WebSphere Extended Deployment, Version 6.0.x
             Operating Systems: AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, Windows, z/OS


Deploying enterprise applications

By deploying applications to dynamic clusters, the requests that are directed to the application can be managed autonomically. The dynamic cluster can expand and contract depending on the needs of the dynamic operations environment.

Before you begin

Verify that you have WebSphere® Extended Deployment running and have access to an application for installation. Configure a dynamic cluster.You must have a node group and dynamic cluster that are configured and associated with one another. You must know the specific cell and dynamic cluster on which you want to deploy.

About this task

When you deploy your application to a dynamic cluster that is in automatic mode, WebSphere Extended Deployment can automatically control the size and placement of dynamic clusters on the nodes, according to the business goals of your application.

Procedure

  1. Deploy the application to your dynamic cluster. In the administrative console, click Applications > Install new application. For more information on installing an application, read about Deploying and administering applications.
    Restriction: The application name must be unique among all the applications that are deployed in the cell.
  2. When you reach the Map modules to application servers panel in the wizard, map your application to the cell and dynamic cluster name, or the deployment target, that is specific to your dynamic cluster.
  3. Complete the wizard panels and click Finish.

Results

You have deployed an application on a dynamic cluster that is capable of supporting dynamic application placement.

What to do next

Define a service policy for the newly deployed application.
