3.3.3 Creating a cell profile

Table 3-3 shows a summary of the options you have during a cell profile creation. Using this option actually creates two distinct profiles, a deployment manager profile and an appserver profile. The appserver profile is federated to the cell. The options you see are a reflection of the options you would see if you were creating the individual profiles versus a cell. The Profile Management Tool windows give you basically the same options that you would see if you created a deployment manager, then an appserver.

Typical Advanced
The console and default application are deployed by default. The sample applications are not deployed. You have the option to deploy the console (recommended), the default application, and the sample applications (if installed).
The profile name for the deployment manager is Dmgrxx by default, where xx is 01 for the first deployment manager profile and increments for each one created. The profile is stored in <was_home>/profiles/Dmgrxx. You can specify the profile name and its location.
The profile name for the federated appserver and node is AppSrvxx by default, where xx is 01 for the first appserver profile and increments for each one created. The profile is stored in <was_home>/profiles/AppSrvxx. You can specify the profile name and its location.
Neither profile is made the default profile. You can choose to make the deployment manager profile the default profile.
The cell name is <host>Cellxx. The node name for the deployment manager is <host>CellManagerxx. The node name for the appserver is <host>Nodexx. The host name is prefilled in with your system's DNS host name. You can specify the cell name, the host name, and the profile names for both profiles.
You can enable administrative security (yes or no). If you select yes, you will be asked to specify a user name and password that will be given administrative authority.
TCP/IP ports will default to a set of ports not used by any profiles in this WebSphere installation instance. Use the recommended ports for each profile (unique to the installation), use the basic defaults, or select port numbers manually.
(Windows) The deployment manager will be run a as service. (Windows) You can choose whether the deployment manager will run as a service.
Does not create a Web server definition. Allows you to define an external Web server to the configuration.
