Choose the type of cluster to create on AIX
If installed a IBM WAS Network Deployment, create a static cluster to handle failover requests. If installed a WebSphere Virtual Enterprise, create a dynamic cluster to balance member workloads.
Choose one of the following options to create a cluster:
Prerequisites
- Prepare prerequisite and corequisite software on AIX
- Prepare the AIX operating system
- Prepare the primary node on AIX
- Creating a static cluster on AIX
After installing WebSphere Portal on the primary node, configuring a remote database, and preparing the primary node to communicate with the Deployment Manager, you can create your static cluster to handle failover requests.
- Creating a new dynamic cluster on AIX using WebSphere Virtual Enterprise
After configuring WebSphere Portal on the primary node and all additional nodes, you can create a new dynamic cluster. A dynamic cluster monitors performance and load information and is able to dynamically create and remove cluster members based on the workload.
