Error description

• In the following document:
  
  Creating an application server instance for Rational Team
  Concert on a WebSphere Application Server distributed server
  cluster
  http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSUS84_7.5.2.4/com.ib
  m.ram.installguide.doc/topics/t_was_cluster_create_single_node.h
  tml?lang=en
  
  It states "Because you cannot deploy Rational Team Concert to a
  cluster, you must create an additional application server that
  is separate from your clustered servers. You can then deploy
  Rational Team Concert to that server."
  
  It is true that RTC 4x/5x are not officially supported in a
  cluster as per the system requirements:
  
  System Requirements for IBM Rational Collaborative Lifecycle
  Management (CLM) 5.0, 5.0.1 and 5.0.2
  https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Deployment/CLMSystemRequirements5
  0
  
  However, RTC can be deployed to a cluster given that the cluster
  has only one node/server (probably because there is no workload
  management happening if there is only one server). CLM supports
  WAS ND but not for high availability clustering.
  
  A more accurate statement may be "Rational Team Concert can be
  deployed to a cluster, but the cluster must contain only one
  server".
  

Local fix

• None (documentation error)
