Installation scenarios

There are some common installation scenarios, which you can use as guidelines when installing InfoSphere® MDM in similar environments. The scenarios are not meant to address every possible configuration or environment, but show the basic steps involved in a custom installation involving multiple products and machines.

Before you install, ensure that the system or systems that you choose meet the necessary operating system, hardware, software, communications, disk, and memory requirements.

These scenarios assume that you have completed the following tasks:
Before you begin any installation, ensure that these conditions are met:
  • Ensure any Dmgr node agents are deployed and running.
  • Ensure any AppSrv node agents are deployed and running. For some installation scenarios, the WebSphere® Application Server AppSrv profile is called server1.
  • Ensure the JAVA_HOME and PATH environment variables are set correctly on each machine.
  • For WebSphere Application ServerNetwork Deployment, ensure the DB2_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH application server variables are targeted to the respective nodes containing the DB2® JDBC drivers for the machines. This is not applicable if you are using WebSphere Application Server base.
  • Know your machine host names and SOAP port numbers for Dmgr processing.
  • Know your host name and bootstrap port number of the application server, where the InfoSphere MDM application was previously installed as a result of running the IBM Installation Manager.
