To Cluster Portal Server 7.1 on WebLogic 8.1 Service Pack 4

In this section, you do the following:

• Install Directory Server and Web Server on Node 1. (psconsole of Sun Java System Portal Server does not support WebSphere and WebLogic.)

• Install BEA WebLogic 8.1 Service Pack 4 or WebLogic 8.1 Service Pack 5 using Sun Java Development Kit.

• Create a node agent on Node 1 on the port 5555.

• Create three managed servers on the following ports of the node agent: port 7011, port 7022, and port 55555. The first two managed servers are used for creating the Portal Server instances. The third managed server is used as proxy server for load balancing.

• Create a BEA WebLogic managed server on Node 2.

• Create a node agent and managed server on Node 2 using the Administrator Server on Node 1.

• Install Access Manager on Administrator Server on Node 1.

• Install Portal Server on port 7011 of Node 1. Creates an instance of Portal Server on the managed servers created on Node 1 and Node 2.

• Configure a cluster and a load balancer.

• Install a Gateway on Node 3.

Before You Begin
