Resource Type: websphere_federate

Defined in:

lib/puppet/type/websphere_federate.rb

Providers:

wsadmin

Overview

Manages the federation of WebSphere application servers with a cell.

By default, this resource expects that a data file will be available in Puppet’s ‘$vardir` containing information about the DMGR cell to federate with.

By default, this module’s ‘websphere::profile::dmgr` defined type will export a file resource containing this information. The application servers that have declared `websphere::profile::appserver` will collect that exported resource and place it under `$vardir/dmgr_$dmgr_host_$cell.yaml` For example: `/var/opt/lib/pe-puppet/dmgr_dmgr.example.com_cell01.yaml` This is all automatic behind the scenes.

To federate, the application server needs to know the DMGR SOAP port, which is included in this exported/collected file. Optionally, you may provide it as a parameter value if you’re using this resource type directly.

Essentially, the provider for this resource type executes ‘addNode.sh` to do the federation.

Properties

• ensure (defaults to: present)

  Valid values: ‘present`, `absent`

  Defaults to ‘present`. Specifies whether this application server profile should be federated or not. Executes `addNode.sh` and `removeNode.sh` under the hood.

  Supported values:

  • present
  • absent
  • federated (alias for: present)

Parameters
