Add new application server node to existing system
SA-10589
Summary
How can I add a new node to an existing system?
Resolution
When configuring an environment to run on multiple nodes, simply configuring a second JVM to use the same PegaRULES database.
However, load balancing must be configured external to Pega 7. This can be done with either hardware or software load balancers that work with your application server.

Finally, there is a PegaAcademy course with a focus on administering multi-node server clusters.
