Backup cluster settings
Configure a backup server cluster. The backup server cluster is used if the primary server cluster fails.
Deprecated feature: Backup clusters are deprecated in WebSphere Application Server v9. Instead of using IIOP based Backup
Clusters across multiple Cells using CoreGroupBridges, we should consider wrapping EJB capabilities
with REST interfaces. Then use front-end load balancing, such as On Demand Router, to balance the load. depfeat
Configuration of a backup cluster is only useful if the cluster contains an Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) module and a client outside of the cluster uses the EJB module.
From the admin console, click...
Servers > Clusters > WebSphere application server clusters > cluster_name > Backup cluster.
Backup cluster name
Name of the backup cluster. The backup cluster must have the same name as the server cluster that is containing the backup cluster. The backup cluster and its containing server cluster can have identical names because they must reside in different cells.
