The following list describes
the templates for application servers:
The defaultXD template is the default template
for WebSphere Extended Deployment. Use this template when you are
creating a dynamic cluster on distributed platforms.
Use the defaultXDZOS template
when creating a dynamic cluster on the z/OS operating system.
The default template is the WebSphere Application Server
Version 6 or higher template. This template is identical to the defaultXD
template except that the Web container thread pool maximum size is
50 in the default template and is 500 in the defaultXD template.
The DeveloperServer template is a default template that
you can use when you are developing your applications.
The default_5X template is the default
WebSphere Application Server Version 5 or higher template.
The default WebSphere Application Server templates
are the defaultZOS template for Version 6 or
higher, and the defaultZOS_5X template for
Version 5 or higher.
You can also specify a template for middleware servers
with complete lifecycle management, such as PHP and
WebSphere Application Server Community Edition servers. Predefined
templates exist that you can use in your dynamic cluster, or you can
create your own server template. To create your own server template,
click Servers > All servers
> Templates... > New.
Select Create the cluster member using an existing
server as a template to model the servers for the dynamic
cluster after an existing application server. Choose a server from
the list.
The templates that display correspond to the
platform and product version of your deployment manager.
