Deploy services


After you have Define process groups for a service of a service. You need to deploy the service into a resource pool to run it.

To choose resource pools for an initial deployment, LOC follows this process:
  1. The Controller examines the resource requirements, software dependencies, and high-availability requirements that you configured for the service.
  2. The Controller examines all resource pools that are currently active, even if they are hosting other services, and uses the following process of elimination to determine which resource pools are candidates for hosting the service:
    • If the service requires high availability, resource pools indicating that they do not support high availability are eliminated as candidates.
    • If the service specifies software requirements, resource pools that do not offer access to all of the required software are eliminated as candidates.
    • If the service consists of a single process, resource pools that offer fewer computing resources than the service's minimum resource requirements are eliminated.
    • If the service consists of multiple processes, LOC might choose multiple resource pools to run the service.
  3. After its process of elimination, LOC determines which resource pool or combination of resource pools can be used to host the service. It uses one of the following algorithms to choose a resource pool or collection of resource pools:
    • Most power - this algorithm chooses the resource pool combination that provides the greatest amount of computing resources.
    • Most efficient - this algorithm chooses the resource pool that most closely matches the minimum resource requirements of the service. This algorithm ensures the most efficient use of resources in your data center.

To deploy a service into a resource pool::

  1. Access the Services page in one of the following ways:
    • Click the Inventory tab in the WLOC navigation bar and click Services.
    • Click the Home tab in the WLOC navigation bar and click Services under Manage Inventory.

    The list of currently defined services is displayed in the Services table.

  2. Select the check box next to each service that you want to deploy.
  3. Click Deploy.

    The Status field in the Services portlet may display one or more transition states as the service is being deployed: deploying, failed deployment, and deployed are all possible states. The following confirmation message appears: Update completed

After you finish

Use the Tasks and Events portlet to view status messages about your service deployment.

Monitor how well your services are meeting their service level agreements by using various features of the LOC Administration Console: monitoring, notification, and logging
