Create a deployment manager

When you set up a cluster, you must create a deployment manager profile. Use the Configuration Wizard to set up the profile.

Configuration Wizard

The Create a Deployment Manager is a sub step in the Set Up a Cluster configuration.

Creating a deployment manager

You can create the new deployment manager profile on the same server as portal or on a remote server.

If the deployment manager is on a different server than your portal, the create deployment manager profile process has one manual step. Based on the information that you provide in the wizard, the wizard creates custom instructions for the manual step.

Each potential step in the configuration is included.
