• Tomcat server must be installed and configured on all the target nodes.
Installing and uninstalling Tomcat toolkit
The Tomcat toolkit is bundled within the Serviceguard on Linux Contributed toolkit suite. The Tomcat
toolkit must be installed on all the nodes of the cluster that are configured to run the Tomcat web
server package.
