About this task

Note:

If there is any difference between these instructions and the documentation for your version of WebSphere Application Server due to updates or changes, the WebSphere Application Server documentation takes precedence, and can be found at: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEQTP/mapfiles/product_welcome_was.html

Procedure

  1. On the server where you want to install the Network Manager GUI components, ensure that IBM Installation Manager is installed.
  2. Start IBM Installation Manager:
    1. Change to the directory where IBM Installation Manager is installed.
    2. Run the following command: 
      ./IBMIM
      IBM Installation Manager starts in wizard mode.

Not all products and components support all installation modes.
  3. Click Install.
  4. On the next Install Packages screen where you can select packages to install, select the following components and click Next:

      Note: If you want to use WebSphere Application Server version 9, you must have new installation of WebSphere Application Server version 9, Network Manager Fix Pack 11 and Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Web GUI Version 8.1.0.20 or later. This is because of the upgrade path is not available for WebSphere Application Server from version 8 to version 9.

    • IBM Websphere SDK Java™ Technology Edition. For Network Manager Fix Pack 9 and earlier versions, this component must be installed separately, and version 8 is required.
