Hi Kyle
I think i have not explained the case properly.
Let me restate the problem.
1> IBM HTTP Server1.3.12 and WAS 3.5.2 installed on both M/c "A" and m/c "B".
2> The directory structure is as follows
on m/c "A" under
D:\ibm\IBM HTTP Server----------|
D:\ibm\Websphere\appServer(stop)|
|
|
on m/c "B" under|
C:\ibm\IBM HTTP Server(stop)|
C:\ibm\Websphere\appServer------|
3> Next i have stopped WAS on m/c "A" and Httpserver on m/c "B"
4> I have started Httpserver on m/c "A" and WAS on m/c "B"
5> My requirement is any request to httpserver on m/c "A" like http://A//appserver/index.jsp should use application server on m/c "B".
As per your suggetsion copying file from temp directory of WAS of M/C "B" to M/C "A" will be of no
use since WAS on m/c "A" will be in stopped condition.
6>please advise me specifically any changes in the http.conf/admin.conf or in any other place is needed.
waiting for your reply.
Thank you in advance.

You can do either horizontal or vertical clustering. I you think you have a powerful machine which is underused, use vertical clustering. The disadvantage of doing this is all application servers run on the same machine and if something goes wrong with this machine there is no failover. I you have serveral less powerful machines, use vertical clustering.
If you are using 3.5, right click the application server to clone it. Use Model to control all clones.

Hi Jun Hong
i know the concept of verticle and horizontal cloning on WAS 3.5
i have acheived the horizontal cloning.
i would like to know how to implement vertical cloning.like any setting/configuration changes needed.
thank you

can anybody suggest how To Clone An appserver on m/c "A" to m/c "B".This is to avoid single point failover.(Both M/C "A" and "B" has WAS installed on it).
Thanx in advance.

Hi all,
currently i am having IBM Http Server v1.3.12 and WAS 3.5 installed on M/C "A" and M/C "B".
and now I am trying to configure
1>IBM HTTP Server v1.3.12. on m/c 'A' with (stopping WAS services on M/C "A")
2>IBM Websphere Application Server on m/c 'B'(stopping HTTP server on M/C "B")
can any body plase suggest how to go about it(what changes are needed to configuration file ).so that any request to http server on m/c "A" is directed to the Application server on m/c "B".
