IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1

Install the Managing Server

To install the Managing Server:

  1. Log on to the computer to be the Managing Server as the installation user, for example, amuser. If you have not already created this user, refer to the following section: Create the installation user.

  2. If Terminal Services is enabled on Windows 2003 Server or Windows 2008 Server, put the server into installation mode. Run the following command from a command prompt:
    change user /install

    Ignore the message:

    Install mode does not apply to a Terminal server configured for remote
    administration.

  3. Complete one of the following steps to start the installation:

    • To open a window that invokes the installer, and gives access to prerequisite information, documentation, and support, use LaunchPad:

      1. Access LaunchPad. See Use the LaunchPad interface.

      2. Click the Install ITCAM button.

    • To directly invoke the installation without using LaunchPad, launch setup_MS.exe from the directory that contains your installation image:

  4. The first window that is displayed is the Select log path window. Enter a location to store log files and click OK:

  5. The Welcome panel for the installation program is displayed.

    If the installation program detects your computer does not match the basic prerequisites for starting the installation, a failure window is displayed instead of the Welcome panel. Refer to the information displayed to correct the situation and restart the installation. For more details on prerequisites, see Preinstallation tasks for the Managing Server on Windows

  6. Click Next. The Review License Agreement panel is displayed.

  7. Select I accept both the IBM and the non-IBM terms and click Next.

    The CD Install Selection panel is displayed.

  8. Complete one of the following options:

    • If you are installing from an image located on your hard disk, select No and click Next.

    • If you are installing directly from a CD, select Yes so that the Managing Server installation image can be copied to a temporary directory on your hard disk - this clears the CD drive for the rest of the installation disks. Either accept the default temporary directory or browse to a different directory. The Managing Server installation image requires at least 1 GB of space. Click Next. The Analyze System for Prerequisites panel is displayed.

  9. This panel shows the process of analyzing your system for prerequisites and existing versions of IBM WAS and IBM DB2. Wait for the installation program to finish its analysis and then click Next.

    The Choose Installation Type panel is displayed.

  10. Select Typical and click Next.

    If you have an existing installation of IBM DB2, you cannot perform a typical installation. See Road map for installing the Managing Server on Windows for an overview of the alternatives to performing a typical installation. To perform a typical installation, you need to uninstall any existing IBM DB2 installations on your server and restart the installation.

    See Embedded DB2 installation: Uninstalling an existing DB2 environment on the local computer.)

    The Choose Destination panel is displayed.

  11. Click Next to accept the default installation directory path in the Product Installation Directory field, or you can change this path by typing or browsing to a different directory.

    1. You cannot install the Managing Server in a directory path that contains non-English characters, for example:

      • Traditional Chinese

      • Simplified Chinese

      • Japanese

      • Korean

      • Spanish special characters

      • German special characters

      • Portuguese Brazilian special characters

      • French special characters

      • Italian special characters

      • Cyrillic characters

    2. The directory that you specify must be empty.

    3. If you specify a directory that does not exist, the installation program creates the directory.

    Click Next. The Input System User Information panel is displayed.

  12. Enter the user name and password to use to complete the following functions:

    • Logging in to and using the Application Monitor (default user)

    • Logging in to and using the IBM WAS administrative console

    This can be the same user that you used to log in to this server to perform this installation. If it is different from the installation user, ensure that the user has the necessary permissions. See Typical installation: creating the user for the product.

    Click Next. The DB2 Image Location panel is displayed. Note if there is an IBM DB2 Workgroup Server Edition 9.5 installation image in the default DB2 installation image folder: db2_image, the installer will automatically choose to install this image and as a result it will skip this panel.

  13. Browse to select setup.exe, this file is typically located in the db2 sub directory. The installer will install IBM DB2 at MS_home\DB2. Click Next. The WAS Image panel is displayed. Note if there is an IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0 installation image in the default installation image folder: was_image/WAS, the installer will automatically choose to install this image and as a result it will skip this panel.

  14. Browse to select the WAS install.exe file. Click Next. The Generate Response File panel is displayed.

  15. Select Install the Managing Server on this computer. If you want to create a response file for a subsequent silent installation, select Save the settings in a response file and enter the file path ending with a file name. For example:
    C:\temp\response.opt

    You might not want to install the Managing Server on this computer if you are performing the installation procedure for the sole purpose of creating a response file for a subsequent silent installation. A response file is only generated if the GUI installation completes successfully. Click Next. The Review Installation Information panel is displayed.

  16. Read the summary information and click Install to accept it and begin the installation.

    The Install and Configure Files panel is displayed.

  17. The Install and Configure Files panel contains useful product tips.

    The installer will install the Managing Server, IBM DB2, and IBM WAS. Depending on the performance of your server and operating system, installation might take longer than an hour.

    When the installation is complete, the Review Installation Summary panel is displayed.

  18. Review the installation summary information and click Next.

    The Finish panel is displayed.

  19. To perform post-installation tasks at this time, select Launch the Managing Server and Launch the User Interface. Click Finish to exit.

You have completed the installation of the Managing Server.
