Obtain the product CD for WebSphere Application Server or download the product from the Web. Then, choose either of the following installation options:
Installs the IBM Developer Kit, IBM HTTP Server, DB2 UDB 6.1 with fixpack 4, and WebSphere Application Server products with minimal input required on your part.
Note that you must have CDs or installation programs for both WebSphere Application Server and DB2 UDB 6.1 with a supported fixpack for DB2 UDB 6.1. The WebSphere Application Server CDs come with a separate CD for DB2 UDB 6.1 with fixpack 4.
Suitable for users who already have DB2 UDB installed or who want to install DB2 UDB separately from the WebSphere Application Server installation. Custom installation installs the IBM Developer Kit, IBM HTTP Server, and WebSphere Application Server products.
If you want to separately install DB2 UDB, complete the steps in "Installing DB2 UDB 6.1" or "Installing DB2 UDB 7.1" before installing WebSphere Application Server. DB2 UDB 6.1 is available on the WebSphere CD or by downloading. DB2 UDB 7.1 must be purchased separately from WebSphere Application Server and may be downloaded. Both installation instructions describe how to install DB2 UDB and an appropriate fixpack.
If your system is not connected to the network, also complete the steps in "Setting up TCP/IP for standalone operations".
