Creating server templates

A server template is used to define the configuration settings for a new application server. When you create a new application server, you either select the default server template or a template you previously created, that is based on another, already existing application server. The default template is used if you do not specify a different template when you create the server.

About this task

To create a server template.

Procedure

  1. [z/OS] Use the createServerTemplate command for the AdminTask object.

    If you do not create any additional server templates, the defaultZOS template is used as the template for the first cluster member. This template uses the default port assignments for the z/OS platform. If some of these ports are already defined for use elsewhere in your z/OS system, your newly created cluster member might not start, might function incorrectly, or might generate unexpected error messages. Therefore, you must resolve any port conflicts before you start this server.

  2. [AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows] [i5/OS] In the administrative console, click Servers > Application Servers, and then click Templates.

    You can also use the createServerTemplate command for the AdminTask object to create a server template.

  3. [AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows] [i5/OS] On the Server templates page, click New.
  4. [AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows] [i5/OS] From the list of servers, select the server that you want to use to create the new template, and then click OK.
  5. [AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows] [i5/OS] Enter the name of the new template and, optionally, a description of that template that distinguishes it from your other templates.
  6. [AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows] [i5/OS] click OK.

Results

Your new template is automatically added to the list of server templates that you can use to create a new application server or cluster member.

What to do next

You can perform one of the following actions to display a list of all of the server templates that are available on your system:
  1. In the administrative console, click Servers > Application Servers , and then click Templates.
  2. Issue the listServerTemplates wsadmin command.
