Required disk space on AIX platforms
Draft comment:
How
do you want to cover the Client?
Manually verify that the required
space for creating a profile is available. A known problem in the underlying
InstallShield for Multiplatforms (ISMP) code prevents proper space checking
on AIX systems.
WebSphere Process Server requires the following disk
space:
- 1795 MB for the install_root directory, including 1480 MB
for the installation of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment before
creating profiles
The installation root directory includes the core product files, Sample
applications gallery, and Public API Javadoc(TM). This size does
not include space for the deprecated features, profiles, or applications.
Profiles require 60 MB of temp space in addition to the sizes shown. Profiles
have the following space requirements:
- 73 MB for a deployment manager profile
This size does not include space for applications that you might deploy
or nodes that you might federate to this deployment manager.
- 248 MB for a stand-alone process server profile with the Sample applications
and the sample Business Process Choreographer container
This size does not include space for applications that you might develop
and install.
- 53 MB for an unfederated custom profile
This size does not include space for applications that you might develop
and install. The requirement does include space for the nodeagent. However,
you must federate a custom profile to create an operational managed node.
After
federating a custom profile, the resulting managed node contains a functional
nodeagent only. Use the deployment manager to create server processes on the
managed node.
- 60 MB temporary space for profile creation
- This space must be provided in addition to the profile sizes listed above.
An error can occur during profile creation if you do not provide enough system
temporary space.
- 600 MB for the /tmp directory
The temporary directory is the working directory for the installation
program. The actual space required for the
/tmp directory can vary,
as follows:
- If you elect to silently install a new instance of WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment during installation of WebSphere Process Server,
a total of 600 MB of temporary space is required.
- If you install WebSphere Process Server over an existing installation
of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment,
and the existing installation requires fixes or features added to it, a total
of 600 MB of temporary space is required.
- If you install WebSphere Process Server over an existing installation
of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment,
and the existing installation is at the supported maintenance level, little
or no temporary space is required.
- 2395 MB total requirement
This amount is the total space requirement when installing the product
from the CD and when not installing service (Fix Packs, service packs, refresh
packs, etc.). Installing profiles requires more space.
The following space is required for the IBM HTTP Server
product:
- 110 MB for the /usr/IBM/HTTPServer/Plugins directory
Draft comment:
I was told to go with what WAS has, but this directory
still looks odd for the Web server.
The IBM HTTP Server product
requires this space.
- 35 MB for the /usr/ibm/gsk7 directory
The IBM Global Security Kit requires this space. The runtime module
is gskkm.rte.
The following space is the maximum amount that is required
for the Web server plug-ins for WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere
Application Server Network Deployment:
- 200 MB for the /usr/IBM/WebSphere/plugins directory
The Web server plug-ins require this disk space.
- 25 MB for the /usr/ibm/gsk7 directory
The IBM Global Security Kit requires this space.
The following space is required for the WebSphere Application
Server Clients:
- 150 MB for the /usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppClient directory
The amount of space required to install the application clients is
actually less than 150 MB. The amount of space depends on the clients that
you install as features.
The Installation Wizard for each component displays
required space on the confirmation panel before you install the product files
and selected features. The Installation Wizard also warns you if you do not
have enough space to install the product.
