Installing IBM InfoSphere Information Server with optional Enterprise Search

Use the GUI installer to install IBM® InfoSphere® Information Server with optional Enterprise Search. For information about installing IBM InfoSphere Information Server with the microservices tier, see Installing with the microservices tier, 11.7.1.

Procedure

  1. Start the GUI installer in uninterruptable mode in the background on the Information Server node by running the following commands:
    cd <Download Directory>/is-suite 
    
    nohup ./setup & 
    
    tail -f nohup.out
    Important: To prevent the possibility of an inactive SSH session being killed, as Mac OS or some devices might do, after issuing the nohup command, exit the SSH session. Now, the nohup command will not get killed because of an inactive SSH session. Then, start another SSH session to tail the nohup log, install log, and so forth.
  2. Open the URL https://<Information Server Node>:8446/ISInstall when you are prompted and proceed with the standard installation process until you reach the Information Server Enterprise Search (ISES) installation window.
  3. Provide the following values in the Information Server Enterprise Search (ISES) installation window if you want Enterprise Search installed as part of Information Server installation. Otherwise choose to skip this part of the installation. You have the option to install Enterprise Search later manually. This window is shown only if this node includes the Services Tier and either Information Governance Catalog, InfoSphere Information Analyzer, or Governance Monitoring is selected.
