Install a CIP
Overview
A CIP combines and installs a single product component with maintenance packages, customization scripts, and other files.
Procedure
- Create a build definition file.
- Stop all WebSphere processes, including...
- Deployment manager...
profile_root/bin/stopManager.sh
- Nodes...
profile_root/bin/stopNode.sh
- Start the installation...
CIP_home/bin/install
- Follow the prompts in the wizard to complete the installation.
The optional features panel lists the features from which you can choose to install. However, features cannot be added incrementally to the product environment after the product is installed. If you choose not to install a feature with the initial product installation, uninstall and reinstall the product to add the feature.
The Profile augmentation panel lists existing profiles that you can select to augment with the features of eXtreme Scale. If you select existing profiles that are already in use, however, a warning panel is displayed. To continue with the installation, either stop the servers that are configured in the profiles, or click Back to remove the profiles from the selection.
Results
You successfully installed the CIP.
What to do next
If you are running WAS v6.1 or v7.0, you can use the Profile Management Tool plug-in or the manageprofiles command to create and augment profiles. If you are running WebSphere Application Server v6.0.2, use the wasprofile command to create and augment profiles.
If you augmented profiles for eXtreme Scale during the installation process, you can deploy applications, start a catalog service, and start the containers in the WebSphere Application Server environment. See Administer WebSphere eXtreme Scale with WebSphere Application Server for more information.
