WebSphere Application Server V7.0: Concepts ... - IBM Redbooks

6.8.2 Distributed server environment
Web servers in a distributed server environment can be local to the application
server, or remote. The Web server can also reside on the deployment manager
system. You can define multiple Web servers. The Web servers can reside on
managed or unmanaged nodes.
Remote Web server on an unmanaged node
In this scenario, the deployment manager and the Web server are on separate
machines. The process for this scenario is almost identical to that outlined for a
remote Web server in a stand-alone server environment. The primary difference
is that the script that defines the Web server is run against the deployment
manager and you will see an unmanaged node created for the Web server node.
In Figure 6-4, the node is unmanaged because there is no node agent on the
Web server system.

Plug-in
Assume that the deployment manager is already installed and configured on
system A. Perform the following tasks:
1. Install the Web server on system B.
2. Install the Web server plug-in on system B by performing the following steps:
a. Select Remote installation.
b. Enter a name for the Web server definition. The default is webserver1.
c. Select the location for the plug-in configuration file. By default, the file is
placed in the directory that contains the server's configuration. For
example, when the name specified for the Web server definition in the
previous step is webserver1, the default location for the plug-in file is as
follows:
/config/webserver1/plugin-cfg.xml
