Exporting deployment environment definitions helps you
speed the implementation of deployment environments by minimizing
the configuration on each deployment manager. You can use the exported
deployment environment on other deployment managers as a template
for the deployment environment. You can also replicate the same deployment
environment configuration on a large scale.
Before you begin
- Define at least one deployment environment on a deployment manager.
- Log in to the administrative console of the deployment manager
from which you are exporting the deployment environment definitions.
- On the administrative console of the deployment manager navigate
to .
Required security role for this task: When
security and role-based authorization are enabled, you must log in
to the administrative console as an administrator or configurator
to perform this task.
About this task
If you are implementing a number of deployment environments
based on the same designs, you can export the deployment environment
definitions to use as templates for deployment environments on other
deployment managers.
Procedure
- On the Deployment Environments page,
select the check boxes next to the deployment environment definitions
to export.
- Click Export. The
system response depends on whether you select:
| Number of deployment environments to export |
Action |
|---|
| One |
At the prompt, enter the name of the exported file. The default
name is deployment_environment_name.xml.
To change the default name, specify the full file path. |
| Multiple |
At the prompt, enter the output directory in which to place
the exported compressed file that contains the deployment environment
definitions. By default, the system names the compressed file first_env_name.zip.
To change the default name, specify the full file path. Note: You cannot
directly import a compressed file, you must extract the deployment
environment definitions to the target file system.
|
- Verify that the system created the files.
What to do next
You can import the exported files to other deployment managers.
