About this task
Complete the following steps to install the product, and
create a basic environment:
Procedure
- Insert the installation CD into the CD-ROM.
- Stop all the processes that are running on the workstation
that you are preparing for installation. Type the following commands:
./stopManager.sh
stopManager.bat
./stopNode.sh
stopNode.bat
Verify that the running Java processes are stopped. The
wizard provides a message of completion.
- Type the following command to start the installation:
- Select WebSphere Extended Deployment as
the type of installation that you want to perform and click Next.
- Review the Welcome
panel, and click Next.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Click Next to accept the installation summary, or
click Back to change your selections.
- Review the confirmation panel, and click Finish to
exit the wizard or to review the log files if the installation fails.
- 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.
- Click Servers > All servers to configure each
node from the administrative console.
- See Scripts
to configure each node by using
the wsadmin tool.
