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, we must 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.

We have a cell containing multiple core groups and we want 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 administrative console, click...
   Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > New

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

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

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

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

7. Click OK> 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.

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