4.5.1 Adding (federating) a node

When you add a node to a cell, the node can be an existing stand-alone appserver, or it can be a custom node profile that you have not federated yet.

A custom profile defines a node that can be federated during profile creation, or later using the addNode command. For an example of federating a custom profile during profile creation, see 3.3.4, Creating a custom profile. For an example of using addNode to federate a custom profile, see 3.3.5, Federating a custom node to a cell.

If you are adding a stand-alone appserver installation to a cell, you can do this from the deployment manager console, or use the addNode command from the node installation. The following examples illustrate using these methods to federate an appserver profile to the cell.
