Managing deployment environment resources

You can manage the resources of your deployment environment to address changing requirements over time.

Before you begin

  • Verify that the deployment environments exist on this deployment manager.
  • On the administrative console of the deployment manager, click Servers > Deployment Environments.
  • You must completely stop any nodes you are removing from the deployment environment before removing those nodes.
Required security role for this task: You must use a user ID that has WebSphere Application Server administrator or operator privileges.

About this task

As your deployment environment needs evolve, you can manage its resources to address new demands and processing requirements.

In managing the resources of a deployment environment, you can do the following:

  • Add or remove nodes or cluster members.
  • Obtain information on how to configure databases or tables if you previously deferred that operation.
  • Use failed event manager to query and manage failed events.
  • Check the configuration status of the deployment environment.
  • If the deployment environment type is Process Server, change the settings related to Process Server.
  • Change authentication aliases.
