WebSphere Application Server - Managing Profiles and Server Names

This is in the context of managing profiles in WebSphere Application Server, using the manageprofiles.sh command.

A friend asked me how he could set the name of a specific server instance ( think JVM ) when he was creating a profile …

This is what I told him: -

/opt/ibm/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/manageprofiles.sh -profilePath /opt/ibm/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/diesel -enableService false -nodeName chugger -serverName hst125 -profileName diesel -create -cellName trainsRcool -enableAdminSecurity false -hostName bpm857.uk.ibm.com -templatePath /opt/ibm/WebSphere/AppServer/profileTemplates/default

where I'm setting the following variants: -

-nodeName chugger

-serverName hst125

-profileName diesel

-cellName trainsRcool

So that's all good then ….
