Sametime® V9.0.1 servers were installed on IBM®
WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment
V8.5.5.8. Before you can update Sametime to Feature Pack
1, you must update WebSphere to V8.5.5.11 or
later.
About this task
For more information on updating WebSphere with
fixes, see the tech note for Readme for IBM WebSphere Application Server V8.5.5.11.
Important: Sametime 9.0.1 FP1 requires Java 6; you should already have Java 6 installed
with Sametime 9.0.1. If you are prompted to update to Java version 8 during the WebSphere update, do
not allow it. Updating to Java 8 will cause Sametime server installations to fail.
