Specify a core group when creating an application server

By default, a cell contains a single core group. In this situation, whenever we add an application server to that cell, it is automatically added to this core group. However if the cell contains multiple core groups, specify the core group to which we want the application server assigned.

If the cell to which we are adding an application server contains multiple core groups, determine the core group to which we want this application server to belong.

You have a cell containing multiple core groups and to select the core group to which a newly created application server is added.

To add a newly created node agent to a specific core group:

1. In the console, click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > New .

2. Select the node on which to create the application server.

3. Specify a name for the new application server, and then click Next.

4. Select the server template we want for this application server, and then click Next. Usually, to use the template for the default server.

5. Select the core group to which we want this application server to belong from the list of available core groups, and then click Next.

6. Confirm the selections on the summary presented, and click Finish.

7. Click OK, and then click Save to save the changes.

8. Select Synchronize changes with nodes and click Save again.

9. Restart all members of the core group.

10. Start the server.

Results

After the server starts, it becomes a member of the selected core group.
