Choose a method for configuring an ND
You have three options for configuring an ND environment, if you are not using the configureNode command.
- Deployment Environment wizard
- Administrative Console
- wsadmin command
They each configure a deployment environment after you have used pmt.sh or the manageProfiles or zpmt.sh command to create server profiles.
- If you select Deployment Environment wizard, the generated instructions include information about using the GUI to create the network dmgr.
- If you select Administrative Console, the generated instructions include information about using the WAS Administrative console to create the deployment environment.
- If you select wsadmin commands (silent), the generated instructions include information about using command line interface to create the deployment environment, facilitating silent configuration.
These options are not available if you choose to perform a typical installation, in which case a profile is created automatically, or if you are installing a stand-alone environment, in which case you do not need an ND environment, or if you choose to use the configureNode command to create the profiles.
