Installing in other server environments

Install the middleware agent on a node that is running other middleware servers created outside of the product environment. You can then create representations of these nodes and servers and manage them in the administrative console.

About this task

The middleware agent is a server process that is used to manage servers that are not running the product. When you install a WebSphere® Extended Deployment fix pack to your deployment manager, you must also apply the fix pack to your middleware agent installations. The deployment manager and the middleware agents must be at the same fix pack level. Complete the following steps to install the middleware agent on the nodes.

Complete the following steps to install the middleware agent on the nodes:

Procedure

  1. Run the following command to start the installer:
    • [For Unix operating system] [For Linux operating system] ./install.sh
    • [For Windows operating system] install.bat
    [For AIX operating system] Attention: By default, the installation wizard selects the appropriate version of the middleware agent to install based on the version of the operating system. For example, if the wizard detects a 64-bit operating system, the wizard automatically installs a 64-bit version of the middleware agent. To override the default selection and install a 32-bit version of the middleware agent on a 64-bit operating system, you can either use the graphical user interface (GUI) or complete the silent installation process. Run the following command to start the installer:
    • ./install.aix.ppc32
    • ./install.aix.ppc32 -silent -options
  2. Complete all of the required fields on the wizard panels.

Results

The installation wizard installs the middleware agent files to an empty directory that does not contain any existing files.
