Manage Availability (Horizontally Scale)

If you've multiple instances of a given component in the deployment, you should first configure shared files and directories for the clustered components to use.

See Set Up Shared Files and Directories.

After horizontally scaling out, you typically configure an HTTP server and load balancer to distribute requests across multiple Managed Servers. See Load Balancing in a Cluster in Administering Clusters for Oracle WebLogic Server.

Only advanced users whould use the commands described in this section. Note that availability commands automatically create a symmetric set of processes when configuring additional hosts.

Note:

To add a new node to a cluster when SSL has been configured, you must scale out to the new cluster (see Add New Computers), then ensure SSL is set up correctly (see Configuring SSL in Oracle Business Intelligence in Managing Security for Oracle Analytics Server).
