After you install the product, create unique types of profiles
and augment existing profiles for WebSphere Extended Deployment Data Grid Version
6.1.
Before you begin
Ensure that your environment meets all of the hardware
and software requirements.
- Install WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment Version
6.1 and the latest WebSphere Application Server fix pack.

For more information, see
Using the Update Installer to install maintenance packages
.
Avoid trouble: If your environment contains
WebSphere® Application Server
Network Deployment Version 7.0, you must
install WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.1.0.5 before augmenting
profiles to use with WebSphere Extended Deployment. Do not augment
profiles to use with WebSphere Extended Deployment during the installation
of Version 6.1.
gotcha
About this task
To utilize the product features, create and augment profiles
by using the Profile Management tool plugin or the manageprofiles command.
The Profile Management tool plugin replaces the InstallShield for
Multiplatforms (ISMP) Profile wizard that was offered before the release
of Version 6.1. Run the manageprofiles command
with the WebSphere Application Server wsadmin tool. The following section briefly
describes the different types of profiles that you can create and
augment.
Procedure
- Create a stand-alone application server profile for WebSphere Extended Deployment Data Grid.
- Create a deployment manager profile for WebSphere Extended Deployment Data Grid.
The deployment manager administers the application servers that
are federated into the cell. This profile is already augmented to
use the product features.
- Create a cell profile for WebSphere Extended Deployment Data Grid.
A cell profile consists of a deployment manager and a federated
node. You can use this profile to test the functionality of the product.
- Create a custom profile for WebSphere Extended Deployment Data Grid.
A custom profile is an empty node that you customize through
the deployment manager to include application servers, clusters, or
other Java processes, such as a messaging server.
- Create a profile that utilizes the features of all three
WebSphere Extended Deployment products: Operations Optimization, Compute
Grid, and Data Grid.
- Create a profile that utilizes the features of WebSphere
Extended Deployment with the features of other IBM products, such
as WebSphere Commerce Server and WebSphere Portal for Multiplatforms.
- Augment an existing profile to use the features of WebSphere Extended Deployment Data Grid.
- Augment a profile that utilizes the features of all three
WebSphere Extended Deployment products: Operations Optimization, Compute
Grid, and Data Grid.
What to do next
Depending on which task you choose to complete, launch
the First steps console for assistance with configuring and testing
your product environment. Alternatively, repeat any of the preceding
tasks to create or augment additional profiles.
