Before you add WebSphere Application Server profiles, ensure
that the Deployment Manager is running. Also ensure that you can
connect to the Deployment Manager from the WebSphere Application
Server instance by using the name of the Deployment Manager as well
as the IP address.
Important: Before you add WebSphere Application Server
profiles, ensure that the system clocks of all WebSphere Application
Server instances are synchronized.
To add a custom profile to the Deployment Manager:If the Deployment Manager is not running, navigate to the
bin directory of the Deployment Manager Profile and run the appropriate
script:
If
you installed WebSphere Application Server using the Cell (deployment manager and a managed node) option,
navigate to the directory [appserver root]/profiles/<profile_name>/bin
and start the node agent by running the appropriate command:
Note: You do not need to execute startNode.bat or startNode.sh for
the application server node profile unless the node is added to
the cell . After this node is added to the cell, you can start the
node by executing the appropriate startNode command.
For information on adding nodes to a cell, refer to step 3. Run startNode.bat or startNode.sh only
for the managed node installed with the Deployment Manager.
From a command prompt, navigate to the [profiles root]/<profile name>/bin directory
of the WebSphere Application Server instance you want to add.
Run the addNode script by using the computer
name as a parameter; for example, type this text:
Note: The dmgr_host argument is required.
All of the other arguments are optional. The default port number
is 8879 for the default SOAP port of the deployment manager. For
more information, see this article in the WebSphere Application Server documentation.
In
addition to federating the node to the cell, addNode also
starts the node agent process. After the node is federated to a
cell, the node agent is started with the startNode command,
which is also located in the bin directory of the WebSphere Application
Server profile. During this process, the node being federated communicates
to the Deployment Manager by using port 8879 by default.
It
is a good practice to add the node agent as an operating system
daemon process in UNIX. You can add the node agent as a service
in Windows by using WASService, which is available
in the bin directory of the base application server installation.
