Add a multicluster service package to
the federation cluster repository.
Before you begin
A multicluster
administrator, or a user with the SMC_CLUSTER_CONTROL can use the multicluster management console to manage multicluster service packages.
Procedure
-
From the multicluster management console, click .
A list of all service packages from the federation cluster repository displays.
-
Click Add to open the add or update dialog.
-
Specify the consumer path for this service package:
-
Click the link next to the Parent Consumer field to open a select
dialog.
-
Select the specific consumer name and path to which the service package refers. You can expand
that paths by clicking the plus (+) icon).
-
Click Set Path.
The selected consumer path displays next to the Parent Consumer
field.
-
Click Choose File to browse for the service package you want to add, and
select the service package to add.
-
Specify how you want the service package name to display in the Service Packages list in the
multicluster management console:
- To use the file name as the service package name, select Use the filename as the
package name and click Add.
- To use the another name as the service package name, select Provide a name for
the package, specify the service package name in the New name
field, and click Add.
-
Every service package-consumer path combination within the federation repository must be
unique. If you specify a service name that already exists for a consumer in the repository, a dialog
displays indicating this, asking you if you want to override the existing service package name with
the one you are adding. Since this is a new service package (not one replacing an existing service
package), then click Cancel to exit this dialog, and change the service
package name in the New name field to avoid conflicts and overriding the
existing one.
Results
If the service package that you select is dependent on other service packages, the system prompts
you to take action before it can add your selected service package. Once successful, the Service Packages list within the
multicluster management console includes the
newly added service package name.
