web intelligence installation

[ssibo]

HI.
I have 2 servers s1 and s2 in a workgroup S.
I've successfully installed s1 as a cluster manager and I wanted to install s2 as a node. BUT I have a message that tells me no osagent was found in the network.
I've used the same port for the 2 servers(14999).
The installation asks me a domain. When I give the workgroup it doesn't work.
Should I reinstall windows to create a new domain or is it possible to dothe installation with a workgroup?

I'm pretty sure, you need to be in domains for Corba clustering (OSAgent) to work. Workgroups are not quite good enough. Steve Krandel

you just need to be in the same subnet, a domain isn't necessary, however the osagent ports should not be the same, your node is looking for 14999, sees itself, and can't see the CM.

We don't use nodes at all, just CM's even for our BCA Publisher setup. you may want to consider that. you'll be able to support more users by having 2 webi servers and load balancing them via roundrobin, local director, or a CSS. there are some caveats, such as shared storage to consider.
