Follow the steps in this topic to install IBM® Asset Inventory Management Services for WebSphere® Sensor Events on
an existing installation of WebSphere Sensor Events.
Before you begin
WebSphere Sensor Events must
be installed, and the WebSphere Sensor Events database
name must be IBMRFID.
If you are installing Asset Inventory Management Services for WebSphere Sensor Events on a
server with more than one network interface card (NIC), make sure
that the DNS-resolved address for the server is the address of the
first NIC, as enumerated by the Windows® operating
system.
If you have multiple NICs:
- Ping the server's host name and note the numeric IP address
that is resolved by DNS assigned to each NIC.
- Run the ipconfig command and note the IP address
of each named NIC.
- Disable other NICs that do not have the resolved IP address in
the Windows operating system.
- Navigate to .
- Right-click the other NICs and disable them.
You can re-enable them after the Asset Inventory Management Services for WebSphere Sensor Events installation
is complete.
- Ping the server's host name again and make sure that the
correct NIC is available.
Stop all WebSphere Application Server profiles
before you run the installer.
Procedure
- Check your hardware and operating system and make sure that they meet the necessary
requirements.
- Make sure that you have completed all
the prerequisite steps necessary
for your environment. If you would like to modify the path
used by the deployment wizard, follow the steps in Changing the deployment wizard path before launching
the installation program.
- Install DB2® Everyplace® Enterprise Edition on your
target server.
You can install the database locally
or remotely. Use these instructions from the product documentation
to install DB2 Everyplace Enterprise Edition: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2e/v9r1/topic/com.ibm.db2e.doc/ent_install.html
If you plan to install DB2 Everyplace Enterprise Edition on a
remote server (distributed configuration), then you need to install
the DB2 Everyplace Sync Server on
your server with Asset Inventory Management Services for WebSphere Sensor Events and WebSphere Sensor Events. You
will need to install the DB2 Everyplace Sync Server control
database on your target database server.
- Apply the DB2 Everyplace Enterprise Edition 9.1.3
fix pack to your database server. This fix pack is included
in the Asset Inventory Management Services for WebSphere Sensor Events product
packaging. Use the instructions in the DB2 Everyplace Enterprise Edition release
notes to install it: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/data/db2/everyplace/doc/v913/relnotes913.html
Important: The fix pack does not
install correctly from the DVD. In order to install it, copy the DB2Everyplace_9_1_3_0 directory
from the DVD to a temporary space on the target server. Then run the
installation batch file, DB2EverplaceUpdateInstallerWizard.bat,
from that location.
- Configure the database server.
If you are
using a local database, use the DB2 Everyplace Enterprise Edition basic
configuration instructions. Be sure to modify the default port
used by DB2 Everyplace Enterprise Edition from
8080 to something else, such as 8081, to avoid port conflicts with IBM HTTP Administration Server.
If
you plan on using a remote database, see the topic on DB2 Everyplace distributed configuration for
details on configuring the distributed database and the distributed
server.
Notes for configuring the DB2 Everyplace Sync Server: - Leave the classpath field empty.
- Modify the default port used by DB2 Everyplace Enterprise Edition from
8080 to something else, such as 8081, to avoid port conflicts with IBM HTTP Administration Server.
- Do not choose to start the Windows service
at the end of the configuration.
- If you are running Terminal Server and Terminal
Server Licensing, run the change user /install Windows command before starting
the installation program.
If you do not issue this command
and you have those Windows components
installed, the installation may fail because the installer cannot
write to the vpd.properties file. To see if you
have Terminal Server and Terminal Server Licensing installed, navigate
to . When you have successfully issued the command, the
response is User session is ready to install applications. or Install
mode does not apply to a Terminal server configured for remote administration. if
the command was not needed. For more information, refer to the Windows Server
2003 Product Help.
- Run the installation program located in the root directory
of the Asset Inventory Management Services for WebSphere Sensor Events disk.
Asset Inventory Management Services for WebSphere Sensor Events is
only supported on Windows operating
systems.
When you run the installation program,
the deployment wizard is temporarily installed on your hard drive.
It will uninstall itself when the installation is complete. When the
deployment wizard installation completes, it automatically launches
and guides you through the installation of the product and its prerequisite
software. It may take a few minutes to begin.
