2.8 Replicating a Virtual Machine on which JP1/AJS3 Is Installed and Set Up

After you have installed and set up JP1/AJS3 - Manager and JP1/AJS3 - Agent on a virtual machine, you can replicate that virtual machine. This reduces the workload for installing and setting up JP1/AJS3 instances running on multiple virtual machines.

If you want to replicate the default settings immediately after installing JP1/AJS3 products, replicate the virtual machine after installation. If you want to replicate the environment in which environment setting parameters and system environments have been set up, replicate the virtual machine after the setup.

By replicating a virtual machine, you only have to install and set up JP1/AJS3 for a single virtual machine to operate JP1/AJS3 on multiple virtual machines. You can also prevent omissions or differences in the settings among multiple virtual machines. Thus, the more virtual machines there are, the more effectively replication of a virtual machine can reduce working hours. The following figure shows the relationship between the number of virtual machines and working hours.
