This section shows end-to-end use cases of how the centralized installation manager (CIM) can be used to assist WebSphere administrators.
You must use the Update Installer for WebSphere Software (UPDI) to install the fix pack locally on the deployment manager machine first. After that you must have a cell with all the node agents started. If the node agents are not running then you must make sure all the server processes on the target host have been stopped.
Complete the following steps to update all the nodes within the cell to the new maintenance level. You do not need to access the managed nodes directly while using CIM. With the node agent running on the targets, CIM will be able to stop all the running servers on the target node, update the remote node, and then restart the node agent.
The installation requests are sent via the centralized installation manager to install WebSphere application servers on the remote machines to create the cell.
