Add New Computers
You can add a new computer to extend the cluster across multiple computers, increasing availability and capacity.
Assumptions
-
The new computer must meet the same prerequisites for installation (such as operating system and memory) as the primary computer.
-
SDD must have been set up.
-
ORACLE_HOME must be the same absolute path on both computers.
-
You must use the same JDK version on the new computer as used on the existing computers.
-
It's recommended, but not required, that the DOMAIN_HOME is the same on both computers.
-
A symmetric set of active-active components is created on the new computer.
-
The system must be stopped (offline).
-
You must have appropriate file system (offline) or Oracle WebLogic Server Administrator (online) permissions.
-
The same ports are allocated as on the primary computer.
-
The Managed Server is added to the existing cluster.
-
Cluster Controller, Scheduler, and BI Server control isn't changed.
-
Optional base computer and server parameters are provided to support the case where the primary server (bi_server1) has been deleted.
-
Unless provided, the name of the computer hosting Oracle WebLogic Server defaults to the listen address and must contain fewer than 32 characters.
Adding a new computer creates an additional Managed Server, Node Manager, system components, and services on the new computer.
