WebSphere Extended Deployment Compute Grid, Version 6.1
             Operating Systems: AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, Windows


Creating profiles for use with other IBM products

You can create profiles that combine WebSphere Extended Deployment features with the features of other IBM products, such as WebSphere Commerce Server and WebSphere Portal for Multiplatforms.

Before you begin

Ensure that your environment meets all of the hardware and software requirements.
  • Install the latest version of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment Version 6.1 and the latest WebSphere Application Server fix pack.
  • Install at least one of the three WebSphere Extended Deployment products: Operations Optimization, Compute Grid, or Data Grid. Apply the latest WebSphere Extended Deployment fix pack.
  • Install the IBM product that you want to augment with WebSphere Extended Deployment.
[Version 6.1.0.5 and later] Avoid trouble: If your environment contains WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment Version 7.0, you must install WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.1.0.5 before augmenting profiles to use with WebSphere Extended Deployment. Do not augment profiles to use with WebSphere Extended Deployment during the installation of Version 6.1.gotcha

Procedure

  1. Create a new profile for the WebSphere Extended Deployment product that is installed. If you installed multiple WebSphere Extended Deployment products, you are not required to create multiple profiles. Instead, create a profile for only one of the products, depending on your topology and any support requirements.
    1. Use one of the following ways to start the Profile Management tool plugin:
      • Select Profile Management Tool in the First steps console.
      • Use the Start menu to access the Profile Management Tool.
      • Issue the following command from the install_root/bin/ProfileManagement directory:
        • [For Linux operating system] [For Unix operating system] ./pmt.sh
        • [For Windows operating system] pmt.bat
      The Action Selection page is then displayed if at least one profile and augment templates exist. Click Create to continue.
    2. Review the Welcome page, and click Next.
    3. Select the type of environment to create, and click Next.
    4. Select a profile type to include in the selected environment, and click Next. Available profile types are stand-alone application server, deployment manager, cell, and custom.
    5. Select a profile creation option, and click Next. Select Typical profile creation to create a profile that uses the default configuration settings.
    6. Enable security by clicking Enable administrative security, provide a user name and password to access the administrative tools, and click Next.
    7. Review the summary of your selections, and click Create.
    8. Review the completion page, and click Finish.
  2. Augment the profile with the augment templates for the other products that exist in your environment. For example, you install Operations Optimization, Compute Grid, and IBM Enterprise Workload Manager, and you create a new Operations Optimization profile. Augment the profile with the augment template for Compute Grid first. Next, perform a separate augmentation of the same profile by applying the augment template for IBM Enterprise Workload Manager.
    1. Start the Profile Management tool plugin. Run the ./pmt.sh|bat command from the install_root/bin/ProfileManagement directory, or select Profile Management Tool from the First steps console. The Action Selection page is then displayed only if at least one profile and augment templates exist. Click Augment.
    2. Review the Welcome page, and click Next.
    3. Select the existing profile that you want to augment, and click Next.
    4. Select the augment that you want to apply to the profile, and click Next. The Profile Verification page is displayed. This page verifies if the profile can be augmented by the selected augment.
      Restriction: Some augment templates cannot be used more than once with each profile. If unsuccessfully attempted, a message appears that states the selected template does not support multiple augmentations. Click OK, and select a different template.
    5. Review the Profile Augmentation Summary page, and click Augment. The Profile Augmentation Complete page is displayed. Because you are creating the profile specifically for multiple products, click Augment another profile to return to the Profile Selection page.

      Repeat the process until the profile is augmented with the augment template for each installed product.

Results

The profile is now augmented to use the features of WebSphere Extended Deployment and other IBM products.
