To Create a Portal Instance on WebSphere 5.1.1.6 on a Remote Node

Before You Begin

Ensure the following:

• Portal Server, Access Manager, and Common Agent Container are up and running on the first node. Execute the following command on Node 1: PortalServer-base/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin list-portals -u user-name -f admin-password

1. Install WebSphere.

2. Start the WebSphere.

3. Run the Java ES installer, select Access Manager SDK and install in the Configure Later mode.

4. Edit the values in the amsamplesilent file.

   For Solaris, the amsamplesilent file is present in the /AccessManager_base/SUNWam/bin directory. For Linux, it is in the /AccessManager_base/sun/identity directory.

5. Change the following values in the amsamplesilent file:

   • DEPLOY_LEVEL=4

   • SERVER_NAME=AccessManager_hostname without FQDN

   • SERVER_HOST=$SERVER_NAME.domain.com

   • SERVER_PORT=AccessManager_admin_port

   • ADMIN_PORT=Admin port for the web container on which Access Manager resides

   • DS_HOST=DirectoryServer_hostname with FQDN

   • DS_DIRMGRPASSWD=Directory Manager Password

   • ROOT_SUFFIX=root suffix of AccessManager

   • ADMINPASSWD=AccessManager_password

   • AMLDAPUSERPASSWD=LDAP_password

   • COOKIE_DOMAIN=.domain.com

   • AM_ENC_PWD=any string

   • NEW_OWNER=root

   • NEW_GROUP=other

     This value is root for Solaris 10 and Linux, and other for Solaris 9.

   • PAM_SERVICE_NAME=other

   • WEB_CONTAINER=WL8

   • BASEDIR=Directory where Access Manager SDK is installed.

     For example, /Access_Manager_base/SUNWam.

   • CONSOLE_HOST=FQDN of host where Portal needs to be installed

   • CONSOLE_PORT=Port where new Portal needs to be installed, which is the port of the managed server

   • CONSOLE_PROTOCOL=$SERVER_PROTOCOL

   • AM_REALM=disabled

   • WAS51_HOME=/Websphere_base_dir/Websphere/AppServer

   • WAS51_JDK_HOME=/Websphere_base_dir/WebSphere/AppServer/java

   • WAS51_CELL=usually hostname without FQDN. Please check it in your install.

   • WAS51_NODE=usually hostname without FQDN. Please check it in your install.

   • WAS51_INSTANCE=server1

   • WAS51_PROTOCOL=$SERVER_PROTOCOL

   • WAS51_HOST=$SERVER_NAME

   • WAS51_PORT=$SERVER_PORT

   • WAS51_SSLPORT=9081

   • WAS51_ADMIN=admin

   • WAS51_ADMINPORT=$ADMIN_PORT

6. Run the following command:

   AccessManager_base/SUNWam/bin/amconfig -s AccessManager_base/SUNWam/bin/amsamplesilent

   For Linux, the amsamplesilent utility is available in the /AccessManager_base/sun/identity directory.

7. Run the installer again and install Portal Server in the Configure Later mode.

8. Configure the common agent container and Java DB.

   PortalServer_base/bin/psconfig --config example2.xml

9. Verify that common agent container is working properly.

   PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin list-portals -u amadmin -f ps_password

10. Copy the PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/template/Webcontainer.properties.IBMWAS5 file to a PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/secondinstance.properties file.

11. Edit the following properties in the secondinstance.properties file.

    • Host=hostname.domain

    • Port=9080

    • Scheme=http

    • WebContainerType=IBMWAS5

    • WebContainerInstallDir=/Websphere_base/IBM/WebSphere/Express51/AppServer

    • WebContainerInstanceName=server1

    • WebContainerDomainName=Leave Blank

    • WebContainerInstanceDir=Leave Blank

    • WebContainerDocRoot=Leave Blank

    • WebContainerAdminHost=hostname.domain

    • WebContainerAdminPort=9090

    • WebContainerAdminScheme=http

    • WebContainerAdminUid=admin userid

    • WebContainerAdminPassword=admin passwd

    • WebContainerJDKDir=/Websphere_base/IBM/WebSphere/Express51/AppServer/java

    • WebContainerDeployCell=usually hostname without FQDN. Please check it in your install.

    • WebContainerDeployNode=usually hostname without FQDN. Please check it in your install.

12. Create the new instance of Portal Server.

    PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin create-instance -u amadmin -f ps_password -p portal1 -w secondinstance.properties

13. Restart the web container.

14. Verify that the new Portal Server instance is created.

    PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin list-portals -u amadmin -f ps_password

15. Access the second Portal Server instance.
