IBM WEBSPHERE APPLICATION SERVER CLUSTERING (VERTICAL)
Vertical Clustering: A vertical cluster has cluster members on the same node, or a physical machine.
Horizontal Clustering: A horizontal cluster has cluster members on multiple nodes across many machines in a cell.
For Vertical Clustering of Websphere Application Server we should do following tasks: Install Websphere Application Server Network Deployment Create an Deployment Manager Profile Create normal profiles atleast two

IBM WEBSHERE APPLICATION SERVER NETWORK DEPLOYMENT INSTALLATION
In this scenario installation of Websphere Application Server Network Deployment is going to be on: Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise (64 bit)
Go to the software package WASND v7.0 for Windows x86-64bit location and click on launchpad this initiates the installation program.

Here in the above process we just installed IBM Websphere Application Server Network Deployment. Let see how to create profiles and deployment manager using command prompt as profile management tool is not available in WAS 64bit installed on 64bit Operating System.
Please go through the below site for more information: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21408010

Creating Profiles using Command prompt:
Open Command Prompt Goto path WAS installed location AppServer bin folder. For eg: cd C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\bin Run Command: ManageProfiles.bat
It create a default profile eg:- AppSrv01 Follow the above to create another profile.
Creating Deployment Manger Profile Using Command Prompt:
Open Command Prompt Goto Path WAS installed location AppServer bin folder For eg: cd C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\bin
P a g e | 17
Run Command: ManageProfiles.bat -create -profileName profilename -profilePath "c:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\profilename" -templatePath "c:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profileTemplates\dmgr"
Then the deployment manager will be created in the provided location in above command then start this profile using the below command from profile bin path Command: startManager

Enabling Federated Security in Deployment Manager Profile
Login into Deployment manager WAS console and go to Security>Global Security tab.
click on security configuration wizard
Click Next

Select Federated Repositories and click next
Fill required and click Next

Click Finish and in next page Select Preferences
Select Synchronize changes with Nodes and click Apply

Click OK
Save the changes

Adding Nodes to the Deployment Manager
The two profiles which are created earlier should be added to the deployment manager using command prompt.
Using addnode.bat command add the AppSrv02 to the deployment manger
Give the credentials and click OK
P a g e | 23
We will get above message if it is successful
In the above procedure add AppSrv03 to the deployment manager node.
Open WAS console of deployment profile and go to System administration>Nodes Added nodes will appears in this page like in below screen:

Creating Cluster:
Go to Deployment manager profile WAS console
Go to Clusters>Websphere Application Server clusters. Click New
P a g e | 25
Give cluster name and click Next
Give first node detailed to be added and click Next
In next screen give second node details
P a g e | 26
Click Next
Click Finish
P a g e | 27
Select Preferences
Select Synchronize changes with Nodes and Click Apply
P a g e | 28
Check whether Cluster created is started or not
Go to Cluster topology to check whether the Nodes added successfully or not
P a g e | 29
Verification for Clustering:
Deploying one sample application into Cluster for verification Go to Applications> New Application browse one sample application from the WAS installation path
Click Next
select cluster and apply. Click Next
P a g e | 30
Click Next
Click Finish
P a g e | 31
Click Save
P a g e | 32
Click OK
Check it started or not
If you check in physical location of WAS go to installedapps folder of both nodes the sample application will be deployed on both at the same point of time.
