Note:
IBM WebSphere Application Server
- Express version 5.1.1 or higher is optional, but if you have not
already installed a supported version of WebSphere Application Server
Express or WebSphere Application Server and you want to use System
Monitor, Failed Event Manager, or Web Deployment, you should choose
to install IBM WebSphere Application Server - Express version 6 from
the Software Prerequisites screen.
Figure 5. Software Prerequisites screen before installing selected prerequisites
-
The Launchpad displays the installation
status of each prerequisite. Status values can include Not Installed, Optional,
or OK, and for the database selection only, Not Configured.
If any software program you require for your system has a status
of Not Installed or Optional,
you can use the Launchpad to either install it or to direct you
to where to obtain it.
To install a software program using Launchpad,
click on the product name. An Install button
becomes visible. Select the Install button
to begin the installation of the program. When the installation
process for the software program is complete, you will be returned
to the Software Prerequisites screen and the program name will have OK next
to it.
If you have a database installed and its status
is Not Configured, you can use the Launchpad
to configure it. Click on the database name to start configuration.
Note:
If you already have earlier versions
of the prerequisite software installed on this system, refer to
Upgrading the system for more detailed information about
how the Launchpad will behave, and what you might need to do depending
on the version.
For more information on the installation of software prerequisites,
including why you may need to install certain prerequisites, refer
to the section Software prerequisites.
Once the software prerequisites required for your planned installation
each have a status of OK, select the button
labeled Install Product located at the bottom
of the screen.
The Software License Agreement screen appears.
Figure 6. Software License Agreement screen
- Read and accept the terms of the Software License Agreement
by selecting the radio button beside the entry I accept the terms in the license agreement,
then select Next.
Note:
If you are running the installer in a non-English
locale, a button labeled English appears on
the Software License Agreement screen. Select this button to view
the software license agreement in English. The text of the button
then changes to the non-English language used for the installer. Select
the button again to display the software license agreement in the
non-English language used for the installer.
The Destination screen appears.
Figure 7. Destination screen
-
On the Destination screen, accept
the default installation location of Home_directory/IBM/WebSphereServer (where Home_directory is the home
directory of the user identified on the pervious Select User screen)
or browse for a different location, then select Next.
Note:
The directory path must not contain any spaces.
Throughout this document, the installation directory Home_directory/IBM/WebSphereServer (or the alternative path that you entered) will be referred
to as ProductDir.
The RBAC screen appears.
-
To enable Role-Based Access Control (RBAC),
enter a user name and password, then select Next.
One of the following occurs:
- If the prerequisite conditions are not met, an error message
is displayed and you are forced to cancel the installation.
- If the prerequisite conditions are met, a summary screen appears.
Make note of the user name and password that you enter. You will
need it later.
Note:
RBAC enhances the security of server access. The user
name and password provided will be used to create the server administrator
role during deployment to the server. This information is stored in
the InterChangeSystem.cfg file, with the password encrypted. Any additional roles or password
changes regarding RBAC must subsequently be done through the System
Manager.
- The summary screen provides a summary of the
installation selections you have made. Read over the information
to make sure it is correct, then select Next.
The installation process begins.
-
As the installation process begins, the installer
verifies that enough disk space exists for the installation:
- If enough space does not exist, a panel will
be displayed with only the Back and Cancel buttons enabled
since installation cannot be completed with the provided disk space.
In this case, you must free some space on the specified drive, or
change the target location altogether by revisiting the Destination
screen.
- If enough space does exist, installation and configuration begin.
A number of informational screens are presented. When installation
and configuration are complete, a screen appears that indicates whether
the process was successful or if problems were encountered. Select Finish to
exit the installation GUI.
Figure 10. Post-installation summary screen
A window then appears informing you that the installation
is complete and asks if you would like to launch the First Steps
application. For more information on this application, refer to
the section Using First Steps.
A log file is created during the installation process that details
the installation process. It is located in the wbi_server_exp_install_log.txt file, which can be found in the ProductDir/log directory. At this point, you can view the files and directory
structure of your system, as detailed in Directory structure and files.
