Deploying patterns

Deploying patterns with IBM® PureApplication System into the cloud provides a running SOA policy gateway environment. You can deploy the predefined patterns available with the IBM SOA Policy Gateway Pattern images, or deploy patterns that you created.

Before you begin

To deploy a pattern you must first have either a predefined pattern or a new pattern that is complete, with all required parts configured. You require detail of the environment, cloud group, and IP group to deploy into from your PureAS system administrator.

About this task

You deploy the pattern by using the Workload console.

Procedure

To deploy the IBM SOA Policy Gateway Patterns to run in your private cloud, complete the following steps:

  1. From the list of patterns in the Virtual System Patterns window, select the pattern to deploy.
  2. Click the Deploy icon.
  3. Complete the required fields to deploy the pattern. In the window, enter a name for the virtual system and enter any other required information. A check mark beside each item indicates that it does not require further configuration. You can change the parameters for configured parts, prior to deploying the pattern, by clicking the part name to open the editor for the part. Virtual machines are created, in the required order, and then started.

Results

The deployment process creates and starts virtual machines for the parts that are defined and provides links to required consoles. The time for the deployment depends on the complexity of the pattern deployed. A deployed pattern is a virtual system, or a newly provisioned the IBM SOA Policy Gateway Pattern runtime environment.

What to do next

You can view the status of your instance, to see when deployment is complete and begin to administer it, from the Virtual System Instances window.
