After you install the product, you can augment an existing
profile to make it compatible with WebSphere® Extended Deployment
Compute Grid Version 6.1. To use product features, at least one
profile augmented for the product must exist in your environment. Use the graphical user interface (GUI), which is
provided by the Profile Management tool plugin, to complete this task.
Before you begin
At least one profile, which can be
augmented, must exist on your system. 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.
- Install WebSphere Extended Deployment Compute Grid Version 6.1 and the latest WebSphere
Extended Deployment fix pack.
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.
