Rather than use the deployment environment wizard to create
a single-cluster or four-cluster topology for network deployment (ND),
you can create any topology you choose using the configuration wizard
or the wsadmin task.
To install the IBM® Business Monitor server
and all required components in a custom ND topology, use the following
high-level steps:
- Complete the pre-installation steps found in Preparing to install.
- Install IBM Business Monitor,
following the steps in Installing the IBM Business Monitor software.
Do not create a development profile.
- Create a deployment manager profile using either the Profile Management
Tool or the manageprofiles command, following the steps in Creating and augmenting profiles.
- Unless you created the MONITOR database as part of creating the
profile, run the scripts to create the database, following the instructions
in Creating the databases.
- Start the deployment manager.
- Create custom nodes that are federated into the deployment manager
cell, following the steps in Creating and augmenting profiles.
- Use the administrative console to create the clusters, following
the instructions in Creating IBM Business Monitor clusters.
- Configure the required common event infrastructure (CEI) event
services, following the instructions in Configuring CEI event services.
- Use the configuration wizard or the wsadmin command to configure
the environment, following the instructions in Configuring the environment using the configuration wizard or Configuring the environment using wsadmin commands. For the required shared components,
however, you must follow the manual steps provided in Configuring the environment manually.
- Configure additional components such as Business Space and IBM Cognos BI,
following the instructions in Configuring IBM Business Monitor components.
