Use the Custom Deployment Topology Detail page
to configure your custom deployment environment.
Before you begin
- Verify that deployment environments exist on this deployment
manager.
Navigate to the administrative console of a deployment manager .
Required security role for this task: When security and role-based authorization are enabled,
you must be logged in as an administrator or a configurator to perform
this task.
Restrictions:
- The configurations that exist on a system take precedence over
the deployment environment configuration. Thus, exporting a custom
deployment environment reflects the actual configuration of the servers
involved in the deployment environment.
- You need to configure the messaging units before configuring the
component units. If the check box is unavailable, then you have not
yet configured messaging support.
About this task
For a custom deployment environment, you can decide how to
configure each function according to your needs. Configure each function
to either clusters or single servers. There are three major areas
in configuring a custom deployment environment topology:
- Messaging, which supports component internal communication.
- Common Event Infrastructure, which unifies event and monitoring
functionality.
- Application Support, which supports business integration service
components.
For more information see "Overview of custom deployment
environment layout configuration."
Procedure
- In Select Clusters and Servers
for use with this Deployment Environment, select a cluster
or server from the list.
- Click Add. The
cluster or single server will be added to the table below.
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you have selected
all the clusters and servers you need for this deployment environment.
- Select the Messaging tab.
- Decide how many independent messaging units you need
for your deployment environment and add that number by clicking Add
New Unit.
The system names each unit
Messaging Unit x, where x is
the number of the unit.
- Assign clusters and servers from
the table created in step 2 to
each unit.
Select the cluster or server to add to the
unit and then choose the unit from Add selected to unit.
- Decide which deployment target in each
unit is to host local messaging support and configure the local messaging
host by clicking Local Bus Member on the row
that defines that deployment target in the unit.
All
other clusters or servers are automatically configured for remote
messaging destinations.
- Click on the Common Events Infrastructure tab.
- Decide how many independent Common Events Infrastructure
units you need for your deployment environment and add that number
by clicking Add New Unit.
The
system names each unit Common Event Infrastructure Unit x,
where x is the number of the unit.
- Assign clusters and servers from
the table created in step 2 to
each unit.
Select the cluster or server to add to the
unit and then choose the unit from Add selected to unit.
- Decide which deployment target in each
unit is to host the Common Event Infrastructure server and configure
the Common Event Infrastructure server host by clicking Server on
the row that defines that deployment target in the unit.
All
other clusters or servers are automatically configured for remote
Common Event Infrastructure destinations.
- Click on the Application Support tab.
This tab shows all the components that can be configured for a given
deployment target.
Restriction: You must complete
the messaging units for each component before you can configure the
component in this section. For example, if the check box is unavailable
for Service Component Architecture, then the associated messaging
units have not been configured. See "Overview of custom deployment
environment layout configuration" for additional restrictions.
- Decide how many independent Application Support units
you need for your deployment environment and add that number by clicking Add
New Unit.
You only need
a single unit to support Service Component Architecture applications.
The system names each unit Application Support Unit x,
where x is the number of the unit.
- Assign clusters and servers from
the table created in step 2 to
each unit.
Select the cluster or server to add to the
unit and then choose the unit from Add selected to unit.
- In a unit, select what cluster or server belongs
to each component for your deployment environment.
- Repeat steps 6.b and 6.c until you configure all the
components in each unit you need for your deployment environment.
What to do next
After completing or making edits to an existing deployment
environment, the Custom Deployment Environment Configuration wizard
opens. You can review the information and make any necessary changes.
