Install multiple nodes on a Windows Server

Ethan Beisher

The typical method of doing this with MIM is using VMWare.

 

There is an alternative method:

 

1) In the registry, manually create the node artifacts for a client node:

 

 

• /NodeInfo/[NodeName].xml
• /NodeInfo/[NodeName]/Launcher.xml
• /NodeInfo/[NodeName]/Connection.xml
• /NodeInfo/[NodeName]/ClientConnection.xml

 

 

2) Create your client MQ queues

 

3) Create a client.xml for this new node (e.g., [MIMInstallPath]/bin/[NodeName]_client.xml

 

3) Create a batch file to start your client node:

 

cd %XM_INSTALL_PATH%\bin\

set XMDIRECTORY=C:\Program Files\Metastorm\MIM\bin\[NodeName]_client.xml

start "[NodeName]" /min "%XM_INSTALL_PATH%\bin\nodeagent"

Can this technique be applied to z/OS as well?
