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

  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. 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>
