About this task

Complete the following steps to install the product, and create a basic environment:

Procedure

  1. Insert the installation CD into the CD-ROM.
  2. Stop all the processes that are running on the workstation that you are preparing for installation. Type the following commands:
    • [For Linux operating system] [For Unix operating system] ./stopManager.sh
    • [For Windows operating system] stopManager.bat
    • [For Linux operating system] [For Unix operating system] ./stopNode.sh
    • [For Windows operating system] stopNode.bat
    Verify that the running Java processes are stopped. The wizard provides a message of completion.
  3. Type the following command to start the installation:
    • [For Windows operating system] install.bat
    • [For Linux operating system] [For Unix operating system] ./install.sh
  4. Select WebSphere Extended Deployment as the type of installation that you want to perform and click Next.
  5. Review the Welcome panel, and click Next.
  6. Read and accept the license agreement, and click Next. After you accept the license, the prerequisite checking automatically begins. If your system is not at the recommended level, a window displays the missing prerequisites. You can proceed with prerequisite errors, however, the installation might fail.
  7. Specify the installation location. From the list, select the WebSphere Application Server installation that you are extending. If you use another installation path and it does not display in the table, type the directory path in the Installation Location field, and click Next.
  8. Select the existing profiles for your installation to augment, and click Next. You can also augment a profile later by using the Profile wizard or the wasprofile command. Augment the deployment manager profile and the custom profile to work for this product.

  9. Click Next to accept the installation summary, or click Back to change your selections.
  10. Review the confirmation panel, and click Finish to exit the wizard or to review the log files if the installation fails.
  11. Repeat this process to install the product on each node in the cell.
    Tip: Use the same CD to install the product on the nodes.

    Next, configure each node to meet your objectives, which you can do either from the administrative console, or by using the wsadmin tool.

    1. Click Servers > All servers to configure each node from the administrative console.
    2. See Scripts to configure each node by using the wsadmin tool.

Results

Additional files and directories now display in your WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment installation path. For example, additional Java archive (JAR) files that begin with XD display in your install_root/lib directory. Several new options and other differences display in the administrative console.

What to do next

After you install the product, select Launch First Steps Console to go directly to the Profile Creation and Migration wizards.
