By deploying applications to dynamic clusters, requests
to the application can be managed autonomically. The dynamic cluster
can expand and contract with application server virtualization. By
deploying applications to dynamic clusters, you enable application
virtualization.
Before you begin
Verify that you have WebSphere® Virtual Enterprise running
and have access to an application for installation. Configure a dynamic
cluster. You
must know the specific cell and dynamic cluster on which you want
to deploy.
About this task
When you deploy your application to a dynamic cluster that
is in automatic mode, the product can automatically control the size
and placement of dynamic clusters on the nodes, according to the business
goals of your application.
Procedure
- Deploy the application to your dynamic cluster. In
the administrative console, click Applications > Install new application or Applications > Install new middleware application
> Java™ 2
Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) type.
Restriction: The application name must be unique
among all the applications that are deployed in the cell.
For example, you cannot deploy a PHP application
and a J2EE application
that have the same name.
- On the Map modules to application servers panel
in the wizard, map your application to the cell and dynamic cluster
name, or the deployment target, that is specific to your dynamic cluster.
- Complete the wizard panels and click Finish.
What to do next
Define a service policy for the newly deployed application.
