Roadmap: Installing the Network Deployment product

Install IBM WAS Network Deployment from the product media, from live web-based repositories, or from files that you can download from the Passport Advantage site.

See Install the product for information about installing any of the products in the WAS family of products.

This article provides an overview of installing the WAS Network Deployment product.

The Installation Manager product performs the installation. We can install from a graphical interface or from the command line using a response file.

At a high-level view, the steps for installing and configuring the Network Deployment product are:

1. Install the Network Deployment product.

2. Use the Profile Management Tool or the manageprofiles command to create the profiles that your topology needs.

   We can create the following profiles:

   • Application server profile
   • Management profile
   • Cell profile
   • Custom profile
   • Secure proxy server

Procedure

1. Review typical installation scenarios for the product.

2. Install the product and create a Network Deployment cell.

   The steps for installing the Network Deployment product and creating a dmgr are as follows:

   1. Prepare the operating system.
   2. Access the product disk or a downloaded installation image.

   3. Install the product.

   4. Create a Network Deployment environment.

      A cell has a dmgr with a federated application server.

      A dmgr has only the dmgr profile.

      To work with applications deployed on an application server that is part of a Network Deployment cell, create an application server profile and federate it after installing the Network Deployment product.

3. Create an additional application server profile for a Network Deployment cell.

   The steps for creating an application server profile are:

   1. Use the Profile Management Tool or the manageprofiles command to create an application server profile.

   2. Open the First steps console and start the application server, or start the application server from the command line:
      1. Change to the PROFILE_ROOT/bin directory.
         • cd PROFILE_ROOT/bin
         • cd PROFILE_ROOT\bin

      2. Start the application server with the startServer command.
         • ./startServer.sh
         • startServer.bat

         See the documentation for the startServer command for more information.

   3. Federate the application server into the cell through the admin console (System Administration > Nodes > Add Node ) or with the addnode command in the PROFILE_ROOT/bin directory.

   To access applications deployed on the application server from a dmgr, federate the application server. To federate the application server, add the application server as a managed node of the dmgr.

Results

The Network Deployment product is installed on a single machine and you can start the dmgr and the standalone application server.

What to do next

After installing and verifying, the next step is to use the product. Start the application server or the dmgr, node agent, and federated application server to use the admin console to deploy an existing application.
