Chapter 2 Machine Management and Domain Configuration : Joining a Logical Machine to a Domain

Joining a Logical Machine to a Domain
Use this command to add a node that is part of a cluster group to an administration domain. Each node in a cluster group must have access to the domain files on a shared drive, so that fail-over can proceed seamlessly. For this, information about the TIBCO Runtime Agent domain home paths must be propagated to all nodes in a cluster group. (Note that a node may be referred to as a logical machine. All nodes in a cluster group have the same virtual-machine name, a virtual IP address, or a cluster group name.)
After you join a logical machine to a domain, TIBCO Domain Utility updates the TIBCO Runtime Agent domain home and TIBCO Administrator domain home information in the DomainHomes.properties file. On Microsoft Windows platforms, Domain Utility also registers the TIBCO Hawk and TIBCO Administrator services.
See the TIBCO Runtime Agent Installing Into a Cluster guide for more information.

Click the... button to select the location of the TIBCO Runtime Agent domain home folder on the cluster group’s shared drive.
The default location is C:\tibco\tra\domain.
If this node is to serve as a backup to the administration server, click the... button to navigate to the location of the administration domain home on the cluster group’s shared drive. For example, C:/tibco/administrator/domain.
