Type: websphere_node

Manages the an "unmanaged" WebSphere node in a cell. For example, adding an IHS server to a cell.

In wsadmin terms using jython, this basically translates to the AdminTask.createUnmanagedNode task.

Example

websphere_node { 'IHS Server':
  node         => 'ihsServer01',
  os           => 'linux',
  hostname     => 'ihs01.example.com',
  cell         => 'CELL_01',
  dmgr_profile => 'PROFILE_DMGR_01',
  profile_base => '/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles',
  user         => 'webadmins',
}

Exported resource example

An IHS server can export a resource:

@@websphere_node { $::fqdn:
  node      => $::fqdn,
  os        => 'linux',
  hostname  => $::fqdn,
  cell      => 'CELL_01',
  dmgr_host => 'dmgr01.example.com',

A DMGR can collect it and append its profile information to it:

Websphere_node <<| cell == 'CELL_01' |>> {
  dmgr_profile => 'PROFILE_DMGR_01',
  profile_base => '/opt/IBM/Websphere/AppServer/profiles',
  user         => 'webadmins',
}

Parameters

ensure

Valid values: present, absent

Defaults to true. Specifies whether this node should exist or not.

name

The name of the node to add. Defaults to the resource's title.

hostname

The hostname that the server can be reached at - probably the FQDN.

node

The name of the node manage. Synonomous with name. Defaults to the value of name. I'm not sure why both exist - name is actually only used to identify the Puppet resource, but the node parameter value is what gets translated into wsadmin arguments.

os

Required. The Operating System of the node you're adding.

Valid values are: linux and aix

Defaults to linux

cell

The cell that this node should belong to. This has no influence over the wsadmin command, but is used for instances where exported/collected resources are used. For example, if an IHS server exports a websphere_node resource and a DMGR collects it, it should collect based on the cell it's managing.

dmgr_profile

Required. The name of the DMGR profile to create this node under.

Examples: PROFILE_DMGR_01 or dmgrProfile01

profile_base

Required. The full path to the profiles directory where the dmgr_profile can be found. The IBM default is /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles

dmgr_host

The DMGR host to add this node to.

This is required if you're exporting the node for a DMGR to collect. Otherwise, it's optional.

user

Optional. The user to run the wsadmin command as. Defaults to "root"

wsadmin_user

Optional. The username for wsadmin authentication if security is enabled.

wsadmin_pass

Optional. The password for wsadmin authentication if security is enabled.
