Starting and stopping deployment environments

You can start or stop deployment environments based on IBM-supplied patterns directly from the administrative console; this action stops and starts all clusters in the deployment environment.

Before you begin

Verify that deployment environments exist on this deployment manager. From the administrative console of the deployment manager, click Servers > Deployment Environments.
Required security role for this task: When security and role-based authorization are enabled, you must log into the administrative console as a CellAdmin or DeAdmin to perform this task.

About this task

Starting and stopping a deployment environment invokes a stop or start operation on all the clusters in the deployment environment at the same time, which might cause warnings or exceptions in the SystemOut.log file. If the deployment environment contains multiple clusters that depend on one another, it is recommended that you start and stop the individual clusters in the deployment environment as described in Starting and stopping a cluster.

Follow these steps to start or stop a deployment environment.

Procedure

  1. From the Deployment Environments page in the administrative console, click the check boxes next to the names of the deployment environments to start or stop.
  2. Take one of the actions:
    Action Result
    Click Start. The deployment manager starts the clusters that make up the deployment environments.
    Click Stop. The deployment manager stops the clusters that make up the deployment environments.
    Note: This process can take several minutes depending on the size of the deployment environment.

Results

The display refreshes to indicate the status of the deployment environments.
