Synchronizing and restarting nodes in the Bandwidth Manager cluster

Synchronize the nodes in an IBM® WebSphere® Application Server network deployment to update the Deployment Manager and nodes with updated configuration information.

About this task

Stop and start the Deployment Manager, then synchronize the nodes, and restart the cluster.

Procedure

  1. On the cluster's deployment manager, log in to the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console as the WebSphere administrator.
  2. Stop the Bandwidth Manager application servers, by entering these commands on Node 2:

    /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/BWMAppSrv02/bin ./stopServer.sh BWMserver2

    on /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/BWMAppSrv02/bin ./stopNode.sh

  3. Stop the Bandwidth Manager application servers and the deployment manager on Node one by entering these commands in the order shown here:

    /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/BWMAppSrv01/bin ./stopServer.sh BWMserver1

    /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/BWMAppSrv01/bin ./stopNode.sh

    /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/Dmgr01/bin ./stopManager.sh dmgr

  4. Stop the deployment manager:
    1. Click System Administration > Deployment manager.
    2. Click the "Configuration" tab.
    3. On the Configuration tab of the deployment manager settings, click Stop.
  5. Now start the deployment manager by completing these steps:
    1. Do one of these according to the platform you are using:
      • Linux™: Open a command window and navigate to the app_server_root/profiles/DeploymentManagerName/bin directory.
      • Windows™: Open a command window and navigate to the app_server_root\profiles\DeploymentManagerName\bin directory.
    2. Run the following command:
      • Linux: ./startManager.sh
      • Microsoft™ Windows: startManager.bat
  6. Log in to the Integrated Solutions Console as the WebSphere administrator.
  7. Wait until the nodes have all started. Then follow these steps to synchronize all the nodes:
    1. Click System Administration > Nodes.
    2. Select all nodes in the cluster.
    3. Click Full Resynchronize.
  8. Restart all nodes in the cluster:
    1. Click System Administration > Node agents.
    2. Click a node agent, and then click Restart (the node agent should already be running).
    3. Wait until the nodes have all started before proceeding to another task.
