Using the Deployment Environment wizard

After performing your installation and creating the deployment manager, custom (managed node) profiles, and a deployment environment, you can extend a network deployment configuration based on the topology pattern templates packaged with the software. You can also extend your deployment by adding cluster members to a cell or adding multiple deployment environments.

Adding clusters:
The easiest way to expand your infrastructure is to add more cluster members to your existing clusters. You can add cluster members to each cluster independently or in combination, depending on where you see the need for growth. You can add an application cluster member, a messaging cluster member, or both. By expanding your clusters this way you can improve your application throughput, your message throughput, or both.
Adding deployment environments:
You can create two independent deployment environments for your applications in the same cell. However, you can create only one Process Center-based deployment environment in a single cell.

Complete the following steps to extend the deployment environment:

Log on to the administrative console. Ensure that the user has appropriate privileges to update the deployment environment.
Click Servers > Deployment Environments > Deployment_Environment_Name.
Use the various options in the administrative console to extend the deployment environment.
