Synchronizing and restarting nodes in the cluster

Synchronize the nodes in an IBM® WebSphere® Application Server network deployment.

About this task

Synchronizing nodes in a cluster ensures that the deployment manager has an up-to-date copy of each node's configuration.

1. Log in to the deployment manager's (the Sametime® System Console) Integrated Solutions Console as the WebSphere administrator.
2. Stop the deployment manager:
   1. Click System Administration > Deployment manager.
   2. Click the "Configuration" tab.
   3. On the Configuration tab of the deployment manager settings, click Stop.
3. Now start the deployment manager:
   1. Open a command window and navigate to the was_install_root/profiles/DeploymentManagerName/bin directory.
   2. Run the following command:

      IBM AIX®, or Linux

      ./startManager.sh

      Microsoft Windows

      startManager.bat

      IBM i

      1. On the Control Language (CL) command line, run the Start Qshell (STRQSH) command.

      2. At the Qshell prompt, run the following commands:

         cd was_install_root/profiles/DeploymentManagerName/bin
         startManager dmgr 

4. Log in to the Integrated Solutions Console.
5. Wait until the nodes have all started. Then follow these steps to synchronize all the nodes:
   1. In the deployment manager's Integrated Solutions Console, click System Administration > Nodes.
   2. Select all nodes in the cluster.
   3. Click Full Resynchronize.
6. Restart all nodes in the cluster:
   1. In the deployment manager's Integrated Solutions Console, click System Administration > Node agents.
   2. Click a node agent, and then click Restart (the node agent should already be running).
   3. Wait until the nodes have all started before proceeding to another task.
