Use the IBM® Hardware
Appliances to
deploy a pattern and create virtual systems in the cloud. You can
deploy any pattern defined in the IBM Hardware
Appliances, including the predefined
patterns loaded with the WebSphere® Message Broker Hypervisor Edition virtual machine image
or custom patterns that you create.
Before you begin
Ensure that you have loaded the WebSphere Message Broker Hypervisor Edition image on the IBM Hardware
Appliances and that you have a
predefined or custom pattern ready to be deployed.
To configure
an Advanced pattern, see Configuring a WebSphere Message Broker Advanced pattern.
Procedure
During deployment, you must provide values for all required
parameters that do not already have values assigned. In some cases,
you can override default or existing values for parameters.
- Log in to the appliance with the necessary permissions
to deploy patterns.
- Select the pattern you want to deploy from the list in
the left panel of the Pattern view.
- Click Deploy to begin the deployment
process and enter the information necessary for deploying the pattern.
An asterisk (*) indicates a required field.
- Provide the necessary information for the pattern. When
a check mark is shown on the clipboard icon next to an item, you have
provided all required information for that item. All items must have
a check mark before you can deploy the pattern. Because patterns vary,
the information you must supply varies. Consult the IBM Hardware
Appliances Information Center
and the pattern developer for complete descriptions of the fields
defined for the parts in the pattern, including any fields added by
script packages. The following information will help you complete
the fields that are displayed in the deployment dialog box:
- Name the virtual system you are creating when you deploy
the pattern.
- Specify the cloud you are deploying into.
- Use the Schedule deployment section to specify when
to deploy and how long the virtual system runs in the cloud.
- Use the Configure virtual parts section to list all
of the parts in your pattern and provide any necessary information.
For example, passwords.
- When all items in the dialog box have a check mark next
to them, click OK to deploy the pattern.
Results
A virtual system in the cloud is created with the configuration
defined by the deployed pattern.
