        Follow these guidelines to create additional nodes for a Unica Platform cluster.
      - Adding existing nodes to the cluster nodes
        Optionally, you can add your existing WebSphere profiles as nodes in the cluster environment.
      - Creating a WebSphere cluster
        Use the WebSphere Deployment Manager profile to create the cluster.
      - Creating the web server in the cluster
        The HTTP Server can be configured to connect with the nodes in the cluster and serve as a load balancer.

      - Configure property to control the Scheduler in a clustered environment
        In a clustered environment, the various instances of the IBM EMM Scheduler provided by Unica Platform all run scheduling tasks, which can result in conflicts. To prevent the conflict, disable the Scheduler on all nodes except one.
    - Configuring Unica Platform logs in a cluster
      You can generate logs for each node where you deploy Unica Platform. You can specify different logging levels for each node in your cluster.

Starting the nodes, web server, and cluster

Start the nodes, HTTP Server, and cluster, in that order.

About this task

Before you start the WebSphere cluster from WebSphere console, start all of the nodes you created in previous steps, and start the HTTP Server. The HTTP Server is included with WebSphere at no charge.

Procedure

Start the nodes on each server by navigating to the appropriate profile under data/webservers/IBM/WASND85/profiles under your WebSphere installation and executing the startNode script.
Start the HTTP Server as follows.
1. Open the HTTP Server conf file and verify that the HTTP Server listen port is 80.
  
  The conf file is located in the conf directory under your HTTP Server installation. The typical install location is data/webservers/IBM/IHS.
  
  Look for Listen 80 in the file.
2. To start the server, navigate to the data/webservers/IBM/IHS/bin directory under your HTTP Server installation and execute this command: ./apachectl start.
1. Verify that the HTTP Server is started successfully by launching the URL of the server.
Start the cluster from WebSphere Deployment Manager as follows.
1. Navigate to Servers > Clusters > WebSphere application server cluster.
2. Select your cluster and click Start.
  If the cluster does not star, do the following.
  :
  - Verify that your cluster nodes are running on each server.
  - Verify that the application servers are started. You can navigate to cluster members and start each application server manually.
