11.3.1 Installing the Deployment Manager

To install the Deployment Manager and create the profile...

1. Start the HACMP services on HHOST1 to mount the file system /usr/WebSphere6 from the shared disk array.

2. Install IBM WAS ND V6 on HHOST1. The installation path is on the shared file system, in our scenario the path is /usr/WebSphere6/AppServer.

3. If necessary, install any needed WebSphere Refresh packs or Fix packs. We installed WebSphere V6.0.1 for our tests.

4. Create a Deployment Manager profile on HHOST1. In our environment, where the binaries are installed on the shared file system, the profile directory is a subdirectory of the WebSphere <install_root>, for example /usr/WebSphere6/AppServer/profiles/Dmgr01.

When creating the profile, use the virtual host name (in our environment this is hacmp1) as the Host name, not use the physical host name or physical IP address. See 9.3.2, Installing WAS ND for additional information.

5. Start the Deployment Manager and add nodes to the cell as needed. Use the virtual host name hacmp1 when you specify the Host name or IP address of the Deployment Manager. In our example, we federated node HHOST3 into the cell managed by the Deployment Manager on HHOST1.
