Author Installing WebSphere 6.0 !

2007-07-26, 7:21 pm

Hi Folks!

For installing WebSphere 6.0 (Network Deployment), can I just copy the entire directory structure from one server (where WAS 6.0 is already installed and cells configured) to another server and it should work??

I know we will have hard coded hostnames/ports in config files. How do we get around that?

I basically want to know if I can migrate the software to new server without actually having to install the software again on the new Server.

Thank you.

What is the platform?
AFAIK, on MSWindows the installation process does not just inflates directories tree, it also does
something more.

Don't. You won't be able to apply fixpacks to the new server.

Do you mean /usr/lib/objrepos/vpd.properties file?

What about copying it too?

Have you explored CIP(Cutomized installation package).

I have seen lot of people doing that not sure how they did it but seems like it is doable.

You might get it to work. Somewhere down the line, I wouldn't be
surprised if something breaks, and you're running an unsupported config,
and ....
