WebSphere brand IBM WebSphere Sensor Events, Version 6.2

Planning your single server topology

Use the scenarios described in this section to plan for your installation of WebSphere® Sensor Events.

Possible topologies

WebSphere Sensor Events supports the following topology options:

Installation scenarios

During the product installation, you are prompted for the available tasks the installer performs.

The first task is to choose your database server. If you decide to use an existing installation of either DB2 or Oracle, you will need to provide the server information for the installer. If you decide to use the installer to install DB2 (either remotely or locally), then the installer can do that. The installer cannot install an Oracle database.

Restriction: If you install DB2 remotely on a Windows operating system, be sure that your WebSphere Sensor Events server and the remote server have the same drive letter for the DB2 installation. For example, if you want to use drive F on your remote server for the DB2 installation, then your WebSphere Sensor Events server should also have a drive F.
The second task is to install WebSphere Sensor Events, and optionally Location Awareness Services for WebSphere Sensor Events.
Restriction: Location Awareness Services for WebSphere Sensor Events must be installed on a Windows operating system on the same server as WebSphere Sensor Events.
Location Awareness Services for WebSphere Sensor Events supports a DB2 database.

With this second installation task, you also have the option of installing both the WebSphere Sensor Events server and the Bundle Repository Server on the same server in your environment, or you can install the Bundle Repository Server on a separate server.

For example, if you install WebSphere Sensor Events and the Bundle Repository Server on Server A, and then install an additional WebSphere Sensor Events server on Server B, both servers can use the Bundle Repository Server on Server A. You can also install the Bundle Repository Server on Server C and install only WebSphere Sensor Events on Servers A and B. Again, both servers can use the Bundle Repository Server on Server C.

Restriction: Your database server and WebSphere Sensor Events must be installed on servers with the same operating system.

After you have installed WebSphere Sensor Events, you can install IBM Asset Inventory Management Services for WebSphere Sensor Events. For details on how to install this component, see Installing Asset Inventory Management Services for WebSphere Sensor Events.
