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.
