Deployment Topology

Use this page to add nodes to deployment environments and assign nodes to the functional areas within a deployment environment based on an IBM-supplied pattern. You can also remove nodes from the deployment environment definition. The panel enforces any functional constraints you define to prevent configuration errors caused by insufficient resources for a specific function.

Security role required: Your userid must be associated with either Administrator or Configurator role to use this page.

To view this administrative console page, click Servers > Deployment Environments > Deployment environment name > Additional Properties > Deployment Topology.

The table contains the following control and information.

Reset
Resets the configuration settings for the node.

If you make changes to a selected node and then decide you want to go back to the original settings, click Reset.

Remove
Removes selected rows from the table, if removing the node does not violate any of the constraints you placed on the deployment environment.
Select
Selects the current row. Selecting a populated row and clicking Remove removes a node.
Add Nodes
From the pull-down list, select a node that you want to add to the deployment environment configuration. Click Add. The node will be added to the table. If an initial port value was specified when the deployment environment was created, this value will be used for the node.
Node
The node name.
Status
An icon that represents the status of the specified node.
Cluster Status
An icon that refers to the associated column, and represents the status of that cluster. If there are multiple nodes in the cluster, the cluster status represents the overall status of all of these nodes.
Version
The actual version of the installed product.
Host
The domain name or IP address of the host on which the node is located.
Application Deployment Target
Specifies how many cluster members on this node must be configured for this function. By default this number is set to one (1) but you can set this higher if you require additional processing resources. Keep in mind that each node generates a virtual machine that will use up resources.
Messaging Infrastructure
Specifies how many cluster members on this node must be configured for this function. By default this number is set to one (1) but you can set this higher if you require additional processing resources. Keep in mind that each node generates a virtual machine that will use up resources.
Supporting Infrastructure
Specifies how many cluster members on this node must be configured for this function. By default this number is set to one (1) but you can set this higher if you require additional processing resources. Keep in mind that each node generates a virtual machine that will use up resources.
Web application infrastructure cluster
Specifies how many cluster members on this node must be configured for this function. By default this number is set to one (1) but you can set this higher if you require additional processing resources. Keep in mind that each node generates a virtual machine that will use up resources.
