Exporting deployment environment definitions helps you speed the
implementation of deployment environments by minimizing the configuration
on each deployment manager. You can use the exported deployment environment
on other deployment managers as a template for the deployment environment.
You can also replicate the same deployment environment configuration on a
large scale.
Before you begin
- Define at least one deployment environment on a deployment manager.
- Log in to the administrative console of the deployment manager from which
you are exporting the deployment environment definitions.
- On the administrative console of
the deployment manager navigate to Servers > Deployment
Environments.
Required security role for this task: When
security and role-based authorization are enabled, you must log in
to the administrative console as an administrator or operator to perform
this task.
About this task
If you are implementing a number of deployment environments based
on the same designs, you can export the deployment environment definitions
to use as templates for deployment environments on other deployment managers.
Procedure
- On the Deployment Environments page, select
the check boxes next to the deployment environment definitions to export.
- Click Export. The system
response depends on whether you select:
Number of deployment environments to export |
Action |
One |
At the prompt, enter the name of the exported file. The default name
is deployment_environment_name.xml.
To change the default name, specify the full file path. |
Multiple |
At the prompt, enter the output directory in which to place the exported
compressed file that contains the deployment environment definitions. By default,
the system names the compressed file first_env_name.zip.
To change the default name, specify the full file path. Note: You cannot directly
import a compressed file, you must extract the deployment environment definitions
to the target file system.
|
- Verify that the system created the files.
What to do next
You can import the exported files to other deployment managers.
