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:
- From the list of patterns in the Virtual System Patterns window, select
the pattern to deploy.
- Click the Deploy icon.
- 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.
