Hi guys ,
i have application server profile as follows:

C:\ND7.0forTEST\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01\config\cells\comp-abvgfr7Cell13\node1

ie , right now i was having a single node1 under the application server (AppSrv01)profile

can i have an other node2 under the same application server(AppSrv01) profile.

I mean two nodes under one (same) profile.

 Thank you. 

Hey Kasi,

Yes, you can have more than one node in the same profile.  In our environment, we have as many as 15 nodes federated in one profile.  And they don't all have to be application servers.  If you're using WVE in your environment, you can federate the ODR nodes in the same profile as the application servers.

Hope this helps!

Dear Danielle,

Can you please explain how to create a new node under one profile - I mean under AppSrv01 how to create a second node ?

Hi Vinod,

Please see the following link for instructions on how to add a node:

Hope this helps!

When we create an application server profile or any other profile, we get a node with it. Then you can choose to federate that node to dmgr profile or not. So, a profile is equal to a node. That means you can't really have 2 nodes under single profile. The above link provided by Danielle is for federation purpose of nodes to dmgr. Hope it's clear.

You can create a new application server in a profile (node) via scripting or the admin consle.

Scripting example to create a server instance from the WAS v8.5 InfoCenter -> bit.ly/11T9L7D

Ok, first let's clarify a few things.  Oftentimes, the term "node" can get misconstrued depending on how your environment is configured.  Perhaps I should have been more clear in my explanation of adding nodes to a profile.  Our environment is almost completely virtual (ESX) so in our world each virtual "server" we create is the "node".  Once the "node" has been created, WAS is installed as part of an image (along with MQ, WSRR, and a host of other IBM products we currently use).  After the image has been installed on the "node" we then add the "node" to its respective cell and complete the cell based configuration (including creating dynamic clusters, which in turn creates the servers - they may be application servers and/or ODR servers depending on what we created the new "node" for).

I think what Stan and Paul are referring to are what we call "servers", and how to create/configure them depends on whether or not your environment is standalone or clustered, and also depends on if you're using Virtual Enterprise.

After reviewing your initial post again it looks like you have a standalone WAS 7 "node".  So my questions to you are: are you interested in creating another "node" so you can cluster it with the existing "node" for high avaliability? Or are you interested in creating additional application "servers" on the existing standalone "node" (i.e. server1, server2; etc)?

Hopefully this clears the mud a little :-)
