WebSphere Commerce EnterpriseNew feature for Feature Pack 8Linux

Deploying the virtual system pattern

Provide details about the virtual system pattern in IBM PureApplication Software, IBM PureApplication System, or IBM PureApplication Service. Then, deploy the IBM WebSphere Commerce Pattern V2.1.0.1 environment for Red Hat Enterprise Linux for x86.

Note:
  • Deploying virtual system patterns is similar to deploying virtual application patterns under Patterns > Virtual Application Patterns.
  • You cannot customize the WebSphere Commerce Pattern or Database Pattern deployment configuration files. For example, you cannot change hardcoded values such as database name or WebSphere Commerce instance name. For more information about hardcoded values, see Overview of the deployed WebSphere Commerce environment
Note: Deploying virtual system patterns is similar to deploying virtual application patterns under Patterns > Virtual Application Patterns.

Procedure

  1. In the IBM PureApplication Software user interface, click Patterns > Virtual System Patterns. The Virtual System Patterns pane displays a list of existing virtual system patterns.
  2. Select the non-production pattern. A description and general information about the virtual system pattern displays in the right pane.
    Note: The Commerce virtual system pattern is referencing the WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition with larger disks. In some cases, the pattern import process might point to a different WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition with smaller disks. Ensure that the correct image is used. Otherwise, the deployment might fail.

    If you choose to deploy commerce application as a virtual application pattern, ensure that the correct image is used in the virtual system pattern editor.

  3. Click the Deploy icon on the toolbar.
  4. Provide the following information.
    Virtual System Name
    Enter the name of the virtual system instance in which to deploy this virtual system pattern.
    Choose Environment
    Use the defaults that are provided, or select the environment profile, cloud group, IP group, or priority if choices exist.
    Schedule deployment
    By default this parameter is set to Start now. Change this setting if you want to wait to initiate deployment.
    Component attributes
    Review and, if necessary, change previously set values such as user IDs and passwords, or disk size in GB. The input parameters are organized by components. Click each component to review or to update the attributes.
  5. Click Quick Deploy to start deployment.

Results

Your virtual system is deployed with the following status message, Virtual system is ready.

You now have a non-production WebSphere Commerce environment with Feature Pack 8, and Fix Pack 9 enabled.
