Creating cluster in WAS

Cluster is a logical group of servers. There are 2 types of clusters - Vertical cluster and Horizontal cluster. Vertical cluster is a cluster where all the members are on one physical server; whereas, Horizontal cluster is a cluster where the members are distributed across different physical structure.

In this section, we will learn to create a vertical cluster. Perform below steps to achieve the same.

1) Login to WAS Admin console
2) In the left navigation pane, navigate to Servers -> Clusters -> WebSphere application server clusters and click "New".



 3) Enter Cluster Name and click Next.


4) Enter Member Name for the first Cluster member. Select Node from the drop down menu, on which you are creating the member. Click Next.



 5) Enter Member Name for the second cluster member and click Add Member. You may add as many members you wish. Click Next once you have added the member.


6) Review summary and click Finish.


 7) Click Review


 8) Select "Synchronize changes on Nodes" and click Save.


9) Click OK.


10) Select the newly created cluster and click Start.


11) Click on the cluster name and click Cluster Members. You will find the member list.



Our vertical cluster is created.

  1. Hello,
    An IBM WebSphere Server administrator can make sure that every HTTP session is replicated to all members in the cluster by setting the number of replicas to the entire domain in the replication domain settings for the cluster. Thanks For providing. Nice Post
