Configure cells
When you installed the WAS Network Deployment product, a cell was created. A cell provides a way to group one or more nodes of your Network Deployment product. You probably will not need to reconfigure the cell. To view information about and manage a cell, use the settings page for a cell.
- Access the settings page for a cell. Click System Administration > Cell from the navigation tree of the administrative console.
- (Optional) If the protocol that the cell uses to retrieve information from a network is not appropriate for your system, select the appropriate protocol. By default, a cell uses TCP. If you want the cell to use UDP, select UDP from the drop-down list for Cell Discovery Protocol on the settings page for the cell. It is unlikely that you will need to change the cell's protocol configuration from TCP.
- (Optional) Specify an end point to hold the discovery address. An end point designates a host name and port. One can specify any string; for example, my_cell_endpoint . It is unlikely that you will need to change the cell's end point configuration.
- (Optional) Click Properties and define any name-value pairs needed by your deployment manager.
- (Optional) When you installed the WAS Network Deployment product, a node was added to the cell. One can add additional nodes on the Node page. Click Nodes to access the Node page, which you use to manage nodes.
