As an alternative to these step-by-step instructions, you also can uninstall Installation

Manager using the GIN2UNIN sample job.

4.5 Installing WebSphere Application Server

You can install WebSphere Application Server V8 using the command line or the supplied

jobs. In this section, we describe how to install WebSphere Application Server using the

command line.

4.5.1 Installing using the command line

Complete the following steps to install WebSphere Application Server using the command

line:

1. Create an empty file system to hold the WebSphere Application Server installation.

You can create the file system manually, or you can use the zCreateFileSystem.sh script.

The file system needs at least 35,000 tracks (3390) or 1,800 MB. Example 4-12 shows a

sample execution using the following parameters:

-name Data set name

-type Type of file system

-megabytes Primary and secondary allocation

-volume Volume where the data set will reside

-mountpoint Directory where the file system will be mounted

-owner Directory owner

-group Group owner

Example 4-12 Creating an empty file system

/InstallationManager/bin/eclipse/tools $ zCreateFileSystem.sh -name OMVS.

BBO8558.SBBOHFS -type ZFS -megabytes 1800 200 -volume TARHF1 -mountpoint

/usr/lpp/zWebSphere/V8R5 -owner STC -group TSO

CWLCS9012I Creating mount point directory /usr/lpp/zWebSphere/V8R5.

CWLCS9013I Mount point directory /usr/lpp/zWebSphere/V8R5 successfully created.

CWLCS9006I Mounting data set OMVS.BBO8558.SBBOHFS at mount point

/usr/lpp/zWebSphere/V8R5.

CWLCS9007I OMVS.BBO8558.SBBOHFS successfully mounted at mount point

/usr/lpp/zWebSphere/V8R5.

CWLCS9017I Setting owner and group for directory /usr/lpp/zWebSphere/V8R5.

CWLCS9018I Owner and group successfully set for directory

/usr/lpp/zWebSphere/V8R5.

CWLCS9019I Setting permissions for directory /usr/lpp/zWebSphere/V8R5.

CWLCS9020I Permissions succesfully set for directory /usr/lpp/zWebSphere/V8R5.

As an alternative, you can use the BBO1CFS job to create the file system instead of using

the command line.

2. Confirm that the repository has the needed packages by running imcl

listAvailablePackages from the /InstallationManager/bin/eclipse/tools directory, as

shown in Example 4-13. Use the repositories parameter to set the repository location.

Example 4-13 Listing available packages on a repository

/InstallationManager/bin/eclipse/tools $ imcl listAvailablePackages

-repositories /usr/lpp/InstallationManagerRepository/HBBO850

com.ibm.websphere.IHS.zOS.v85_8.5.0.20120501_1121

com.ibm.websphere.NDDMZ.zOS.v85_8.5.0.20120501_1118

com.ibm.websphere.PLG.zOS.v85_8.5.0.20120501_1122

com.ibm.websphere.zOS.v85_8.5.0.20120501_1118

3. Install WebSphere Application Server by running imcl install, as shown in

Example 4-14, using the following parameters:

<package name> The package to be installed

-installationDirectory The directory where the package is installed

-repositories The repository location

-sharedResourcesDirectory The directory where the artifacts from repository are stored

-acceptLicense To accept the software license agreement

Example 4-14 WebSphere Application Server installation

/InstallationManager/bin/eclipse/tools $ imcl install com.ibm.websphere.zOS.v85

-installationDirectory /usr/lpp/zWebSphere/V8R5 -repositories

/usr/lpp/InstallationManagerRepository/HBBO850 -sharedResourcesDirectory

/InstallationManager/sharedResources -acceptLicense

Installed com.ibm.websphere.zOS.v85_8.5.0.20120501_1118 to the

/usr/lpp/zWebSphere/V8R5 directory.

As an alternative, you can use the BBO1INST job to install WebSphere Application Server

instead of using the command line.

4. After installing WebSphere Application Server, mount and remount the product file system

in read-only mode for use by WebSphere Application Server nodes and servers.

4.5.2 Installing additional packages

WebSphere Application Server includes the following additional packages:

 DMZ secure proxy

 IBM HTTP server

 Web server plug-ins

You can install these packages using the following jobs:

 BBO2CFS to allocate a file system for the DMZ secure proxy

Important: You can find the license for a package in the lafiles subdirectory of the

Installation Manager repository. Be sure to check it before installing products.

Important: The -sharedResourcesDirectory parameter can be omitted in subsequent

commands after the shared resources directory is set for the first time.
