Planning the product installation

Use this information to install and configure product packages on AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, and Windows operating systems.

Before you begin

[Version 6.1.0.5 and later] Avoid trouble: Do not augment profiles during the installation of WebSphere® Extended Deployment Version 6.1. If your environment contains WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment Version 7.0, you must install Version 6.1.0.5 before augmenting profiles for the product.gotcha

About this task

Complete the planning process to begin establishing application serving capability in new and existing environments.

Procedure

  1. Establish your product topology. See WebSphere Extended Deployment Compute Grid topology for more information.
  2. Prepare the environment in which you plan to install the product.
    • Install the product in an environment that contains an existing installation of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment. You can configure one or more nodes that comprise your Network Deployment cell. See Installing in a WebSphere Application Server environment for more information.
    • Install the middleware agent to run the product in an environment that does not contain WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment. The middleware agent is located on a node that is running other middleware servers. See Installing in other server environments for more information.
  3. Use the installation wizard or install the product silently. See Installing the product for more information.
  4. Augment existing WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment profiles to use the features of the product. See Creating and augmenting profiles for more information.
  5. Create a customized installation package (CIP) or an integrated installation package (IIP) if you want to install multiple installation packages. See Creating and installing customized packages for more information.
  6. Use the latest version of the IBM Update Installer for WebSphere Software to update your product environment with maintenance packages. See Using the Update Installer to install maintenance packages for more information.
