Configuring a WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment load-balanced cluster

You can configure IBM® HTTP Server and WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment together to create a load-balanced cluster for improved performance and scalability. This type of cluster is a common deployment configuration for products that are based on Tivoli®'s process automation engine.

About this task

The following points are important to remember when you configure a WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment cluster:
  • Memory-to-memory replication must not be selected while you are creating clusters.
  • The virtual hosts are updated with the ports assigned to the cluster members and IBM HTTP Server.
  • The product application must be deployed on the cluster and on the web server level.
  • Ensure that application server security is enabled.

Procedure

  1. Set up a WebSphere Application Server load-balanced cluster with the application servers as members.
  2. Optional: Configure a shared disk for the cluster.
  3. Optional: Configure attached documents.
