Installing a WebSphere Application Server 7 deployment manager
Install an IBM® WebSphere® Application Server deployment manager on Linux™ or Microsoft™ Windows™ for use with the IBM Sametime® Bandwidth Manager. This procedure installs both the deployment manager and the primary node.
Procedure
- On the computer where you will install WebSphere Application Server 7, log on as root (Linux) or as the system administrator (Windows).
- Find the software packages you need to download.
- Download the packages.
- Extract all downloaded packages.
- To install the Bandwidth Manager navigate to the install
directory according the platform you are using. For example,
- Linux:
/root/Downloads/SametimeMediaManager/BandwidthManager/scripts
- Windows: This path
uses forward slashes for Microsoft Windows.
C:/Downloads/SametimeMediaManager/BandwidthManager/scripts
The following two files in the scripts directory need to be updated with the Bandwidth Manager's DB2® details and WebSphere Application Server details:- db2.connection.properties file

For Sametime, you install WebSphere Application Server 7 using its own installation program instead of using the IBM Installation Manager.
- Linux:
- Start the installation by navigating to the Bandwidth Manager
installation files directory, for example,
/root/Downloads/SametimeMediaManager/BandwidthManager
- Enter this installation command:/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppSphere/profiles/Dmgr01/bin/ws_ant.sh -Dinstall.db=trueNote: If the values in the properties files are not correct and do not correlate with the server's setup, the install will fail.
- On the Welcome screen, click Next.
- On the Software License Agreement screen, review the license agreement, click I accept both the IBM and the non-IBM terms, and then click Next.
- On the System Prerequisites Check screen,
verify that your computer satisfies the requirements, and then click Next.
If you computer does not meet the requirements, stop the installation and configure your system to meet the stated requirements before beginning the installation again.
- On the Optional Features Installation screen, you can choose to install non-English language packages for the Integrated Solutions Console and for the runtime environment (for example, the wsadmin tool and logging); click Next when you are ready to proceed.
- On the Installation Directory screen,
either accept the default path or Browse to
select an appropriate location.For example, browse to or enter the path X:/IBM/WebSphere/AppServerNote: This path requires forward slashes for Microsoft Windows.
- Click Next.
- On the WebSphere Application Server Environments screen, select the Deployment manager profile. Click Next.
- At the Enable Administrative Security screen,
select Enable administrative security, create
a new WebSphere Application
Server administrator account by typing a user name and a password
(and confirming the password), and then click Next.
Enabling administrative security provides the authentication of users accessing the WebSphere administration functions, the use of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) data encryption, and the choice of user account repository (the LDAP directory against which users will be authenticated).
Note: In this step you create a single new administrator account; you can create additional administrator accounts later. To avoid conflicts, do not use an account that already exists in the deployment's LDAP directory. - At the Installation Summary screen,
review the installation details. Use the Back button
to return to earlier screens and make any needed changes, then proceed
until you reach this screen once again. When you are ready to run
the installation, click Next.
During installation, a progress bar is displayed and the activity is logged to the log file. When the installation is complete, the wizard displays a message indicating whether the installation was successful.
- Review the message and then click Finish to
close the installation program.If the installation encountered problems, you can review the logs.
Windows
The app_server_root\logs\install\log.txt file and the app_server_root\logs\manageprofiles\profile_name_create.log file record installation and profile creation status.
Linux
The app_server_root/logs/install/log.txt file and the app_server_root/logs/manageprofiles/profile_name_create.log file record installation and profile creation status.
