the following tasks on
WebSphere® Application Server
Network Deployment:
- Created a deployment manager profile
- Federated all nodes into the deployment manager cell
About this task
Complete the following steps to prepare the
environment for the installation.
Note: was_root is
the installation root directory for
WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment.
By default, this directory is:
/usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
- Verify that your CCF, OCS, or HSS is
configured properly to listen to the Diameter Enabler.

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.

not enabled.)
- Click Log in.
- Verify that the console preferences are set to synchronize
changes across the nodes:
- In the navigation panel, click .
- Select Synchronize changes with Nodes.
- Click Apply.

- Unpack the installation tar file to
the was_root directory
on the deployment manager and on each federated node. Perform the
following steps:
Note: If these are on separate machines,
repeat these steps for each machine.
- Log in to the server where the deployment manager or
federated node is installed.
- Copy the installation file from the CD (IBM_WebSphere_IMS_Connector/DHAImsConnectorInstallPackage_6.2.0.tar)
to the was_root directory.
- Change (cd) to the was_root directory.
- Unpack the file by typing the following command: tar -pxvf DHAImsConnectorInstallPackage_6.2.0.tar
