Configure cells

 

Overview

When you installed the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment product, a cell was created. A cell provides a way to group one or more nodes of your Network Deployment product. You probably will not need to reconfigure the cell. To view information about and manage a cell, use the settings page for a cell.

1. Access the settings page for a cell. Click System Administration > Cell from the navigation tree of the administrative console.

2. If the protocol that the cell uses to retrieve information from a network is not appropriate for your system, select the appropriate protocol. By default, a cell uses Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). If you want the cell to use User Diagram Protocol, select UDP from the drop-down list for Cell Discovery Protocol on the settings page for the cell. It is unlikely that you will need to change the cell's protocol configuration from TCP.

3. Click Custom Properties and define any name-value pairs needed by your deployment manager.

4. When you installed the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment product, a node was added to the cell. You can add additional nodes on the Node page. Click Nodes to access the Node page, which you use to manage nodes.
