How to Create Additional Web Server Instances

The Sun Java System Web Server Plug-In cannot create a new Web Server instance on a server. However, the plug-in enables you to control Web Server instances that you create manually. Consequently, whenever you manually create a Web Server instance, use the following procedure to update the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 database to include the new Web Server instance.

Steps

1. Access the Administration Server and create a new Web Server instance.

   For more information, see Sun Java Enterprise System 2005Q1 Installation Guide.

2. In the browser interface of the provisioning system, click the Sun Java System WS 6 icon under the Common Tasks section of the left control panel.

3. Click the Create Web Server instance: create link.

4. Click the Run button.

5. In the Plan Parameters table, in the Variable Settings column for the WebServerInstance component, click Select From List.

   The Select a Variable Setting window opens.

6. From the list of Variable Settings, change the following variables as described below.

   1. Set the hostName variable to the value you provided in the Server Identifier field on the Web Server Administration Server page when you created the Web Server instance.

   2. Set the domainName variable to the value you provided as the domain name in the Server Identifier field on the Web Server Administration Server page. If you did not specify a domain name in the Server Identifier field, set the domainName value to null.

   3. Set the webInstancePort variable to the port number you want to use to access the Web Server instance.

   4. Click the Select button.

   For information about other Variable Settings, see WebServerInstance Component.

7. Select the target hosts.

8. Click the Run Plan (includes preflight) button.

   The CreateWebServerInstance plan creates a virtual host for the Web Server instance of the com.sun.jes6_WS#WebServerInstanceHT host type.
