Before you can start working with patterns and deploying
virtual systems, you must add the WebSphere® Message Broker Hypervisor Edition virtual image to the IBM® Hardware
Appliances image catalog.
Before you begin
Download the WebSphere Message Broker Hypervisor Edition package for your selected IBM Hardware
Appliances from Passport Advantage®. This package
contains a virtual machine image that can be loaded into the required IBM Hardware
Appliances image catalog, and
the Image
Loader utility that is
used to load the virtual machine image.
Procedure
Use one of the following methods to add the WebSphere Message Broker Hypervisor Edition virtual machine image
to the image catalog on the IBM Hardware
Appliances.
- Use the Image
Loader utility
command line interface on a Microsoft Windows or Linux system to load the WebSphere Message Broker Hypervisor Edition virtual machine image
into the IBM Hardware
Appliances image
catalog. The virtual machine image includes ready-to-use deployment
environment patterns and script packages that are automatically added
to the IBM Hardware
Appliances. See Using the command line to add the virtual machine image to the IBM Hardware Appliances image catalog for further details.
- Use the administrative console supplied with the IBM Hardware
Appliances to add the WebSphere Message Broker Hypervisor Edition virtual machine image
to the IBM Hardware
Appliances image catalog.
If you add the virtual machine image in this way, the predefined,
ready-to-use patterns are not loaded with the virtual machine image.
You must manually create patterns and script packages after loading
the virtual machine image. See Manually adding the virtual machine image to the IBM Hardware Appliances image catalog for
further details.
