Add Host

Use this procedure to add another host to the grid. By adding a new host to the grid, applications can scale out to this new host or you can install new applications there.

It is safe to add hosts to a grid while the grid and existing applications are running and in use.

Note: To add a host, the host has to be running an LCM Service so that LifeCycle Manager can communicate with it.
  1. In LifeCycle Manager, in the Applications tab of the left pane, double-click on the Grid Hosts node for your grid.
  2. In the Tasks tab of the right pane, click Add Host.
  3. On the Add a New Host to Grid window, specify these:
    Host

    Select a new host to add to the grid.

    Address
    Select the FQDN of the host. This is used by the grid to connect this host to the rest of the grid.
    Description

    Specify a description for this host.

    Grid Bootstrap HTTP port

    Keep the default port number or specify a new number.

    The HTTP port is used to access the bootstrap status page. This must be accessible from the LCM client.

    Hostrouter port

    Keep the default port number or specify a new number.

    The grid proxy port is only used internally between the grid JVMs.

    Hostrouter HTTPS port

    Keep the default port number or specify a new number.

    The HTTPS port is used for the Grid Management Pages and the LCM Server API calls. This port must be accessible from the LCM Server and LCM Client.

    64 bit JDK

    Select the JDK to use on this host.

    Click Next.
