Checking the status of IBM WebSphere Application Server cluster members

In a WebSphere® Application Server cluster installation, use the WebSphere Application Server administrative console to check the status of cluster members.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the WebSphere Application Server administrative console.
  2. Access the cluster list in the console.
    In the navigation pane, expand Servers, expand Clusters, and click WebSphere application server clusters.
  3. In the workspace, click the cluster name.
    The cluster page appears.
  4. Click Cluster members.
    The Cluster members page appears. Each cluster member is listed on the page. The Status column indicates the status of each cluster member.

What to do next

When an application server is starting up, even when the status of the cluster member in the WebSphere Application Server administrative console shows as Started or when the status returned by the serverStatus command indicates that the application server is STARTED, it is not ready for use by IBM® InfoSphere® Information Server until all InfoSphere Information Server applications have completed initialization. See Checking the status of IBM WebSphere Application Server startup (clustered installation) for details on how to tell when InfoSphere Information Server applications have completed initialization.
