IBM®
InfoSphere® Information Server supports IBM
WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment. You must
install a supported version.
Before you begin
- Determine the cluster topology that you want to use, based on your system requirements.
- On the computer where you want to install the deployment manager and on all computers that will
host a managed node, configure the system to support a large number of file descriptors.
Refer to
your system administrator if you are not familiar with file descriptor allocations.
For example, if your login shell is
/bin/bash, complete the following tasks:
Operating system |
Procedure |
AIX®
|
Configure the following environment variable in
/etc/profile for system-wide
change:unset LDR_CNTRL
|
Linux® |
- Add the following line to the /etc/profile
file:
ulimit -n 10240
- Add the following lines to the /etc/security/limits.conf
file:
* soft nofile 10240
* hard nofile 10240
|
Procedure
- Install IBM
WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment on all the
computers that will host the InfoSphere Information Server services
tier. This installation includes the deployment manager system and all computers that will host a
managed node.
The InfoSphere Information Server
installation package includes installation packages for IBM
WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment. To
preinstall WebSphere Application Server, before you run the InfoSphere Information Server installation
program, you can run the WebSphere Application Server installation
program that is included in the InfoSphere Information Server installation
media.
Within the installation media, the
WebSphere Application Server installation
program is at the following location:
Operating system |
Directory |
AIX
Linux |
payloads/Shared/WAS/payload/WAS/agentInstaller/install |
Windows |
payloads\Shared\WAS\payload\WAS\agentInstaller\install.exe |
When
creating a profile during the installation, make sure to enable administrative security. Disable
administrative security for non-cluster (stand-alone) installations.
- Install the required fix pack and interim fixes. To find the supported fix pack level,
Java™ SDK fix number, and interim fixes that are required for
your installed version of IBM
WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, refer to
the InfoSphere Information Server
system requirements page: publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/prodguid/v1r0/clarity/softwareReqsForProduct.html
