Use this task to install the WebSphere® Extended Deployment driver
into the Tivoli® Intelligent
Orchestrator configuration.
About this task
Integrating WebSphere Extended Deployment with Tivoli Intelligent
Orchestrator enables resource allocation on various levels. Within a WebSphere Extended
Deployment node group, applications are allocated resources with a smaller
granularity of allocation and on a smaller time scale. Use Tivoli Intelligent
Orchestrator to bring new servers to the WebSphere Extended Deployment environment,
when resource allocation cannot be solved by the WebSphere Extended Deployment configuration
alone. If you own Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator, you can use a WebSphere Extended
Deployment driver that includes the software and workflow files for WebSphere Extended
Deployment.
Procedure
- Copy the tcdriver file from the deployment
manager configuration to the Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator server. Manually
copy the %WAS_HOME%/tio/was-xd.tcdriver file on the deployment
manager to the %TIO_HOME%/drivers directory on the Tivoli Intelligent
Orchestrator server.
Tip: Take care,
particularly on UNIX operating systems, that the ownership of the copied file
is correct. The file needs to be owned by the correct user and group combination.
Typically, the user and group are both called
tioadmin,
but this name can vary according to how Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator is installed.
Use the user and group information of the other
tcdriver files
in the
drivers directory as a guide.
- On a command line, navigate to the %TIO_HOME%/tools directory.
- Type CD drivers to change to the %TIO_HOME%\drivers directory.
- Run the tc-driver-manager command.
On a Windows command line, type tc-driver-manager.cmd
forceInstallDriver was-xd.
On a
Unix command line, type tc-driver-manager.sh forceInstallDriver was-xd.
- Log in to Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator.
- Click Software Products > IBM® WAS_XD. If the driver
is not installed correctly, the IBM WAS_XD software product does not
exist.
Results
The WebSphere Extended
Deployment driver is installed on Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator.
