About this task
If you plan to deploy IBM Content
Navigator on IBM WebSphere® Application Server
Network Deployment, you do not need to install IBM Content
Navigator on the deployment manager.
Important: If you plan to deploy IBM Content
Navigator in a clustered environment,
install the software on at least one server in the cluster. However,
it is easier to achieve high availability if you install the IBM Content
Navigator software on some or
all of the servers in the cluster.
Installing on all of the nodes in the cluster
has the following benefits:
- IBM Content
Navigator configuration
directory that you specify when you configure the IBM Content
Navigator web application exists
on all of the nodes in the cluster.
- The IBM Content
Navigator Configuration
and Deployment Tool remains available from multiple locations if the
original system fails.
- An installed IBM Content
Navigator instance
remains available to apply upgrades or fixes if the original system
fails.
- The IBM Content
Navigator shared
libraries are installed in the correct locations without needing to
be copied over from another node.
If you installed your web application server
as a user other than the root user, you must use the same user account
when you install IBM Content
Navigator on AIX®, Linux,
or Linux for System z®. If you do not, the IBM Content
Navigator Configuration and Deployment
Tool does not work properly.
