Configuring eXtreme Scale servers to run in the Liberty profile

[Version 8.5 and later] You must create server and catalog service definitions to run WebSphere® eXtreme Scale in the Liberty profile.

Before you begin

Install the WebSphere Application Server Liberty profile and WebSphere eXtreme Scale. For more information, see Installing the Liberty profile.

Procedure

  1. Create a server definition; for example:
    <wlp install_root>/bin/server create <your server name>
  2. Find the server.xml file under your server definition and open it in an editor. A commented feature manager stanza already exists. You can find the server definition in the following directory:
    <wlp install_root>/usr/servers/<your server name>
  3. Create a catalog service definition. To define a catalog service in a server, you need the WebSphere eXtreme Scale server feature and the server configuration file.
    1. Add the server feature to the server definition: [Version 8.5 only]
      <featureManager> 
           <feature>eXtremeScale_server-1.0</feature> 
      </featureManager>
    2. Add the configuration to tell the server feature that this server is a catalog service; for example:
      <com.ibm.ws.xs.server.config isCatalog="true"/>

What to do next

After you configure eXtreme Scale servers, you can start yours servers in the Liberty profile. For more information, see Starting and stopping servers in the Liberty profile.
