About starting a node
When you start an iHub node, the following events occur:
*The node configures itself by contacting acserverconfig.xml located in a shared configuration home directory.
*The node joins the cluster.
*The services and resource groups of the node become available to the cluster.
*The status of the node changes to online.
How to start a node
To start an offline node which is already part of the cluster, perform the following tasks:
1 From the advanced view of Configuration Console, choose Servers. Point to the arrow next to the offline node, and choose Start, as shown in Figure 9‑13.

2 In Servers—Start server, accept the default values for Host Name, iHub Process Manager Port Number, and Server Template, as shown in Figure 9‑14. Alternatively, you can change these values.

3 Choose Start. After a few moments, the node comes online using the chosen server template.
How to start a new node
To start an offline node that is not currently part of the cluster, but is configured to be part of the cluster, perform the following tasks:
1 In the advanced view of Configuration Console, choose Servers, then choose Start New Server.
2 In Servers—Start New Server, enter the values for the server name, host name, iHub process manager port number, and choose a server template, as shown in Figure 9‑15.
