Create a configuration profile for the xsadmin utility
There are many ways for you to customize the sample xsadmin utility for the requirements.
The following sections show you how to create a profile for the xsadmin sample utility for WebSphere eXtreme Scale. With a profile, you can reduce the length of the commands for frequently specified parameters.
Procedure
- Before moving on to creating and using a profile, have begun at least a basic deployment of eXtreme Scale. This requires at least one catalog server and at least one container server. For more information, see startOgServer.
- Create a configuration properties file and place it at the following path:
/opt/ibm/WebSphere/wxs71/ObjectGrid/security/<my.properties>
You can replace <my.properties> with your choice of what to name the file.
Set the following properties in the file:
- XSADMIN_TRUST_TYPE=jks
- XSADMIN_TRUST_PATH=/opt/ibm/WebSphere/wxs71/ObjectGrid/bin/security/key.jks
- XSADMIN_USERNAME=ogadmin
- Run one of the following choices from the command line and observe the output on the screen. The first bullet describes the text from a verbose setting, and the second bullet shows non-verbose output.
- Verbose command line: ./xsadmin.sh -l -v -password xsadmin -ssl -trustPass ogpass -profile /opt/ibm/WebSphere/wxs71/ObjectGrid/security/<my.properties>
