Verifying your deployment environment

Before moving your production applications to the new environment, you must test to make sure that all of the components operate correctly.

Complete the implementation of your deployment environment as described in "Implementing a deployment environment."

  1. Install the software.

  2. Configure a node to host a dmgr.

  3. Configure nodes.
  4. Federate nodes to the dmgr.
  5. Cluster nodes together to provide function for the deployment environment.

How you verify the deployment environment depends on whether the environment you implemented is an IBM-supplied deployment environment or a custom deployment environment. You can manage IBM-supplied deployment environments from a single panel in the administrative console. You must create and manage custom deployment environments manually in the administrative console.


Procedure

  1. Identify the type of deployment environment you are verifying.

    You should already have this information based on your original plans.

  2. Start the deployment environment.
    Type of deployment environment How to start
    IBM-Supplied pattern Start from System administration > Deployment environments > Deployment environment configuration as described in "Starting and stopping deployment environments."
    Custom Start from Servers > Clusters as described in "Verifying a custom deployment environment starts."

    You must start all the servers and clusters defined in the deployment environment.

  3. Install the test application.

  4. Configure the test application for routing.

  5. Start the test application.

  6. Run the test application and verify those results.


What to do next
