To create dynamic environments on a cloud system, you must
install a script package on your cloud system.
Before you begin
You must have a user account on a cloud system with the permissions
to create script packages.
About this task
The
Install IBM® UrbanCode Deploy Agent package
automatically installs agents on cloud resources. When you provision
an environment from the cloud system, this script package installs
an agent on each node in the cloud resource request. Then, these agents
contact the
IBM UrbanCode Deploy server
and the server adds them to the environment.
Procedure
- Download and extract the installation file for the IBM UrbanCode Deploy plug-ins.
This file is available for download from the IBM Passport Advantage® website. See the IBM UrbanCode Deploy download
document. This file includes the script package,
along with the plug-ins.
- In your cloud system, create a script package and upload
the file ibm-ucd-agent-script-package.zip to
the script package. The process differs slightly for different
cloud systems. For example, for most cloud systems,
follow these steps:
- Click .
- Click New
.
- In the Script name field, specify
the following name:
Install IBM UrbanCode Deploy Agent
The new script package opens.
- In the Script package file field,
upload the file ibm-ucd-agent-script-package.zip.
You do not need to specify default values for the parameters
in this script package. The server specifies these parameters when
you create an environment.
What to do next
Next, create virtual system patterns that use this script
package. See
Creating cloud patterns for resource templates.
