Symptom
Due to business or technical requirement you need to change the number of server nodes of the SAP Application Server Java through Config Tool.
Environment
SAP NetWeaver Java Application Server
Cause
In the standard SAP Application Server Java 7.1+ installation you have a predefined number of server nodes. In case of special sizing needs you need to change this configuration.

Starting the Config Tool
To change the number of server nodes in the AS Java you need administrative access to the Operating System.
You can open the Config Tool with the following scripts:

/usr/sap/<SID>/<InstID>/j2ee/configtool/configtool.sh
- In a Windows system:
/usr/sap/<SID>/<InstID>/j2ee/configtool/configtool.bat
Adding a server node
- In the Config Tool main screen expand cluster-data.
- Expand your template.
- Click in instance - IDXXXXXXX.
- In the Servers tab you will see the field Custom Number of Server Nodes (or Custom Number of Server Processes in AS Java 7.3 or higher), type in the number of server nodes desired.
- Click in the Set button right below.
- Click in the Save button (Apply changes) at the top bar.
- Restart the cluster.
