To add servers into installed IBM Docs for workload
balancing, for Docs and Conversion servers you need to add new cluster
members into the cluster, and then run install_node.bat or install_node.sh on
the new added machines. For Viewer and Proxy servers, you only need
to add new cluster members.
Procedure
- See Installing WebSphere Application Server to
federate a new created node into the Deployment Manager.
- In the administrative console, click (for Proxy, click ).
- Click New to start the Create
a new cluster member wizard. Follow the wizard to add a
new cluster member into the cluster, make sure you are using the new federated
node.
- In the administrative console, click , select the checkbox before the new added nodes, and
then click the Synchronize button.
-
For Docs and Conversion, copy the script installers
(DocsApp_2.0.0/DocsConversion_2.0.0) to the new added
machines, follow the guide to configure cfg.node.propertis, and then run the
install_node.sh file on Linux or install_node.bat on
Windows from the installation directory.
Note: For Viewer and Proxy, you do not need to perform step 5.
Steps to configure
cfg.node.propertis:
-
Copy the content in cfg.properties to the
cfg.node.properties file to replace existing content.
-
Open the cfg.node.properties file to modify properties:
- Change docs_install_root to the installation directory of IBM Docs on the
Docs nodes.
