12.2 Planning and preparation

These are the prerequisites to follow our scenario: - We assume you have at least two systems running with VCS. Both systems share one storage device.

- We further assume that you have checked the prerequisites needed for IBM WAS ND V6. These are found at:

http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/doc/latest/prereq.html - You have an IP Alias for the Deployment Manager/Node Agent system.

It is also possible to install without having a separate IP Alias. In this case, you have to join or link to an existing service group that uses an IP Alias. Make sure that this configuration fits into your systems architecture respectively meets your non-functional requirements. - You should determine how you are going to configure WebSphere. Specifically, if you are going to separate the binary files from the configuration files. You have two options: you can put the binaries and configuration files on the shared disk or you can put the binaries on a local disk and the configuration files on the shared disk.
