Preparing i5/OS systems for installation

Learn how to prepare an i5/OS® system for installation of WebSphere® ESB.

About this task

The installation uses an InstallShield Multiplatform (ISMP) wizard. Install on i5/OS in one of three ways:
  • Interactively from a Windows® PC connected to an i5/OS system.
  • Non-interactively with a silent installation running from a Windows PC connected to an i5/OS system.
  • Non-interactively with a silent installation performed natively on an i5/OS system.
Silent mode is invoked at a command line with a parameter that identifies a response file, which you edit before installing.

Use the following procedure to prepare the operating system for installation of WebSphere ESB.

Procedure
  1. Stop all WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere ESB servers that might be running under the QWAS61 subsystem from other product installations on the system.
  2. Verify that the QWAS61 subsystem is ended by using the WRKACTJOB SBS command. If the subsystem is still active, end it using the endsbs command.
  3. Verify that your system meets all hardware and software prerequisites, and install prerequisite software if necessary. See WebSphere ESB detailed system requirements at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27006912 and select the link to your version of the product.

    If you are running a System i server with i5/OS that does not meet the minimum recommended hardware requirements for WebSphere ESB, you can still install and run the product. However, the WebSphere ESB environment might run slowly, and your applications might not run successfully.

  4. Obtain and install the correct i5/OS cumulative PTF package. See Cumulative PTFs for System i for more information.
  5. Verify that you have the latest Group PTFs for the Java™, database, and HTTP Server products applied on the system.

Results

This procedure prepares the operating system for installation of WebSphere ESB.

What to do next

After preparing the operating system, you can install WebSphere ESB. See Installing the software for descriptions of the various installation alternatives available.
