Installing a CIP

Simply the product installation process by install a customized installation package (CIP), which is a single product installation image that can include one or more maintenance packages, configuration scripts, and other files.

Before you begin

Before you can install a customized installation package (CIP), you must create a build definition file to specify what options to include in the CIP. See Creating a build definition file and generating a CIP for more information.

Read the readme file, which is located in the CD root directory, and prepare your environment to support an installation. Exit the WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment directory. Installation errors can occur if you inadvertently leave a command line or browser instance open in the profile_root/installedApps directory. To install a customized installation package using the IBM® Installation Factory for WebSphere Extended Deployment 6.0.1, you must first install the IBM Installation Factory for WebSphere Application Server 6.0.2. To install a customized installation package using the IBM Installation Factory for WebSphere Extended Deployment 6.0.2, you must first install the IBM Installation Factory for WebSphere Application Server 6.0.2.

About this task

For WebSphere Extended Deployment 6.0.2, the installation process is similar to a typical WebSphere Extended Deployment installation except for two new panels:
  • One panel displays the specified customization options.
  • The other panel prompts you to choose between installing WebSphere Extended Deployment or applying maintenance. Choose to install the product.

Procedure

  1. Insert the installation CD that contains the customized installation package (CIP) into the CD-ROM, or access the directory in which the CIP is located.
  2. Stop all WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere Extended Deployment processes that are running on the machine that you are preparing for installation.

    To stop the deployment manager, issue the following command:

    [For Windows operating system]
    profile_root/bin/stopManager.bat 
    [For Linux operating system] [For Unix operating system]
    profile_root/bin/stopManager.sh 

    To stop the nodes, issue the following command:

    [For Windows operating system]
    profile_root/bin/stopNode.bat
    [For Linux operating system] [For Unix operating system]
    profile_root/bin/stopNode.sh
    Verify that all the processes are stopped by verifying the running Java™ processes. The graphical user interface (GUI) provides a message of completion.
  3. Run the following command to start the installation:
    [For Windows operating system]
    install.bat
    [For Linux operating system] [For Unix operating system]
    ./install
  4. Review the characteristics of the CIP , and click Next.
  5. Select the type of installation to perform. Click WebSphere Extended Deployment or WebSphere Extended Deployment for mixed server environment, and click Next. This panel does not display if you customize the CIP not to include both types of installations.
  6. Review the Welcome panel, and click Next.
  7. Accept the license agreement, and click Next. After the license is accepted, the prerequisite checking automatically begins. If your system does not have the prerequisites, a window displays the missing prerequisites. Cancel the installation, make the required changes, and restart the installation.
  8. Choose between completing a new WebSphere Extended Deployment installation or applying maintenance to an existing installation. Select a new installation.

  9. Specify the installation location, and click Next. 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 WebSphere Application Server installation directory path in the Installation Location field. A window displays a summary of your installation foundation.
  10. 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 and custom profiles to work for the product.
  11. Click Next to accept the resulting summary of your selections.
  12. Click Next to start the installation process.
  13. Review the confirmation panel, and click Finish to exit the wizard or to review the log files if the installation fails.
  14. Repeat this process for each node in the cell.

Results

You successfully installed the CIP. You can uninstall the product from the install_root/_uninstXD subdirectory.

What to do next

After you install the CIP, create a new profile or augment an existing profile by using the WebSphere Extended Deployment Profile wizard . You can omit this task if you augmented the profile through the Installation wizard.
