IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1
Install the Managing Server on several hosts
To provide load balancing and optimize resource use, you can install the Managing Server across up to four servers, using any combination of the following methods:
- You can run the Managing Server Visualization Engine (user interface component) on a separate server. In this case, only this host requires a full installation of WAS. To do this, use the three phase silent installation process; see Performing a three phase installation with three logins in Windows.
- You can use a separate server for the database management system (DB2 or Oracle). To do this, first install the database management system. Then , configure the database server and the future Managing Server host (see Configure an existing database environment to work with the Managing Server on Windows). Finally, use custom or silent installation to install the Managing Server.
- You can use a split installation to spread the backend Managing Server components (Kernel, Publish Server, Archive Agent) among two hosts. To do this, first install the Managing Server on one host; then, create the additional component instances (see Create additional instances of Managing Server components), and perform the split installation procedure to add the second host (see Split Managing Server installation on Windows).
