Clustering Sametime Bandwidth Managers
Deploy and cluster IBM® Sametime® Bandwidth Manager servers using IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.
About this task
Unlike other Sametime servers, the Sametime Bandwidth Manager cannot use the Sametime System Console as a deployment manager. When deploying a cluster of Bandwidth Managers, you must install a dedicated deployment manager for the cluster; you can optionally host it on the same computer as the cluster's primary node. This release of the Bandwidth Manager supports two nodes connected to a deployment manager.
Note: Even
if you think you only need one node, you should install two nodes
now and federate them to the cell. Attempting to add a second federated
node later may result in lost data.

Bandwidth Manager section of this documentation.
