Installation scenarios
Installing WebSphere XD when other products already exist
You can install WebSphere XD Operations Optimization in an environment that already contains existing installations of WebSphere XD Compute Grid or WebSphere XD Data Grid. The installation wizard detects and verifies the existing installations as part of the current installation process. The middleware agent is not included as part of the Operations Optimization installation, because you install the component to a location in which WAS already exists.
Installing WebSphere XD to an empty directory
When you install WebSphere XD Operations Optimization to a location in which WAS does not exist, only the middleware agent is installed. The installation wizard does not present the option to add WebSphere XD to the centralized installation manager repository. However, you can add WebSphere XD later by using the centralized installation manager repository tool.
