Planning for deployment managers

Consider these points when configuring deployment managers.

About this task

When configuring your deployment manager node, keep the following in mind:
  • When allocating target datasets for this option, it is possible, though not recommended, to use the same target datasets that you used for the standalone application server node. The job names for each configuration are very close to one another; and if you use the same target datasets, you might find it difficult to keep the two sets of jobs separate. Therefore, it is better to create a new set of target datasets and keep the two sets of jobs separate from one another.
  • If possible, 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 HFS 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.
