Policy Agent on a cluster.

Hi guys,

A quick question.

If an application is installed on a cluster of 2 or more servers within an application server (IBM WAS in my case), is it necessary to install the Sun AM policy agent on all servers individually? or is there a way to specify a cluster configuration while installing it...

Thanks.

Adi.

We do the same thing. You need to install the agent on each memebr of the cluster. What version of WebSphere are you using?

did you get it working yet? I opened a case with SUn and its pretty complicated to properly setup the agent on a deployment manager enviornment with clusters. You need to install the agent on the appserver members, the nodeagent and using a separate set of agent binaries, install the agent on the dmgr.

Then you need to copy the server.xml from the app server and nodeagents to the dmgr config so that it doesn't over-write the modifed server.xml when you do a sync. You also need fixpack 2 for the 2.2 agent. I don't have it working yet, but i think i am getting closer. I'll let you know when i fully have it working if you still don't get it working by the time I do.
