To set up a backup cluster...

1. Go to the primary cell's WAS console. Click...

   System administration  | Deployment manager  | Ports

   From the list of available ports, check the port number and host name for the BOOTSTRAP_ADDRESS port.

2. Go to the backup cell's WAS console. Click...

   System administration  | Deployment manager  | Ports

   From the list of available ports, check the port number and host name for the BOOTSTRAP_ADDRESS port.

3. Return to the primary cell's WAS console. Click...

   Servers  | Clusters  | Cluster_name  | Backup cluster

   Ensure that the name of the backup cluster is the same as the primary cluster.

   When using a split-JVM environment, make sure that you modify the cluster that contains the EJB modules. In our example, this cluster is wascluster01.

4. Click Domain bootstrap address. Specify the Host and Port information that you gathered in step 2 (which is the backup cell information). Click OK and save the changes.

5. Return to the backup cell's WAS console. Click...

   Servers  | Clusters  | Cluster_name  | Backup cluster

6. Click Domain bootstrap address. Specify the Host and Port that you looked up in step 1 (the primary cell information). Click OK and save the changes.

7. Restart both clusters.

The EJB clusters in the primary cell and backup cell should point to each other's Deployment Manager in their backup cluster configuration.
