About this task
Unpack the installation tar file in the was_root directory.
Note: was_root is the installation root directory for WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment. By default, this directory is:
  • AIX /usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
  • Linux /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
Complete the following steps to prepare WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment version 7.0.0.1 for the IBM XDMS installation:
  1. 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. (Omit the password if security is not enabled.)
    3. Click Log in.
