Population example: WebSphere Portal V6.0

This example provides usage guidelines and steps for populating the media tree for IBM WebSphere® Portal Server V6.0.
Note: Installation media is packaged as archive images, typically, ZIP, TAR, or TGZ files. Use an extraction utility that works for the archive file type. PAK files are not archives, do not modify them.

This example is for WebSphere Portal Server V6.0 on Linux (X32).

To copy software in the inventory list to directories in the media tree, follow this procedure:

  1. Locate the installation media.
  2. Download or copy the installation media to a temporary directory.
  3. Extract V6.0 product archives to the subdirectories in the install_image directory. Repeat the extraction step for each directory (for example, IL-Setup, IL-1, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6) using the correct archive file name for each directory. 
    [rafwuser@rafw install_image] cd IL-Setup
[rafwuser@rafw IL-Setup]$ unzip /tmp/C1I2UML.zip
    Important: Not all directories require media.
  4. Verify that the install_image directory contains the correct files for your installation setup. In the following example, IL-2 and IL-5 media is not required. 
    [rafwuser@rafw install_image] ls 
IL-1 IL-2 IL-3 IL-4 IL-5 IL-6 IL-Setup
[rafwuser@rafw install_image] ls IL-1

  5. Extract Fix Pack 5 to the media/linux/X32/wp/60/patches/fixpacks directory. Verify that the fixpacks directory contains the correct files. 
    [rafwuser@rafw patches] cd fixpacks
[rafwuser@rafw fixpacks] $ unzip /tmp/6.0.1-WP-FP005.zip
[rafwuser@rafw installer_image] ls 
6.0.1-WP-FP005_Readme.txt  WP_PTF_6015.jar  WP_PTF_6015.ptflist
  6. Extract the V6.0 Portal Update Installer to the media/linux/X32/wp/60/patches/update_installer directory.

    Verify that the update_installer directory contains the correct files.

    [rafwuser@rafw patches] cd update_installer
[rafwuser@rafw update_installer]$ unzip /tmp/PortalUpdateInstaller.zip
[rafwuser@rafw update_installer] ls 
bin          PortalUpdateInstaller.jar          updatePortal.sh
