Install WebSphere Application Server and IBM HTTP Server


The following procedure is an example of how to configure WAS and IHS for IBM Curam and Engage Point Architect Suite.


Install WAS WebSphere Application Server v8.0.0.6

  1. Create /opt/IBM file system

  2. Prepare the AIX OS

  3. Install Firefox

      cd /opt/IBM
      scp -r root@myhost:/export/Firefox.tar.gz .
      gunzip Firefox.tar.gz; tar xvf Firefox.tar
      rm Firefox.tar
      cd /opt/IBM/Firefox
      rpm -Uvh *.rpm
      installp -acQNgXY -d /opt/IBM/Firefox Firefox.base.rte
      export BROWSER=/usr/bin/firefox

    Typical output... 

      Name                        Level           Part        Event       Result
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Firefox.base.rte            3.6.25.2        USR         APPLY       SUCCESS
Firefox.base.rte            3.6.25.2        ROOT        APPLY       SUCCESS

  4. Copy WAS v8 install archive and Installation Manager install archive to your host. For example...

      cd /opt/IBM
      scp -r root@myhost:/export/Websphere .
      scp -r root@myhost:/export/InstallationManager.tar.gz .
      gunzip InstallationManager.tar.gz; tar xvf InstallationManager.tar
      rm InstallationManager.tar

  5. Add WAS v8 to repository

    1. Run Installation Manager in console mode...

        cd /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools
        ./imcl -c

    2. Select...

        P. Preferences | 1. Repositories | D. Add Repository

    3. For repository location...

        /opt/IBM/Websphere/repository.config

    4. Save changes and exit...

        A. Apply changes | R. Return to main menu | X. Exit Installation Manager

    5. Confirm repository is available...

        # ./imcl listAvailablePackages -repositories /opt/IBM/Websphere/repository.config
        com.ibm.websphere.ND.v80_8.0.0.20110503_0200

  6. Install WAS v8

      mkdir /opt/IBM/AppServer_Shared
      cd /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools
      ./imcl install com.ibm.websphere.ND.v80_8.0.0.20110503_0200 -repositories /opt/IBM/Websphere/repository.config -installationDirectory /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer -sharedResourcesDirectory /opt/IBM/AppServer_Shared -log /tmp/imcl.log -acceptLicense

  7. Verify install 

      # /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/versionInfo.sh

  12. Create profiles

    • Engage Point Architect Suite profiles

      1. Create dmgr profile 
        export WAS_HOME=/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
export PROFILE_HOME=/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles
dmgrhost=`hostname`

echo "Creating Dmgr01 profile on $dmgrhost"

cd $WAS_HOME/bin/
./manageprofiles.sh -create \
                    -profileName Dmgr01 \
                    -adminUserName wasadmin \
                    -adminPassword wasadmin \
                    -enableAdminSecurity true \
                    -cellName Cell01 \
                    -nodeName CellManager01 \
                    -profilePath $PROFILE_HOME/Dmgr01 \
                    -enableService false \
                    -hostName $dmgrhost \
                    -templatePath $WAS_HOME/profileTemplates/management

        Sample output 

        root@mytargethost /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin # ./manageprofiles.sh -create \
>                     -profileName Dmgr01 \
>                     -adminUserName wasadmin \
>                     -adminPassword wasadmin \
>                     -enableAdminSecurity true \
>                     -cellName Cell01 \
>                     -nodeName CellManager01 \
>                     -profilePath $PROFILE_HOME/Dmgr01 \
>                     -enableService false \
>                     -hostName $dmgrhost \
>                     -templatePath $WAS_HOME/profileTemplates/management
