WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment
provides a configurable default deployment manager profile.
Before you begin
Read the "Network Deployment deployment
manager profile" topic. The article describes the profile and how
to change TCP/IP ports that it uses.
About this task
After you install WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment, you can start, configure and run the default deployment
manager profile.
Procedure
- Start the default deployment manager.
- On the Control Language (CL) command line, run the Start
Qshell (STRQSH) command.
- At the Qshell prompt, run the following commands:
The startServer command
starts the QWAS7 subsystem if it is not already started.
- Verify that the deployment manager is running
Use
the Work with Active Jobs (WRKACTJOB) command to
determine when the deployment manager is ready to accept administrative
requests through the administrative console.
- Add a node to the network deployment profile, as described
in Adding nodes to deployment manager profiles on IBM i.
Run
the addNode command from the Qshell command shell
to federate the default application server profile into the Network
Deployment cell.
- Verify that the node agent is running, as described in Verifying that the node agent is running on IBM i.
Use
the Work with Active Jobs (WRKACTJOB) command to
determine when the node agent is ready to accept administrative requests
through the administrative console.
- Start the administrative console for the deployment manager.
Open the administrative console in a Web browser, as described
in Starting the administrative console for deployment managers on IBM i.
- Verify that the node exists, as described in Verifying that nodes exist on IBM i.
Use
the administrative console to verify that the WebSphere Application
Server node was successfully added to the deployment manager domain.
Results
The addNode command creates a new server,
the node agent, under the application server profile being added to
the Network Deployment domain. The node agent server is started as
a side effect of adding the node to the domain.
What to do next
Repeat the previous steps for each node (or application
server profile) that you want to manage using your deployment manager
profile.
