Set up servers and clusters using the administrative console

After you perform a custom installation and create the dmgr and custom (managed node) profiles, you can create the servers and clusters required for an ND environment using the administrative console.

Tip: Consider using the Deployment Environment wizard to create your ND environment. Any operation that you can perform from the administrative console can also be performed with wsadmin. Additionally, command assistance is available for a subset of administrative console actions. When available, command assistance displays the wsadmin scripting command for the last console action that you performed.

  The following instructions explain how to create a cluster with one cluster member. The benefit of using the administrative console to create a cluster is that you can undo your changes as you go and you can use a graphical user interface.
• Create a new server
  Most installations require several servers to handle the application-serving needs of the production environment. You can use the command-line tool or the administrative console to create the servers you need.
