Default Network Deployment instance
The name of the default Network Deployment instance is default. The default Network Deployment instance is contained in the directory structure under /QIBM/UserData/WebAS5/ND/default. This instance provides the necessary configuration files for starting and managing the deployment manager server that it contains. It also provides everything necessary to configure and manage WebSphere Application Server instances, or nodes, that are in the deployment manager's cell.
The default instance contains an application server with server name dmgr. The dmgr application server is a special application server which contains the deployment manager. The dmgr server contains the Network Deployment administrative console application and the Network Deployment filetransfer application. These applications enable the distributed management of one or more WebSphere Application Server instances, or nodes.
General properties
- Instance name: default.
- Cell name: hostnameNetwork, where hostname is the host name of the iSeries server. For example, MYISERIESNetwork. The cell name is case-sensitive.
- Node name: hostnameManager, where hostname is the host name of the iSeries server. For example, MYISERIESManager. The node name is case-sensitive
- Application server name: dmgr. The application server name is case-sensitive.
Pre-deployed applications
The dmgr server includes these applications, which enable the distributed management of one or more WebSphere Application Server instances, or nodes.
The Network Deployment administrative console application
The administrative console application allows you to configure and manage the deployment manager, application servers, enterprise applications and other WebSphere Application Server resources within the Network Deployment cell.The filetransfer application
The file transfer application transfers configuration and application files from the deployment manager to one or more managed nodes in the Network Deployment cell.
Default ports
The default Network Deployment instance is configured to use the ports listed here. To change any of these ports, run the chgwassvr script from Qshell:
/QIBM/ProdData/WebAS5/ND/bin/chgwassvr -server dmgr -port_parameter new_portwhere -port_parameter is the parameter that you want to change and new_port is the new port number for that parameter. For example, to change the administrative console port to 9091, run this command:
/QIBM/ProdData/WebAS5/ND/bin/chgwassvr -server dmgr -admin 9091Potential port conflicts with other versions or editions of WebSphere Application Server are noted where appropriate.
