| Wizard field | Description |
|---|---|
| Node Host Name | Enter the host name of the target system on which the application server or portal server is to be installed. The host name of the target system can be the domain system name (DNS) name (short or long) or the IP address. Note: Multiple nodes installed
on a single host machine will have the same host name.
Default host name: None |
| z/OS® Support | Select Yes if you plan to install
the application server or portal server on a target system that is
running z/OS. Default value: No. |
| WebSphere® Installation Directory | Enter the installation root directory on the target system where WebSphere Application Server core product files are to be installed. Default installation path: None Windows® example: C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer Linux® example:/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer |
| Node Name | Enter the name of the application or portal server node. The node name must be unique within the cell. The Environment wizard creates the node for the cell definition: RAFW_HOME/user/environments/env_name/cells/cell_name/nodes/node_name Default node name: node01 In WebSphere, the node name is used for administration and must be unique within the cell. For naming guidelines, see WebSphere product documentation. |
| Profile Name | Enter the name of profile. The profile name is a directory
that defines a runtime environment for an application or portal server.
The directory is appended to the was_install_home installation
directory as shown in the examples. Default profile name: node01 Windows example: C:/Program Files/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/node01 Linux example: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/node01 |
| Profile Parent Directory | Enter the path to the profiles directory on the target system.
The profile for the application or portal server is created in this
directory. In WebSphere, the profiles directory contains a subdirectory for each application or portal server runtime environment that is managed by the cell. Default profiles directory: was_install_root/profiles Windows example: C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer/profiles UNIX® or Linux example:/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles |
| Node Type | Select the node type: WebSphere Application
Server or WebSphere Portal. Select WebSphere Application Server if only WebSphere Application Server is installed on the node. Select WebSphere Portal if WebSphere Portal and WebSphere Application Server are installed on the node. WebSphere Portal runs on top of WebSphere Application Server as an application. Default node type: None For supported product configurations, see WebSphere product documentation. |
