Create an F5 Node for Each Cluster Node

Rather than configuring cluster nodes after they are present in CA Process Automation, you configure the nodes that you expect to add to any clustered Orchestrator up front.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to F5.
2. Select the Main tab, click Local Traffic, and then click Nodes.

   The Node List displays the following details for each network node that has been defined to F5: the status, the IP address, the partition, and the host name.

3. Click Create.

   The New Node page appears.

4. Complete the General Properties section.

   Address

   Specifies the IP address of the new node.

   Name

   Specifies the host name of the associated IP address.

5. Complete the Configuration section.

   Health Monitors

   Specifies the health monitor for this node. If it is not configured, select None.

   Default: Node Default

   Ratio

   Specifies a weighted value to assign to the node. If the nodes that belong to the same cluster all have the same capacity, enter 1 as the Ratio value for each node.

   Connection Limit

   Specifies the maximum number of connections that this node can handle.

6. Click Finished.

   The added node is displayed in the Node List.
