2.3.8.3 Add and Define a Cluster

Before you can add Managed Servers to the domain, you must add and define the cluster where the Managed Servers are running.

To add a cluster to the topology:

1. Select the domain object in the workspace, and then select Edit > Add New Cluster to Domain ‘domain1’ to add a cluster to the workspace.
   Alternatively, you can select the Add New Item icon on the toolbar, select Add New Cluster to Domain ‘domain1’ in the dialog box, and click OK.
   A new cluster (cluster1) is added to the domain in the workspace.
2. Select the cluster1 object you just created, and define the following Attributes for the cluster:

   Attribute	Description
   ID	Keep the default value, cluster1. The ID attribute is an identifier that is used to refer to this cluster from other parts of the topology.
   Name	Enter the name of the cluster.

After you have added and defined a cluster, your workspace should look similar to the following example:
