WebSphere® Message Broker Hypervisor Edition predefined patterns are composed of parts that define the elements of a WebSphere Message Broker deployment environment.
When you use the WebSphere Message Broker Hypervisor Edition Image Loader utility, predefined patterns are added to the appliance catalog. You can select any one of the loaded predefined patterns and deploy it to the cloud.
The predefined patterns are read-only. You can create a new pattern, or clone an existing one. You must clone a pattern if you want to change the composition of a predefined pattern.
To load the WebSphere Message Broker Hypervisor Edition virtual machine image on to the IBM® Hardware Appliances, use the WebSphere Message Broker Hypervisor Edition Image Loader utility. The Image Loader utility and the steps that are required to load the virtual machine image are described in the section Using the command line to add the virtual machine image to the IBM Hardware Appliances image catalog.
If you manually add a WebSphere Message Broker Hypervisor Edition virtual image, by importing the OVA file, predefined patterns are not added to the catalog, and you must create your own patterns by using the image parts. Creating your own patterns is described in the sections Creating a WebSphere Message Broker Basic pattern manually and Creating a WebSphere Message Broker Advanced pattern manually.
The following diagram shows the Image Loader utility Procedure and the Importing OVA Procedure.
The following table lists the predefined WebSphere Message Broker Hypervisor Edition patterns.
