Deploying patterns

Deploying patterns with IBM® Workload Deployer 3.1.0.2 or IBM SOA Policy Gateway Pattern into the cloud provides a running IBM PureApplication System environment. You can deploy the predefined patterns available with the IBM SOA Policy Gateway Pattern images, or deploy patterns that you have 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.

About this task

Deploying a pattern creates a virtual system, or a newly provisioned IBM SOA Policy Gateway Pattern runtime environment, that is running in the cloud.

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 defined and provides links to required consoles. The time for the deployment depends on the complexity of the pattern being 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.
