Manage node groups

This task discusses how to create and manage node groups.

Read about Nodes groups if we are unfamiliar with them. Your WAS environment has a default node group. However, if we need additional node groups to manage the appserver environment, we can create and configure additional node groups. We can delete a node group as long as it is not a default node group.

 

• View and configure node groups.

  1. Click System Administration > Node groups

  2. To view additional information about a particular node group or to further configure a node group, click on the node group name under Name.

• Create a node group.

  1. Click System Administration > Node groups

  2. Click New.

  3. Specify the node group name and description.

  The node group is added to the WAS environment . The name of the node group appears in the name column of the Node group page.

  We can now add nodes to the node group. See Manage nodes and Managing node group members for information on how to add the nodes.

• Delete a node group if the node group is not the default node group.

  1. If the node group contains members, delete the members:

     1. Click System Administration > Node groups

     2. Under Name, click the node group whose members you want to delete.

     3. Click Node group members.

     4. Select all the node group members.

     5. Click Remove.

  2. Click System Administration > Node groups.

  3. Select an empty node group.

  4. Click delete.
