Note – By default, the HTTP ports are 38081 for i1 and 38080 for i2. If these ports were busy on your machine when you created these clusters, or if you had already assigned these ports to other instances and clusters, different port numbers were assigned.

Next Steps In this section you have created a simple cluster on a single machine. You can also create clusters spanning multiple machines using the same basic steps (as long as you have the software installed and a node agent running on each machine).

You can stop the Quick Start trail here if you do not wish to continue, or you can go on to the next section.

Deploying an Application

This section, the third of three basic topics, presents the following steps:

“To Deploy the Sample Application” on page 15

“To Start the Cluster” on page 16

“To Verify the Application Deployment” on page 16

To Deploy the Sample Application

This guide uses the clusterjsp sample application to demonstrate web path load balancing capabilities. This task shows you how to deploy that application.

Steps 1. Click the Home button to go to the Common Tasks page, if you are not there already.

2.On the right pane, under Common Tasks, click Deploy Enterprise Application.

3.In the File to Upload text box, click Browse, and navigate to install-dir/samples/ee-samples/highavailability/apps/clusterjsp/ clusterjsp.ear.

4.Click Next to display the Deploy Enterprise Application page.

5.Scroll down to the Targets section of the page.

6.Select FirstCluster from the Available list, and click Add to move it to the Selected list.
