Steps of deployment

  1. Checkout azure-javaee-iaas
    • change to directory hosting the repo project & run mvn clean install
  2. Checkout arm-ttk under the specified parent directory
  3. Checkout this repo under the same parent directory and change to directory hosting the repo project
  4. Build the project by replacing all placeholder ${<place_holder>} with valid values
    • connect to DB2 Server & Elastic Stack 
      mvn -Dgit.repo=<repo_user> -Dgit.tag=<repo_tag> -DadminUser=<adminUser> -DadminPwd=<adminPwd> -DvmAdminId=<vmAdminId> -DvmAdminPwd=<vmAdminPwd> -DdnsLabelPrefix=<dnsLabelPrefix> -DconnectToDB2Server=true -Ddb2ServerName=<db2ServerName> -Ddb2ServerPortNumber=<db2ServerPortNumber> -Ddb2DBName=<db2DBName> -Ddb2DBUserName=<db2DBUserName> -Ddb2DBUserPwd=<db2DBUserPwd> -Ddb2DSJndiName=<db2DSJndiName> -DconnectToELK=true -DcloudId=<cloudId> -DcloudAuthUser=<cloudAuthUser> -DcloudAuthPwd=<cloudAuthPwd> -Dtest.args="-Test All" -Ptemplate-validation-tests clean install
    • connect to DB2 Server only 
      mvn -Dgit.repo=<repo_user> -Dgit.tag=<repo_tag> -DadminUser=<adminUser> -DadminPwd=<adminPwd> -DvmAdminId=<vmAdminId> -DvmAdminPwd=<vmAdminPwd> -DdnsLabelPrefix=<dnsLabelPrefix> -DconnectToDB2Server=true -Ddb2ServerName=<db2ServerName> -Ddb2ServerPortNumber=<db2ServerPortNumber> -Ddb2DBName=<db2DBName> -Ddb2DBUserName=<db2DBUserName> -Ddb2DBUserPwd=<db2DBUserPwd> -Ddb2DSJndiName=<db2DSJndiName> -DconnectToELK=false -Dtest.args="-Test All" -Ptemplate-validation-tests clean install
    • connect to Elastic Stack only 
      mvn -Dgit.repo=<repo_user> -Dgit.tag=<repo_tag> -DadminUser=<adminUser> -DadminPwd=<adminPwd> -DvmAdminId=<vmAdminId> -DvmAdminPwd=<vmAdminPwd> -DdnsLabelPrefix=<dnsLabelPrefix> -DconnectToDB2Server=false -DconnectToELK=true -DcloudId=<cloudId> -DcloudAuthUser=<cloudAuthUser> -DcloudAuthPwd=<cloudAuthPwd> -Dtest.args="-Test All" -Ptemplate-validation-tests clean install
    • connect to neither DB2 Server nor Elastic Stack 
      mvn -Dgit.repo=<repo_user> -Dgit.tag=<repo_tag> -DadminUser=<adminUser> -DadminPwd=<adminPwd> -DvmAdminId=<vmAdminId> -DvmAdminPwd=<vmAdminPwd> -DdnsLabelPrefix=<dnsLabelPrefix> -DconnectToDB2Server=false -DconnectToELK=false -Dtest.args="-Test All" -Ptemplate-validation-tests clean install
  5. Change to ./target/arm directory
  6. Using deploy.azcli to deploy 
    ./deploy.azcli -n <deploymentName> -i <subscriptionId> -g <resourceGroupName> -l <resourceGroupLocation>

After deployment

  • If you check the resource group in azure portal, you will see related resources created
  • To open IBM WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console in browser for further administration:
    • Login to Azure Portal
    • Open the resource group you specified to deploy WebSphere Cluster
    • Navigate to "Deployments > specified_deployment_name > Outputs"
    • Copy value of property adminSecuredConsole and browse it with credentials you specified in cluster creation
  • The WebSphere server will be automatically started whenever the virtual machine is rebooted. In case you want to mannually stop/start/restart the server, using the following commands: 
    systemctl stop websphere    # stop WebSphere server
systemctl start websphere   # start WebSphere server
systemctl restart websphere # restart WebSphere server
