WAS: PCT Response file questions

Scenario 1: 4 nodes
Node 1: DeploymentManager + ApplicationServer1
Node 2: ApplicationServer2
Node 3: IHS WebServer1
Node 4: IHS WebServer2
 
Node1 and Node2 clustered.
 
Question 1: which server hostname should be for wasMachineHostName? Deployment manager server hostname? Or ApplicationServer1 hostname? Or ApplicationServer2 hostname?
ANSWER:   It does not matter which hostname.  I would probably use the hostname of the deployment manager myself.  But it really does not matter ether way.  Be sure to choose REMOTE in the PCT, and also you will want to configure the IHS Admin Server  so that you can remotely manage both IHS web servers from the WAS Admin Console.

 
Scenario 2: 2 nodes
Node 1: DeploymentManager + ApplicationServer1 +  IHS WebServer1
Node 2: ApplicationServer2 + IHS WebServer2
 
Question 1: how to decide configType value for WebServer1 and WebServer2
ANSWER:  If the web server is on the same system as the WAS appserver, then it is LOCAL.  In this case, use LOCAL for both of them.

Question 2: what should be the value of profileName for WebServer1?
ANSWER:  for LOCAL scenario, always use the profile name of the WAS node (ie. AppSrv01).  Never use the deployment manager profile name (ie. Dmgr01).

Question 3: What should be the value of wasMachineHostName for WebServer1?
ANSWER:  wasMachineHostName is only used for REMOTE scenario.  So, you do not need that variable at all in this LOCAL case.

Question 4: what should be the value of profileName for WebServer2?
ANSWER:   use the name of the WAS node profile (ie. AppSrv01).

Question 5: what should be the value of wasMachineHostName for WebServer2?
ANSWER:  this is a LOCAL scenario so wasMachineHostName is not needed.
