After installing the WebSphere® Application Server product,
you can install it again on the same machine.
About this task
This is not a typical scenario. One of the main goals of multiple-profile

Procedure
- Use the Installation wizard to install another set of the core
product files as described in the "Installing the product and additional software"
article in the information center.

option from the Installation wizard panel to install a new instance instead
of adding features to the last installation and to install into a separate
profile directory.
- Use the Profile Management tool or the manageprofiles command
to create multiple application-server processes.
During profile
creation using the Profile Management tool, you can specify your port settings.

the manageprofiles command can use port values that you
specify instead of the default port values. You can use a port file, specify
a starting port, or accept the default port values. Read the "manageprofiles
command" article in the information center for more information.
- If you have a node that you cannot start because of port conflicts,
change port assignments to nonconflicting ports in configuration files.
