Setting up a federated unclustered production server

Set up a federated, unclustered production environment when you need a robust environment but do not require a clustered production environment.

About this task

Perform the following tasks to set up a federated, unclustered production server:
  1. Federated, unclustered server: Preparing prerequisite and corequisite software
    Before you create your high availability production environment, you must prepare your database, your user registry, your deployment manager, and your remote web server.
  2. Federated, unclustered server: Installing WebSphere Portal
    After you have prepared the operating system you are ready to install IBM WebSphere Portal on a federated, standalone production environment.
  3. Federated, unclustered server: Configuring the primary node to communicate with the deployment manager
    After installing IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment and installing IBM WebSphere Portal on the primary node, you must configure the primary node and the deployment manager to communicate with each other.
  4. Federated, unclustered server: Configuring a base portal into a primary node
    You are asked to perform this task during installation to configure the primary node if installing in a network deployment cell. This option configures a base portal into the primary node of a IBM WebSphere Application Server for z/OS® network deployment cell. This is supported with Apache Derby as the underlying database, which must be later transferred to IBM DB2 Universal Database™ for z/OS. It will give you a working base portal in the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS network deployment cell.
  5. Federated, unclustered server: Tuning your z/OS environment
    You must tune your environment before installing and customizing IBM WebSphere Portal to ensure optimal performance between your z/OS and WebSphere Portal.
  6. Federated, unclustered server: Transferring data
    Transfer data from the Apache Derby database to the IBM DB2 Universal Database for z/OS database that you have installed and set up.
  7. Federated, unclustered server: Preparing a remote Web server when portal is installed on z/OS
    Install and configure the web server plug-in, provided by IBM WebSphere Application Server to set up your web server to communicate with IBM WebSphere Portal.
  8. Federated, unclustered server: Configuring WebSphere Portal to use a user registry
    A user registry prevents unauthorized access to the server and protects your data.
