Creating a JBoss 7.1 service offering

This topic describes the tasks that you must perform in BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management to create the service offering that the end user can then use to provision the application infrastructure (for example, an OS and an application package).

Note

Although services and service offerings are bundled with the zipkits, you might want to use the procedures to create a service and service offering to create or edit these artifacts.

It includes the following topics:

To create the service and the service offering

In the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management Administrator console, you must add a service and a service offering.

For JBoss service blueprint, create a service and service offering based on the available deployment model. The JBoss service blueprint supports the following service deployment models:

Deployment model	Description
Single-tier	In the single-tier deployment model, JBoss, JDK and MySQL are installed on a single instance of a server.
Multi-tier	In the multi-tier deployment model, JBoss and JDK are installed on one instance of a server and MySQL is installed on a separate instance of a server.
Standalone model	In the standalone deployment model, only JBoss and JDK are installed on a single instance of a server. MySQL is not installed.

To make the provisioning request

Access Workspaces > Service Instances to display the Service Instances workspace, and click New Service Request.
In the New Service Request dialog box, click the server provisioning service you want to display in the Submit Request dialog box.
Enter the data in the required fields to complete the request for an instance of the service request. You can click Next to review the details.
Click Submit. The request is added to the Pending Activity list in the Service Instances window.

The request status is displayed in the Pending Activity list of the Service Instances window. You can double-click on the service request to see its detailed information.

For more detailed procedures, see Requesting-cloud-services and Requesting-cloud-services-in-the-legacy-console.

To validate the provisioned components

After provisioning the blueprint, you can validate the JBoss along with MySQL components setup in your environment.

Component name	How to verify	Results
OpenJDK or JDK installation	To check if OpenJDK or JDK is installed, run the following command: java --version	It displays the JDK version.
JBoss directory verification	To verify JBoss directory under /opt, run the following command: ls -ld /opt/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final	The JBoss directory is present.
JBoss port number verification	To verify JBoss listening ports (default port is 8080, 9990 and ajp port is 8009), run the following command: netstat -atpn \| grep java \| grep -v grep	The command output contains a list of port numbers.
JBoss server URL	To verify JBoss server, run the following command. http://jbossserver:8080/ or http://jbossserver:9990/	It displays the JBoss server page.
IPtables rules	To create IPtables rules for accessing 8080, 9990 and 8009 ports, run the following command: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 9990 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8009 -j ACCEPT service iptables save	IPtables rules are create at the following location: /etc/sysconfig/iptables
Start JBoss service	To start JBoss service, run the following command: /etc/init.d/jboss-as-standalone.sh start chkconfig jboss-as-standalone.sh on	Starts the JBoss service.
MySQL Installation	To check if MySQL has been installed, run the following command: rpm -qa \| grep -i mysql-server	It displays the MySQL installation details.
Start MySQL service	To start the MySQL service, run the following command: service mysqld start Note: You can use this command when MySQL service is not running.	Starts the MySQL service.
Restart MySQL service	To restart the MySQL service, run the following command: service mysqld restart Note: You can use this command when MySQL service is not responding.	Restarts the MySQL service.

Where to go next

Once you have created the service offering, the cloud end user can request a service offering from the My Cloud Services Console.
