the primary node is installed, with administrative privileges.
- On the IBM i command
line, run the STRQSH (Start Qshell) command.
- Navigate to the
profile_root\bin
directory
for the primary node profile. - Run the following command to add the primary node to the
deployment manager's cell:
addNode DM_server_host_name DM_SOAP_port -includeapps
-username WAS_Admin_user_name_on_DM_on_DM -password WAS_Admin_password_on_DM
Where:
- DM_server_host_name is the resolvable host
name of the deployment manager.
- DM_SOAP_port is the port that the deployment
manager's SOAP port is listening on.
- WAS_Admin_username_on_DM is the user ID of
the WebSphere® Application
Server administrator account on the deployment manager.
- WAS_Admin_password_on_DM is the password associated
with that WebSphere Application
Server administrator account on the deployment manager.
For example:
addNode gateway_dm.acme.com 8880 -includeapps -username wasadmin -password waspassword
- When prompted, provide the deployment manager's administrative
user ID and password.
Wait for the operation to complete
before proceeding. Look for a success message similar to the following
when complete:
Node MyserverNodePrimary has been successfully federated.
- To verify that the primary node has joined the deployment
manager's cell, log into the Integrated Solutions Console (http://localhost:9060/ibm/console)
using your administrative user ID and password and click . Make sure you can see the primary node's information.
If you already logged in, you must log out and then log in
again before you can see changes.
