Set up a federated unclustered production server
Set up a federated, unclustered production environment when you need a robust environment but do not require a clustered production environment.Perform the following tasks to set up a federated, unclustered production server:
- Federated, unclustered server: Prepare prerequisite and corequisite software
Before creating the high availability production environment, prepare the database, the user registry, the dmgr, and the remote Web server.- Federated, unclustered server: Install WebSphere Portal
After you have prepared the operating system we are ready to install IBM WebSphere Portal on a federated, standalone production environment.- Federated, unclustered server: Configure the primary node to communicate with the dmgr
After installing IBM WAS Network Deployment and installing IBM WebSphere Portal on the primary node, configure the primary node and the dmgr to communicate with each other.- Federated, unclustered server: Configure a base portal into a primary node
You are asked to perform this task during installation to configure the primary node if installing in a network deployment cell. This option configures a base portal into the primary node of a IBM WAS for z/OS network deployment cell. This is supported with Apache Derby as the underlying database, which must be later transferred to IBM DB2 Universal Database™ for z/OS. It will give you a working base portal in the WAS for z/OS network deployment cell.- Federated, unclustered server: Tuning the z/OS environment
You must tune the environment before installing and customizing IBM WebSphere Portal to ensure optimal performance between the z/OS and WebSphere Portal.- Federated, unclustered server: Transfer data
Transfer data from the Apache Derby database to the IBM DB2 Universal Database for z/OS database that you have installed and set up.- Federated, unclustered server: Prepare a remote Web server when portal is installed on z/OS
Install and configure the Web server plug-in, provided by IBM WAS, to set up your Web server to communicate with IBM WebSphere Portal.- Federated, unclustered server: Configure WebSphere Portal to use a user registry
A user registry prevents unauthorized access to the server and protects the data.- Federated, unclustered server: Tune the servers
Tuning the servers is important to the performance of the WebSphere Portal environment. WebSphere Portal is not tuned for a production environment out of the box. To ensure optimal performance, review and complete the steps in the IBM WebSphere Portal Tuning Guide. If a tuning guide is not available for the current release, the tuning guide for the previous product version should be used.
Parent: Install on z/OS
