Creating a Node

You can create a node from the GUI or by using the CLI.

GUI

You create a node in an environment and associate it with a host within the environment.

Procedure

  1. Choose a starting point and follow the appropriate procedure.

    2. Select an environment and click the Configuration tab and click Nodes.

    3. Click Add.

    Hosts

    Nodes
    1. Select Infrastructure > Nodes.
    2. Click New.

    The New Node dialog displays.

  2. In the Name field type a name.

  3. If you have not started from a host, choose a host.

    • Select a host from the Host drop-down list.
      Only hosts associated with the environment are visible. If there are unavailable hosts, they can be viewed by clicking the Unavailable hosts link.

    • Click add host. The Add Host dialog overlays the New Host dialog allowing you to bind to a host.

  4. Optionally add one or more of the features available to the Administrator server.
    In most cases you can skip this step since Administrator automatically adds features to a node when required. For example, deploying an application or installing a resource instance. In rare cases, you may have to add features to a node explicitly if the features is from the shared library. The explicit addition of features to a node can be done during and after node creation, and during installation of application or application running.

  5. Click Save. The node is added to the Nodes list with a Runtime State of Not installed

CLI

    Procedure
  1. In the data fileǰ specify a Node element in full format.

    <Node xsi:type="amxdata:Node" name="DevNode" hostName="SystemHost" contact="TIBCO" portNumber="5006"> </Node>
  2. In the AMXAdminTask element, set the action attribute to add and the objectSelector attribute to Environment/Node.

    <AMXAdminTask action="add" objectSelector="Environment/Node" />
