IBM Enterprise Workload Manager Release 1

Chapter 2. Installing and configuring EWLM 51

and further issues if your domain manager is on other supported operating systems. This is

the focus of the following sections.

2.5.1 Domain manager on AIX

The configuration of the domain manager on AIX is very similar to the Linux configuration.

EWLM. On AIX you need to create a CDROM file system first using the smitty crcdrfs

command. Insert the first CD, labeled “VE Console & Runtime for AIX 5L (1 of 3)” and mount

the CDROM file system. The mount point in our example is /cdrom. Change to this directory

and look at the ls command output. The sequence of steps looks as follows:

# mount /cdrom

# cd /cdrom

# ls

Common/ VEInstall.ico installVECore.jar*

EWLM/ installVE.jar* log.txt

VEC/ installVEAgents.jar* uninstallVEAix.sh*

VECoreLog.txt installVEAix.sh*

The following command executes the installVEAix script and the Virtualization Engine

wizard appears on your screen:

# ./installVEAix.sh

Alternatively, you can mount the CDROM and launch autorun to start the installation. Use the

mount -v cdrfs -oro /dev/cd0 /mnt command to mount the CD. Launch the installation

program by typing the /mnt/autorun command. Autorun creates temporary directories, copies

the setup file from the CD to the temporary directory and launches the installVEAix.sh

script.

The space required for the installation directory /opt/IBM/VE is about 500 MB. The required

space for the installation directory for all operating systems is shown in Table 1-1 on page 17.

At the time of writing you must be root user to install EWLM code and to run WebSphere

Application Server and the domain manager. This is due to WebSphere requirements which

we explained in the first part of this chapter.

2.5.2 Domain manager on Windows

When you set up your domain manager on Windows you start by copying the installation

images to your server as we described in 2.3, “Virtualization Engine suite” . The CDs you

need for running domain manager on Windows are labeled “VE Console & Runtime for

Windows (N of 3).”

The configuration commands and associated log files are located at C:\Program

Files\IBM\VE\EWLM\bin. To create the domain manager on Windows you can either issue the

command sequence described in “Configuring domain manager using command line” on

page 34 or you can call a configuration wizard as shown in “Configuring domain manager

using the wizard” on page 38.

If you want to run the WebSphere Application Server and the domain manager as user

Administrator you can immediately start the configuration. If you want to create another user

to run these commands, you need to make sure that this user has the right operating system

privileges. For example, create a user ibmewlm as a member of the administrative group with

the following privileges:

򐂰 Act as part of the operating system

򐂰 Log on as a service
