users and then simply alter the WS Plug-in configuration to switch all users
transparently across to the new version of the application.
If the -w, -a, and -u options are all omitted, the tool configures a cluster without any
application. This enables you to add clusters separately from the applications that use
them.
[-d WebLogic Server domain name]
Use the -d option to override the default domain name.
[-c WebLogic Server cluster name]
Use the -c option to override the default cluster name.
[-i TCPIP Process Name]
The -i option is used to specify the name of the NonStop TCP/IPv6 process name to
be used. If this option is not supplied, the value in the default settings file is used. The
NonStop TCP/IPv6 process name should be specified in Guardian format, without the
leading dollar sign. Note that this setting determines the NonStop TCP/IPv6 process
used by the WS Plug-in to communicate with the WebLogic Servers that make up the
specified cluster. If the target servers are on the same system as the WS Plug-in, HP
recommends that you specify the same NonStop TCP/IPv6 process as used by the
target servers as this improves performance. To determine the NonStop TCP/IPv6
process associated with your WebLogic Server cluster, run the script that checks the
prerequisite software (check-wl-hpns.sh). If the target servers are on another
system, it is important to ensure that the target address is reachable from the subnet
associated with the NonStop TCP/IPv6 process specified.
[-n WS Plug-in Cluster Name]
The -n option is used to specify the name the WS Plug-in knows the cluster by. If
omitted, the WS Plug-in cluster name is constructed using the WebLogic Server
domain and cluster name. For example, given the defaults shown above, the WS Plug-
in cluster name would be mydomain-MyCluster. Use this option to specify an
alternative name. Use the Configuration Display feature to check that the cluster name
you chose is not already in use.
[-a]
The -a option is used to inform the configuration tool that you are configuring a new
application using an existing cluster. If this option is specified, one of the -u or -w
options is required. The -d and -c or -n options can be used to specify the WS Plug-
in cluster name to which the application is to be associated. Note that the tool is not
able to check that the WS Plug-in cluster name specified exists.
[-x Cookie Name]
Use the -x option to specify the name of the session cookie used by the application
being configured. The default is no session cookie, which means the WS Plug-in does
not look for a session cookie. This is the correct behavior for stateless applications. For
session-based applications, use this option to specify the session cookie name.
