WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, Version 6.0.x     Operating Systems: AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, Windows

Roadmap: Installing the Network Deployment product

Use the launchpad to install IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment from the product disc or from an installation image that you can download from the Passport Advantage site.

Before you begin

Why and when to perform this task

This topic provides an overview of installing the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment product.

At a high-level view, the steps for installing and configuring the Network Deployment product are:
  1. Install the Network Deployment product
  2. Use the Profile Creation wizard to create one of the following profiles:
    • Deployment manager profile
    • Application Server profile
    • Custom profile

Steps for this task

  1. Install a deployment manager.
    The steps for installing the Network Deployment product and creating a deployment manager are:
    1. Prepare the operating system.
    2. Insert the product disc.
    3. Start the launchpad.
    4. Launch the installation program for the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment product.
    5. Install the Network Deployment product
    6. Check for and install any recommended maintenance packages.
    7. Use the Profile Creation wizard to create a deployment manager profile.
    8. Open the First steps console and start the deployment manager.
      Or, start the deployment manager from the command line:
      1. Change directories to the profile_root/bin directory.
        For example, if the profile is named dmgr01, use the following commands to change directories:
      2. Start the deployment manager with the startManager command.
        • [Linux][UNIX]./startManager.sh
        • [Windows]startManager.bat
        See the description of the startManager command for more information.
  2. Install a cell: a deployment manager with a federated application server.
    The steps for installing the Network Deployment product and creating a managed node are:
    1. Insert the product disc.
    2. Start the launchpad.
    3. Launch the installation program for the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment product.
    4. Install the Network Deployment product.
    5. Check for and install any recommended maintenance packages.
    6. Use the Profile Creation wizard to create the cell, which includes a deployment manager profile with a federated application server profile.
    7. Open the First steps console and start the deployment manager.
      Or, start the deployment manager from the command line:
      1. Change directories to the profile_root/bin directory.
        For example, if the profile is named dmgr01, use the following commands to change directories:
      2. Start the deployment manager with the startManager command.
        • [Linux][UNIX]./startManager.sh
        • [Windows]startManager.bat
        See the description of the startManager command for more information.
    8. Start the application server from the administrative console of the deployment manager.

      You can also use the startServer command from the profile_root/bin directory. See the description of the startServer command for more information.

      If you cannot start the application server because the nodeagent is not running, issue the startNode command from the profile_root/bin directory of the application server profile.

      See the description of the startNode command for more information.

  3. Federate an application server.
    The steps for federating a stand-alone application server profile into a deployment manager cell are:
    1. Create the deployment manager cell as described in a previous roadmap in this topic.
    2. Create the application server profile as described in a previous roadmap in this topic.

      Make note of the SOAP port for the application server.

    3. Start the deployment manager.
    4. Start the application server.
    5. Use the administrative console of the deployment manager to add the application server node to the deployment manager cell. Click System administration > Nodes > Add node to identify the application server node.

      Use the SOAP port in the administrative console page. Also select the include applications check box and the include default buses check box.

      You can also use the addNode command. Use the addNode command that is in the application server profile bin directory.

      See the description of the addNode command for more information.
