enough said, right?

'rpm -v' should work

Errata queries should work

Roles:

• Middleware: SCM
• Middleware: Administrator
• Middleware: Engineer
• Platform: Engineer
• Platform: Administrator

This should help: http://community.jboss.org/wiki/JBossAS7UserGuide

Make a little script that picks random hostnames for the user

Given an installation, provide tools for an admin to point to an existing domain and just join it (might require some form of security, eg. a cert/key)

The tools should be clutch in automated elastic cloud situations

Rough Outline

Prepping Your Virtual Environment:

Add a private network to isolate your testing from other VMs:
(optional: you can just use the default network, but will be sharing multicast with all your vms)

[FACT CHECK w/r/t multicast]

• localhost > details > Virtual Networks > new (plus sign) > name eg: jboss1 > ip range eg: 192.168.80.0/24 > enable DHCP, start end in range > forwarding: any, NAT (b/c we'll need to wget and stuff)

  During the install

  • Make sure you are ready to give it a hostname when it prompts (it will happen almost immediately after the install image downloads).

  Testing

  add the jboss network DNSmasq to your /etc/resolv.conf (depending on your network settings, you may have to do this often)

  The Cobbler Method

  Grab my cobbler ISO:

https://ai.salab.dfw.redhat.com/pub/pat/cobbled-2011.06.24-1.iso

New VM:

Name: as7-01
Local Install media
Use ISO Image > point to the cobbler iso
OS: Linux
Version: RHEL 6
Mem: 512
CPU: 1
Enable Storage: 4.0 GB, DO NOT allocate entire disk now
Expand Advanced Options, chose your Virtual Network from before

OR, run this:

($VM_HOST=foo ; virsh...)

More Complicated Scenarios

Write a wiki article for how to build an F15-based AS7 node with KVM, targeted for the cloud
• 3 nodes
• total lack of static configs

• ALL the demos are focused on localhost and assume the server is running. What about offline config and managing from a remote location?

One with multicast, one without {http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsNICSMulticast}

Using profiles to create an automated elastic application that has servers of more than one profile:

• Messaging/ESB
• RESTful Apps
• Data Grid

Using ratios/metrics to determine when to spin up new servers

Jpackage is lame. But what is the alternative?

OSGi? JBoss Modules?
