Nominating bootstrap members for a bus

We can nominate one or more servers and clusters on cell nodes as bootstrap members for a selected bus. When the Bus members and nominated bootstrap members policy is configured for the bus, the nominated bootstrap members can service requests from client applications to connect to the bus.

Mixed-version environment: We must ensure that the following requirements are met:

• If the bus is in a mixed-version cell, the deployment manager must be at a Version 7.0 or later level.

• The servers and clusters to nominate as bootstrap members must be on Version 7.0 or later cell nodes.

.

In this task, you use an console wizard to configure the Bus members and nominated bootstrap members policy, and nominate bootstrap members for a selected bus.

1. Log onto the console.

2. Click Service integration -> Buses -> bus_name -> [Topology] Bootstrap members. The Bootstrap members panel displays all the bus members, servers and clusters in the cell that have the Service Integration Bus Service enabled.

7. When we have listed all the servers and clusters to add, click Next.

8. Review the summary of the servers and clusters that we have chosen to add.

9. Optional: To change the selections:

   1. Click Previous to return to the first step of the wizard.

   2. Make the changes you require, and click Next.

10. Click Finish to add the new bootstrap members to the local configuration.
