Install a customized installation package (CIP) for WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.
Before you begin
Before you use the installation tools, read this topic to prepare
for installation and to learn about installation options. Also read the hardware
and software requirements on the Supported hardware and software Web site to get started.
About this task
This topic describes how to install the product using a CIP. A
CIP installation runs the installation wizard in graphical interface mode
or in silent mode.
The installation wizard performs the following actions:
- Automatically checks system prerequisites
- Looks for a previous WebSphere Application Server
Version 6.0.x installation to determine whether to let you add features to
the product binaries or to install a new set of product binaries
- Looks for a previous Version 6.0.x installation to
determine whether to let you upgrade from a trial installation to the real
product
- Installs the necessary product binaries
- Prompts you to create a cell profile, a deployment manager
profile, a standalone application server profile, or a custom profile; or
prompts you to start the Profile Creation wizard to
create a profile
Procedure
- Plan your installation.
See Planning the installation
.
- Prepare your operating platform for installation.
See Preparing the operating system for product installation
.
- Review the roadmap for installing
the Network Deployment product as described in Roadmap: Installing the Network Deployment product
.
- Install the Network Deployment product.
If you cannot use a graphical user interface on your operating system
for some reason, use the wizard in silent mode.
Choose an installation
scenario to continue the installation:
- Graphical user interface: Perform a typical
installation with the wizard as described in tins_typicaln_cip.html.
The typical installation of the product installs all
of the features.
- Graphical user interface: Perform a custom installation with the
wizard.
The custom installation lets you select features to install.
See Installing a CIP for Network Deployment
.
- Graphical user interface: Install additional features to an existing
installation.
After installing the product, you can install it again to
update the system files by installing previously uninstalled features.
See Installing CIP features on an existing Network Deployment product
.
- Command-line interface: Perform a silent installation as described
in Installing a CIP silently
.
A silent
installation requires you to edit the response file that contains all of your
installation choices. After creating a valid response file, issue the install command
with the -silent parameter and the -options parameter from a command window.
The installer program does not support the ISMP-console installation
method at this time.
If you encounter a problem such as needing more
disk space or temporary space or missing prerequisite packages on your system,
cancel the installation, make the required changes, and restart the installation.

Application Server Network Deployment Version 6.x by following this procedure.
