You can install another WebSphere ESB to
coexist with an existing installation using the installation wizard graphical
user interface (GUI).
Before you begin
Before installing another
WebSphere ESB you
must ensure that:
- you have an installation of WebSphere ESB on
your system. You do not have to have an existing WebSphere ESB profile
to install another WebSphere ESB.
- your system meets all the hardware and software requirements. See http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wsesb/sysreqs/ for
more information.
- you have prepared your operating system for installation. See Preparing the operating system for installation.
- If you have enabled global security on an existing installation of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network
Deployment, ensure you turn it off before installing WebSphere ESB For
information on enabling and disabling global security, see Setting up WebSphere ESB security.
- you are logged on as root on a Linux or UNIX system, or as a member of
the Administrator group on a Windows system.
Why and when to perform this task
The installation steps in this topic assume installation from product
CDs. If you plan to install from images obtained from Passport Advantage,
see
Special considerations when installing from Passport Advantage for
important information.
Steps for this task
- Select the product CD labelled WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus,
Version 6.0.1, CD 1 for your platform and insert it into the CD-ROM drive.
- If the Launchpad does not start automatically, then:
On Linux and UNIX platforms: Mount the drive,
then run the command mount_point/launchpad.sh where mount_point is
the mount point on the Linux or UNIX system.
On Windows platforms: From the
root directory of the CD drive, run the command launchpad.exe .
The Launchpad is displayed. The Launchpad provides
links to the installation wizards and to sources of information.
- From the Launchpad, click WebSphere ESB installation.
- Click Launch the installation wizard. The
Welcome panel is displayed.
- Click Next to continue. The License Agreement
panel is displayed.
- Read the license agreement and, if you agree, select I accept
the terms in the license agreement then click Next to continue.
The System Prerequisite Check panel is displayed and the installation
wizard checks for a supported operating system with prerequisite patches.
At the end of the process, this panel indicates whether your system passed
the check.
If you do not have a supported operating system or the required
prerequisite patches on your system, cancel the installation, make the required
changes, and restart the installation. Otherwise continue with step 7.
- On the System Prerequisite Check panel, click Next to continue.
The installation wizard checks for existing installations of WebSphere ESB or WebSphere Application Server Network
Deployment, Version 6.0.x. This procedure assumes that you have an existing
installation of WebSphere ESB on
your system. In this case, an Existing Installation Detected panel is displayed.
Important: The installer will also detect unregistered instances of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment,
Version 6.0.x, if they have entries in the .WASRegistry file. Using an unregistered
installation with your Websphere ESB installation is not supported.
- Select Install a new copy of WebSphere ESB and
clickNext. A Warning panel is displayed which outlines
considerations you must make when installing the product to coexist with an
existing installation of WebSphere ESB.
- Click Next to continue. A Warning panel
is displayed which outlines considerations you must make when installing the
product on a system on which an existing installation of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment
already exists.
- Click Next to continue. The Installation
Location panel is displayed.
- Accept the default installation root directory for WebSphere ESB and WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment
(which is installed silently with WebSphere ESB),
or specify a different directory, and click Next. See Default installation paths for
the default directories used by the Installation wizard on all supported platforms.
Note: - The default root directory field must not be blank.
- Non-ASCII special characters in directory names are not supported.
On Linux and UNIX platforms: Do not use
symbolic links as the destination directory, they are not supported. Also,
do not use spaces in the installation directory path.
On Linux platforms: The installation directory
path is limited to 256 characters.
On Windows platforms: The installation directory
path is limited to 60 characters.
The Feature Selection panel is displayed.
- Select the features you want to install and click Next. See Product components for
descriptions of the features that can be selected from this panel. The Installation Summary panel is displayed, which details the
components that will be installed, the amount of space they will consume,
and where they will be located on the system.
- Review the summary information and click Next to install
the product code, Back to change your options or Cancel to quit
the installation wizard. The installation wizard shows a
progress panel to indicate that components are being installed and creates
the uninstaller program. At the end of the installation, the Installation
Complete panel is displayed.
Attention: If errors are detected
during installation, other panels might be displayed in place of the Installation
Complete panel. For example:
- Installation Is Complete With Errors panel, which indicates that installation
completed but errors were generated.
- Installation Failed panel, which indicates that installation failed completely.
Each of these panels point you to the log file, which contains more details
to help you to resolve the errors.
- If the Installation Complete panel is displayed at the end of product
installation, do one of the following:
- To create a new profile, leave the check box beside Launch the Profile
Wizard selected and click Next. The installation wizard closes
and the Profile wizard is launched. See Creating and augmenting profiles using the Profile wizard for instructions on how to use this wizard
to create new server profiles or augment existing application server profiles
into WebSphere ESB profiles.
- If you do not want to create a new profile, clear the check box beside Launch
the Profile Wizard and clickNext. In this case, a warning panel
is displayed, which explains that without a profile there is no operational
server. Do one of the following:
- Click Back for another chance to launch the Profile wizard.
- Click Next.
The Installation Complete panel is displayed with a check box to launch
the First Steps console. Ensure that this check box is selected and click Finish to
close the Installation wizard and launch the First Steps console.
Attention: To have an operational environment,
a WebSphere ESB stand-alone
profile or deployment manager profile with managed nodes must exist.
What to do next
If the Installation Complete panel is displayed at the end of the
procedure,
WebSphere ESB was
installed successfully.
