Use these instructions to configure the behavior of the autonomic
managers in WebSphere Extended Deployment.
About this task
Configure autonomic managers after your have prepared your environment
to support autonomic management, and if you want to maximize utilization using
your defined business goals. These autonomic managers monitor performance
metrics, analyze the monitored data, offer a plan for running actions, and
can start these actions in response to the flow of work. The following autonomic
managers all work in or with the WebSphere Extended Deployment environment.
Procedure
- Configuring the autonomic request flow manager
Change settings
on the autonomic request flow manager. The autonomic request flow manager
controls the order of requests into the application server tier and the rate
of request flows. Using classification and the defined service goals, the
autonomic request flow manager decides how and when to dispatch HTTP requests
to the next tier.
- Configuring dynamic application placement
You can configure
the dynamic application placement controller. Dynamic application placement
occurs when the dynamic operations components of WebSphere Extended Deployment
work together to start and stop application instances to meet the fluctuating
demand of work requests of varying service policy definitions
- Optimizing the database tier for performance monitoring
Optimize the database tier. The database tier optimization component
extends the monitoring of WebSphere Extended Deployment to detect bottlenecks
at the database tier in multi-tier enterprise applications.
- Configuring the health management controller
You can configure the health management controller, which works to
enforce your defined health policies by monitoring the state of servers and
comparing the data to your defined health policies. When the data meets or
exceeds a condition that is defined in one of your health policies, the health
management subsystem takes action.
- Enabling the on demand router to work with IBM Enterprise Workload
Manager
Enable WebSphere Extended Deployment to work with other Application
Response Measurement (ARM) enabled autonomic managers like IBM Enterprise
Workload Manager.
- Configuring Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator to work with WebSphere
Extended Deployment
You can use Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator with WebSphere Extended
Deployment to obtain physical computing resources from outside a node group.
Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator can also automatically install WebSphere Extended
Deployment on servers and configure the server network connectivity when WebSphere
Extended Deployment needs more servers.
