Assigning an Avaya Breeze platform server to a cluster

Last Updated : Nov 10, 2025 |

About this task

Use this procedure to assign an Avaya Breeze® platform server to a cluster. Perform this procedure during a maintenance window.

Note:
  • The action of adding one or more servers to a cluster will restart both the servers being added to the cluster and the remaining nodes in the cluster. Therefore, a service outage for this cluster should be expected.

  • If you add a server to a single or two node clusters, it affects service as WebSphere restarts to update the data grid properties. However, if you add a server to a cluster that has three or more servers, it does not affect service.

You can add up to five servers to most clusters. With the Core Platform cluster profile, you can add up to ten servers.

When one of the assigned servers is not reachable by System Manager, you cannot edit any tabs on the Cluster Administration page.

Note:

When adding an Avaya Breeze® platform server to a single to 2-node cluster configuration, a cluster reboot is required.

Before you begin

Data replication and synchronization must be complete. Ensure that the nodes in the cluster are in the Synchronized state before you add an Avaya Breeze® platform server to a cluster.
