Nominating bootstrap members for a bus

We can nominate one or more servers 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: You must ensure the following requirements are met:

• If the bus is in a mixed-version cell, the deployment manager must be at a v7.0 or later level.
• The servers to nominate as bootstrap members must be on v7.0 or later cell nodes.
