Defined Type: websphere::ihs::server

This defined type is used to manage the user and group ownership of a target directory.

While IBM Installation Manager does allow installing as a non-root user, this module does not support that use-case. When installing as non-root, package metadata is located in a non-predictable location, and ultimately, this data could be located in several locations. That said, this module will install packages as root. However, it's often desirable to modify the ownership of the installation post-install.

Example

websphere::ihs::server { 'josh_test':
  target      => "${ibm_base_dir}/HTTPServer85",
  log_dir     => "/opt/log/websphere/httpserver",
  plugin_dir  => "${ibm_base_dir}/Plugins85/config/josh_test",
  plugin_base => "${ibm_base_dir}/Plugins85",
  cell        => $dmgr_cell,
  config_file => '/opt/was/IBM/HTTPServer85/conf/httpd_josh_test.conf',
  access_log  => '/opt/log/websphere/httpserver/access_log',
  error_log   => '/opt/log/websphere/httpserver/error_log',
  listen_port => '10080',
}

Parameters

target

Required. Specifies the full path to the IHS installation that this server should belong to. For example, /opt/IBM/HTTPServer

httpd_config

Specifies the full path to the HTTP configuration file to manage.

Defaults to ${target}/conf/httpd_${title}.conf

user

The user that should "own" and run this server instance. The service will be managed as this user. This also corresponds to the "User" option in the HTTP configuration.

group

The group that should "own" and run this server instance. This also corresponds to the "Group" option in the HTTP configuration.

docroot

Specifies the full path to the document root for this server instance.

Defaults to ${target}/htdocs

instance

This currently doesn't do anything. It defaults to the resource's title.

httpd_config_template

Specifies a Puppet-readable location for a template to use for the HTTP configuration. One is provided, but this allows you to use your own custom template.

Defaults to ${module_name}/ihs/httpd.conf.erb

timeout

Specifies the value for Timeout

Defaults to 300

max_keep_alive_requests

Specifies the value for MaxKeepAliveRequests

Defaults to 100

keep_alive

Specifies the value for KeepAlive

Valid values are On or Off

Defaults to On

keep_alive_timeout

Specifies the value for KeepAliveTimeout

Defaults to 10

thread_limit

Specifies the value for ThreadLimit

Defaults to 25

server_limit

Specifies the value for ServerLimit

Defaults to 64

start_servers

Specifies the value for StartServers

Defaults to 1

max_clients

Specifies the value for MaxClients

Defaults to 600

min_spare_threads

Specifies the value for MinSpareThreads

Defaults to 25

max_spare_threads

Specifies the value for MaxSpareThreads

Defaults to 75

threads_per_child

Specifies the value for ThreadsPerChild

Defaults to 25

max_requests_per_child

Specifies the value for MaxRequestsPerChild

Defaults to 25

limit_request_field_size

Specifies the value for LimitRequestFieldsize

Defaults to 12392

listen_address

Specifies the address for the Listen HTTP option. Can be an asterisk to listen on everything.

Defaults to $::fqdn

listen_port

Specifies the port for the Listen HTTP option.

Defaults to 10080

server_admin_email

Specifies the value for the ServerAdmin e-mail address.

Defaults to [email protected]

server_name

Specifies the value for the ServerName HTTP option. Typically, an HTTP ServerName option will look like:

ServerName host:port

This specifies the host part of that.

Defaults to $::fqdn

server_listen_port

Specifies the port value for the ServerName HTTP option. Typically, an HTTP ServerName option will look like:

ServerName host:port

This specifies the port part of that. Often, this will be the same as the listen_port, but there are cases where this would differ. For example, if this server instance is behind a load balancer or VIP.

node_os

Specifies the operating system for this server. This is used for the DMGR to create an unmanaged node for this server.

By default, this will be figured out based on the $::kernel fact.

We currently only support "aix" and "linux"

pid_file

Specifies the base filename for a PID file. Defaults to the resource's title.

This isn't the full path - just the filename.

replace_config

Boolean. Specifies whether Puppet should replace this server's HTTP configuration once it's present. Basically, if the file doesn't exist, Puppet will create it. If this parameter is set to true, Puppet will also make sure that configuration file matches what we describe. If this value is false, Puppet will ignore the file's contents.

You should probably leave this set to true and manage the config file through Puppet exclusively.

directory_index

Specifies the DirectoryIndex for this instance.

Should be a string that has space-separated filenames.

Defaults to index.html index.html.var

log_dir

Specifies the full path to where access/error logs should be stored.

Defaults to ${target}/logs

access_log

The filename for the access log. Defaults to access_log

error_log

The filename for the error log. Defaults to error_log

export_node

Boolean. Specifies whether a websphere_node resource should be exported. This is intended to be used for DMGRs to collect to create an unmanaged node.

Defaults to true

export_server

Boolean. Specifies whether a websphere_web_server resource should be exported for this server.

This is intended to be used for a DMGR to collect to create a web server instance.

Defaults to true

node

Specifies the node name to use for creation on a DMGR.

Defaults to $::fqdn

Required if export_node is true

node_hostname

Specifies the resolvable address for this server for creating the node.

The DMGR host needs to be able to reach this server at this address.

Defaults to $::fqdn

cell

The cell that this node should be a part of.

Required if export_node is true

admin_username = 'httpadmin',

Specifies the administrator username that a DMGR can query and manage this server with.

Defaults to httpadmin

This is required if export_server is true.

`admin_password = 'password',

Specifies the administrator password that a DMGR can query and manage this server with.

Defaults to password

This is required if export_server is true.

plugin_base

Specifies the full path to the plugin base directory.

Defaults to /opt/IBM/Plugins

propagate_keyring

Boolean. Specifies whether the plugin keyring should be propagated from the DMGR to this server once the web server instance is created on the DMGR.

Defaults to true

This is only relevant if export_server is true

dmgr_host

The DMGR host to add this server to.

This is required if you're exporting the server for a DMGR to collect. Otherwise, it's optional.
