Planning for Network Deployment cells with application servers

This article covers the requirements for a Network deployment cells with application servers.

About this task

A Network Deployment cell is a full-function WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® configuration on which you can deploy and run applications. A Network Deployment cell with application server includes the following:
  • Cell configuration
  • Deployment manager that runs the administrative console application
  • Single location service daemon on each z/OS system
  • One application server consisting of a node agent and one application server
  • One or more application server nodes (one is recommended) on each z/OS target system hosting portions of the cell. Each node consists of a node agent and some number of application servers
This part of the configuration process creates the initial cell configuration, the deployment manager, and a location service daemon for the z/OS system, plus a node agent with an application server. Once the Network Deployment cell is created, you can add additional application server nodes by creating and federating new managed nodes, or by federating standalone application server nodes into the Network Deployment cell.
When configuring your deployment manager node, set up your file system such that the root file system is shared among all processors and the deployment manager's configuration is in a configuration file system on a system-generic mount point.
Note: This configuration scenario is the best for certain tasks, such as starting the deployment manager on another system, that you might want to perform in the future.

Procedure

  1. Print a copy of the customization worksheet.
  2. Fill out the worksheet as described in z/OS customization variables: Network Deployment cells with application servers.
  3. Save the worksheet for use during Network Deployment cell with an application server customization.
