WebSphere brand IBM WebSphere Presence Server, Version 7.0

Verifying that the required software is installed

Before installing IBM® WebSphere® Presence Server Component, you must install the prerequisite software.

About this task

To help you get started, use this procedure as a checklist to ensure you have the prerequisite software installed. This information is provided as guidance. For detailed instructions, refer to the product documentation for the prerequisite software.

If possible, use the default profiles for WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment and do not customize the profile with the Profile Management Tool. If you need to use an advanced profile, do not select the for development profile. It may cause problems with the WebSphere Application Server SIP container.

  1. Verify that a supported DB2® or Oracle database server is installed. Supported database versions are listed in the topic Software requirements.
  2. Verify that an appropriate version of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment is installed. Supported versions are listed in the Software requirements topic in this information center.

    When installing the application server, be sure to select the Cell (deployment manager and a managed node) option. If you are using a distributed topology where you have the deployment manager installed on a different server than the managed node, refer to the WebSphere Application Server Information Center for information about adding managed nodes.

  3. Start the deployment manager. Run the following command:
    • AIX was_profile_root/bin/startManager.sh
    • Linux was_profile_root/bin/startManager.sh

    Where:

    was_profile_root is the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment profile directory.
  4. Log in to the Integrated Solutions Console:
    1. Open a browser and navigate to the following URL: https://host_name:port/ibm/console.
      Where:
      • host_name is the fully qualified host name of the server where the application or the network deployment manager is deployed.
      • port is the secured port used to access the console. The default port is 9043.
      Note: The default unsecured port is 9060. If you use 9060, you must have "http" instead of "https" in the URL.
    2. Enter an administrator user ID and password.
    3. Click Log in.
  5. Verify that you have the correct version of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment installed:
    1. Click Welcome.
    2. Click WebSphere Application Server.
    3. Under About your WebSphere Application Server , you should see a line of text indicating that your WebSphere version is one of those specified in the Software requirements topic.
What to do next
After you have installed the required software, you are ready to create the cluster or clusters on which you will deploy the Presence Server product.
