Start and configuring the default deployment manager profile

WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment provides a configurable default deployment manager profile. Read about the Network Deployment deployment manager profile. The article describes the profile and how to change TCP/IP ports that it uses.

Overview

Procedure

1. Start the default deployment manager.

   1. On the Control Language (CL) command line, run the Start Qshell (STRQSH) command.

   2. At the Qshell prompt, run the following commands:

      cd app_server_root/bin
      startServer dmgr

      The startServer command starts the QWAS61 subsystem if it is not already started.

2. Verify that the deployment manager is running

   Use the Work with Active Jobs (WRKACTJOB) command to determine when the deployment manager is ready to accept administrative requests through the administrative console.

3. Add a node to the network deployment profile, as described in Adding a node to the deployment manager profile.

   Run the addNode command from the Qshell command shell to federate the default application server profile into the Network Deployment cell.

4. Verify that the node agent is running, as described in Verifying that the node agent is running.

   Use the Work with Active Jobs (WRKACTJOB) command to determine when the node agent is ready to accept administrative requests through the administrative console.

5. Start the administrative console for the deployment manager.

   Open the administrative console in a Web browser, as described in Starting the administrative console for the deployment manager.

6. Verify that the node exists, as described in Verifying that the node exists.

   Use the administrative console to verify that the WebSphere Application Server node was successfully added to the deployment manager domain.

Results

The addNode command creates a new server, the node agent, under the application server profile being added to the Network Deployment domain. The node agent server is started as a side effect of adding the node to the domain.

What to do next

Repeat the previous steps for each node (or application server profile) that you want to manage using your deployment manager profile.

Next: Go to Verifying that the deployment manager is running to verify that the deployment manager is running.
