      • Prepare the WebSphere® Application Server environment

      • Integrating HCL VersionVault with Cadence Virtuoso

        The HCL VersionVault Cadence Virtuoso Integration is available as a separate extension offering and can be independently installed and uninstalled using IBM Installation Manager. This mechanism allows you to upgrade the integration bits without the need to upgrade the underlying VersionVault.

      • Configure your environment after installation or upgrade

        For some types of HCL VersionVault and HCL VersionVault MultiSite hosts, some configuration tasks are required after you complete a product installation or upgrade operation.

        • Completing the installation on a license server host

          If you are using the Atria licensing model, create a license database file on each host that you have selected to be a license server host. This file must contain the license authorization code obtained from HCL.

        • Completing the installation on a registry server host

          To complete installation of a registry server host, you must create a VOB-tag password file on that registry server host.

        • Verifying installation on individual hosts

          Perform these tasks to determine whether HCL VersionVault is properly configured for an individual host. On Linux and UNIX systems, enter the commands listed in a shell. On Windows™, enter them at the command prompt.

        • Restoring customer-modified shipping configuration files in HCL VersionVault MultiSite

          If you are upgrading from an earlier release of HCL VersionVault MultiSite and have modified the shipping server configuration file (shipping.conf) or the request for mastership shipping configuration file (rfm_shipping.conf), the installation detects the changes. The installation log provides information about how to compare the new configuration template and the preserved file and merge changes from the back up into the new file if required.

        • WebSphere® Application Server settings for VersionVault WAN server

          Review IBM® WebSphere Application Server settings for the application server profile for the VersionVault WAN server. If you installed VersionVault into a new profile, the settings in the profile created during installation have been optimized for best performance. If you installed VersionVault into an existing profile or if the server has performance problems, the parameter values might require adjustment.

    • Use IBM® installation and packaging utilities

      Use IBM installation and packaging utilities to download and install software.
