Install multiple nodes on a Windows Server

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"
