Prepare the primary node on Solaris
Before creating your clustered environment, install IBM WebSphere Portal on the primary node and then configure the database and the network dmgr.
- Prerequisites
- Prepare the Solaris operating system in a clustered environment
- Create and augment a new dmgr profile on Solaris
- Solaris cluster: Tune the servers
Complete the following tasks to prepare your primary node:
- Install WebSphere Portal on Solaris on the primary node
IBM WebSphere Portal is installed as a single component, complete with an integrated database for storing information. After installation, we can expand the environment to include high availability failover, a more robust database, and LDAP-based authentication.- Clustered environment: Perform post-installation tasks on Solaris
Depending on your business needs, there are additional tasks that we can run post-installation to configure the clustered environment.- Solaris clustered server: Configure Portal to use a database
- Remove search collections on Solaris
To use search in a cluster, configure a remote search server; If you created any search collections, re-create them on the remote search server. If the search collection has data, export the collection before deleting it and then import the data on the remote server.- Create the WebSphere Portal profile template on Solaris in a clustered environment
After installing the primary node and configuring the remote database, we can create the configuration archive (CAR) file used to create additional portal profiles.
