   The Coherence servers table displays all the Coherence servers defined in the domain.

3. Select the check box next to the name of the server you want to clone and click Clone.
4. On the Coherence Server Properties page, adjust the server properties values as needed.

   For information about these fields, refer to Configuration Options.

5. When you are finished making changes, click Finish.

   The new server appears in the Summary of Coherence Servers table.

6. To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.
   Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).
