To specify the infrastructure for the dynamic environment,
you create a virtual system pattern on the cloud system.
About this task
The virtual system pattern specifies one or more virtual
images to include in the environment. The pattern also lists the script
packages to apply to the virtual images. These scripts perform tasks
such as opening the firewall and installing the
IBM® UrbanCode Deploy agent.
The
infrastructure can use any operating system or topology that is compatible
with the application and that can run an IBM UrbanCode Deploy agent.
Procedure
- On the web console for the cloud system, create a new virtual
system pattern:
- If you are using IBM Workload Deployer,
click and then click New
.
- If you are using IBM SmartCloud® Provisioning,
click and then click New
.
- Give the pattern a name and click OK.
- Click Edit
.
- In the Parts list, find one or more
base images for the application.
- Drag copies of the base images to the editor. These
base images become the nodes of the pattern.
- Add script packages to the nodes to configure them. The script packages that you need to add depend on your environment,
but in many cases you must open the firewall.
- Add the udeploy_agent_installer_v4 script
package to each image. This script package installs an
agent on images. This script package might have a different name on
your system.
- Click Done editing.
Results
The complete virtual system pattern includes one or more nodes,
each with at least one script package. Later,
you import information about this pattern into your local workspace
and specify how the application is deployed on it.
What to do next
Import information about this pattern into your workspace.
