Installing the master domain manager and backup master domain manager
A fresh installation for the master domain manager and the backup master domain manager
Procedure to install a master domain manager and backup master domain manager
- Installing WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base on the workstation where you plan to install the master domain manager and on the workstation where you plan to install the backup master domain manager.
- Creating and populating the database
- Creating the IBM Workload Scheduler administrative user
- On UNIX™ operating
systems, ensure that umask is set to 022. To verify that
umask is set to the correct value, from a command prompt, run
the umask command. If the value is different from 022,
modify it by running the following command:
umask 022
You can perform a typical installation, as described in the following scenario, or you can customize the installation parameters, as described in FAQ - master domain manager and backup master domain manager customizations.
For more information about all serverinst parameters and default values, see Server components installation - serverinst script.
- ca.crt
- tls.key
- tls.crt
The procedure to install the master domain manager and backup master domain manager is exactly the same, with the difference that it is performed on two different workstations and that each installation points to its local WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base installation. IBM Workload Scheduler determines whether or not a master domain manager is already present in the environment and proceeds to install a master domain manager or backup master domain manager accordingly.
The IBM Workload Scheduler administrator installs the master domain manager and backup master domain manager. The following information is required:
Command parameter | Information type | Provided in.. |
Database information | ||
--rdbmstype | database type | Creating and populating the database |
--dbhostname | database hostname | |
--dbport | database port | |
--dbname | database name | |
--dbuser | database user name | |
--dbpassword | database password | |
IBM Workload Scheduler information | ||
--wauser | IBM Workload Scheduler administrative user name | Creating the IBM Workload Scheduler administrative user |
--wapassword | IBM Workload Scheduler administrative user password | |
WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base information | ||
--wlpdir | WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base installation directory | Installing WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base |
Security information | ||
sslkeysfolder | name and path of the folder containing certificates | Installing the master domain manager and backup master domain manager |
--sslpassword | password for the certificates | Current procedure |
IBM Workload Scheduler installation directory | ||
--inst_dir | installation directory | Current procedure |
You can run the serverinst command specifying a typical set of parameters. In this case, default values are used for all remaining parameters. For more information about all serverinst parameters and default values, see Server components installation - serverinst script.
A properties file named serverinst.properties is available if you do not want to type parameters in the command line. This is expecially useful if you need to specify many parameters or if you want to reuse the file for several installations. The file is located in image_location/TWS/interp_name.
You can specify values in the properties file, type them in the command line, or use both methods. If a parameter is specified both in the properties file and in the command line, the command line value takes precedence.
If you need to modify any of the default values, edit the serverinst.properties file, but do not modify the serverinst.template file located in the same path.
To install the master domain manager and backup master domain manager, perform the following steps:
You have now successfully installed the master domain manager and backup master domain manager.
