If you are not familiar with wsadmin.sh (Linux) / wsadmin.bat (Windows), check out my article Getting Started with wsadmin.
Here is an example of how to list your clusters.
~]$ /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/your_profile/bin/wsadmin.sh -lang jython -c "print AdminClusterManagement.listClusters()"
WASX7209I: Connected to process "dmgr" on node your_node using SOAP connector; The type of process is: DeploymentManager
---------------------------------------------------------------
AdminClusterManagement: List server clusters
Usage: AdminClusterManagement.listClusters()
Return: List of the clusters in the cell.
---------------------------------------------------------------
cluster is found: Cluster01(cells/Cell01/clusters/Cluster01|cluster.xml#ServerCluster_1234567890127)
['Cluster01(cells/Cell01/clusters/Cluster01|cluster.xml#ServerCluster_1234567890127)']
If you have more than one cluster, and you want to determine the cluster that a particular WebSphere Application Server is in, AdminApp.listModules can be used.
/opt/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/your_profile/bin/wsadmin.sh -lang jython -c "print AdminApp.listModules('AppSrv01', '-server')"
You can then list the Cluster Members, the application servers (aka JVMs) in the cluster.
[john.doe@localhost ~]$ /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/your_profile/bin/wsadmin.sh -lang jython -c "print AdminClusterManagement.listClusterMembers('Cluster01')"
WASX7209I: Connected to process "dmgr" on node your_node using SOAP connector; The type of process is: DeploymentManager
---------------------------------------------------------------
AdminClusterManagement: List server cluster members
Cluster name: Cluster01
Usage: AdminClusterManagement.listClusterMembers("Cluster01")
Return: List of the cluster members in the specified cluster.
---------------------------------------------------------------
