Parts and patterns

WebSphere® Message Broker Hypervisor Edition parts are the functional components of a pattern. Each part represents a single virtual machine. A pattern provides a topology definition for repeatable deployment that can be shared.

Parts

Parts describe the components that are configured on a virtual machine. Use parts to create patterns. Each part has a set of properties (parameters) that is used during deployment to help define the overall configuration of the virtual system. You can customize a part by modifying its parameters, by adding a script package, or both. When you load the WebSphere Message Broker Hypervisor Edition virtual machine image onto your IBM® Hardware Appliances, the parts are included.

Patterns

Patterns describe the function that is provided by each virtual machine in a virtual system. Each function is identified as a part in the pattern. Patterns take on the characteristics of their associated parts. For example, when a WebSphere Message Broker - Basic part is put into a pattern, which is then deployed, the result is a virtual machine that has a running WebSphere Message Broker instance.

Patterns in WebSphere Message Broker Hypervisor Edition differ from the topology patterns that are described in the WebSphere Message Broker Information Center. Topology patterns describe the functions that are provided by clusters, the WebSphere Message Broker Hypervisor Edition patterns describe the functions that are provided by virtual machines in the IBM Hardware Appliances.

You can use predefined patterns, create new patterns, and edit existing patterns that have not been completed and locked. See the IBM Workload Deployer and IBM PureApplication® System Information Centers for detailed information about using the IBM Hardware Appliances to access existing patterns or create custom patterns.
