Prepare to install ND on an HP-UX system

 

This topic describes how to install the IBM WebSphere Application Server ND, V6 product on an HP-UX operating system.

Before using this topic to prepare for installing the Network Deployment product, decide the sort of topology you want to install and prepare your operating system. See the following topics for more information:

• Planning to install ND

• Preparing HP-UX systems for installation

 

Overview

After verifying prerequisites, verifying the product disc, and setting your installation goals, you can start installing. Use one of the following links to open the installation procedure that you require. Then install the ND product on your operating system.

 

Procedure

• Perform a custom installation.

  The custom installation lets you select features to install. The features include the core product files (required), the Javadoc (optional), and the Sample applications (optional).

  See Installing ND.

• Perform a silent installation.

  A silent installation requires you to edit the example response file to contain all of your installation choices. After creating a valid response file, issue the install command with the silent parameter from a command window.

  See Installing silently.

• Install additional features to an existing product.

  After using a custom installation to omit one or both of the optional features, you can install the product again to add the features. Select a missing feature to install it.

  See Installing additional features on an existing ND product.

 

Results

The installation wizard installs the product files into the installation root directory.

 

What to do next

Create a deployment manager profile and an appserver profile.

Use the Profile Management tool to create profiles in the default profile_root directory or in a directory that you select.

See Creating profiles through the graphical user interface.

Deploy an application to get started!

After creating an appserver profile, you can deploy an application. See Fast paths for WAS to get started deploying applications.
