Install IBM® WebSphere® Application Server
7 Linux™ or Microsoft™ Windows™ for
use with the IBM Sametime® Bandwidth Manager.
Before you begin
Note: Most of the Sametime 9.0.1 servers that run IBM WebSphere® Application Server require version
8.5.5.10; however the Sametime Bandwidth Manager requires WebSphere Application Server version
7.0.0.33, which was packaged with Sametime 8.5.2. You can download the WebSphere Application Server
version 7.0.0.33 and the related WebSphere interim fixes for the Bandwidth Manager from IBM
Passport Advantage. For part numbers, see the topic
