Configure host aliases
Configure the IBM HTTP server or a server of your choice to allow communication between managed nodes and the dmgr.
Create and configure a dmgr and associated nodes.
The managed nodes and the dmgr must be able to communicate with each other, so the host name alias for each node in the deployment target cluster must be visible to the dmgr. The host name alias consists of the DNS host name and port number. You use this alias as part of a URL to access applications when they are running on the deployment target.
This procedure uses two application cluster members that are referred to as AppCluster_member1 and AppCluster_member2. Substitute your server names in the instructions.
Procedure
- From the administrative console, navigate to Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > AppCluster_member1.
- Click the name.
- Under the Communications heading, expand Ports and note the port value listed for WC_defaulthost. You will need to use it later.
- Repeat steps 1 through 3, for every cluster member. Repeat this for each additional application cluster member.
When you are finished, you will have a list of the cluster members and the port numbers for their default host.
- From the administrative console, navigate to Environment > Virtual Hosts > default_host.
- Under Additional Properties, click Host Aliases.
- If an entry for the correct combination of host name and port value for cluster members is not displayed, add the missing entries to the list.
- If you added new entries to the list, click Save and then Synchronize.
