This section shows how to create the first cluster member and additional cluster

members.

Creating the first cluster member

To create the first cluster member:

1. Login to the Deployment Manager administrative console:

http://Deployment Manager hostname:9090/admin

2. From the left frame select Servers → Clusters → New, and specify a

Cluster Name (for example, ESS Cluster).

3. Select Prefer local enabled.

4. Select Create Replication Domain for this cluster.

5. Select the option Select an existing server to add to this cluster.

6. Choose the application server name for the server that you want to be the first

cluster member. The application servers for Synchronization Servers are

named Everyplace_Synchronization.

7. Select Create Replication Entry in this Server.

8. Click Next to get to the Create New Clustered Servers page.

On this page, you can create a second cluster member, as described in the

next section. For now, skip creating a second cluster member, and click Next.

9. Validate the information that appears in the summary page. (The Clone Type

should be existing.) Click Finish to create the WebSphere Everyplace Access

Synchronization server cluster.

10.Save the configuration.

– Member Name: Everyplace_Synchronization_A (needs to be different

than the first cluster member)

– Select Node: clusterNodeName

– Weight: 2

– HTTP Ports: Generate Unique HTTP Ports (leave this box selected)

4. Click Apply and then click Next to view the summary.

5. Validate the information that appears in the summary page. (The Existing

Server Template should be the first WebSphere Everyplace Access

Synchronization server in the cluster.)

6. Click Finish to create the WebSphere Everyplace Access Synchronization

server cluster.

7. Save the configuration changes.

When you have completed these steps, you can view the cluster topology by

selecting the Servers

→ Cluster Topology view.

The application server view lists the new server cluster members.
