Deploying WebSphere Commerce virtual system patterns or virtual application patterns
WebSphere Commerce provides virtual system patterns and virtual application patterns that you can use to deploy a virtual WebSphere Commerce environment. You can use the patterns with IBM PureApplication System V2.1.0, IBM PureApplication Software V2.1.0, or the IBM PureApplication Service V2.1.0.
Deploying non-production virtual environments
IBM WebSphere Commerce Patterns 2.1.0.1 non-production environments for multiplatform provide virtualization of a single-tier environment for non-production purposes. Deploy these virtual system patterns with IBM PureApplication Software V2.1.0 IBM PureApplication System V2.1.0, or IBM PureApplication Service V2.1.0 to get a 64-bit virtual machine with WebSphere Commerce Enterprise Version 7, Feature Pack 8, and Fix Pack 9 installed and enabled on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. After deployment, use the Virtualization WebSphere Commerce test environment for non-production purposes, as if you installed and configured WebSphere Commerce in a native environment. If you have customizations in a WebSphere Commerce Build and Deployment tool server deployment package, you can deploy them along with the newly created virtual system. The virtual system instance has the latest fix pack, feature pack, and interim fixes applied. If you want to apply any newer fix pack or interim fixes in the future, you can deploy them to the virtual system instance in the workload console.
Accessing the deployed system
After the virtual system is deployed, you can access the virtual system instance.

Accessing the deployed system

After the virtual system is deployed, you can access the virtual system instance.

Procedure

Log in to the deployed virtual machine by providing the correct user IDs and passwords:

For the root user, provide the root password that you specified during deployment.
For the non-root user that you specified during deployment, enter its associated password that you specified during deployment. By default, non-root user is named virtuser. The same user ID and password are used to access the following systems:
- The WebSphere Application Server administrative console. The non-root user ID and password that you specify during deployment are used to define your WebSphere Application Server administrative user.
- The VNC console.
- The WebSphere Commerce administrative tools.

For your convenience, links to "IBM Management Center for WebSphere Commerce" and the legacy "Administrative console" are added under the Consoles of the standalone virtual machine server (Patterns > Virtual Machines).
