Sun Java Enterprise System 2005Q4 Installation Planning Guide

Adding Procedures for Delegated Administrator to Your Installation Plan

To add installation and configuration instructions for Delegated Administrator, do the following:

  1. If theDelegated Administrator instances are load balanced, add an instruction to your installation plan to confirm that the load balancer is functioning before anyJava ES software is installed.

  2. Next, in your plan, list all of the computers with Delegated Administrator instances.

    1. Delegated Administrator has a local dependency on a web container. Each computer that runs an instance of Delegated Administrator must also run an instance of the specified web container. Your deployment architecture should indicate which web container your solution is using.

    2. For each computer, add an instruction to run the Java ES installer and select Delegated Administrator. Add an instruction to select either Web Server or Application Server as the web container. Add an instruction to select either Access Manager SDK or Access Manager.

    3. If the computers that run Delegated Administrator are already listed in your plan (if the plan already has instructions for installing another component on the same computer) simply add an instruction to select Delegated Administrator. You can install Delegated Administrator at the same time as the other components, and deploy it to the same web container, but your plan must put the instructions for configuring, starting, and verifying any Directory Server, Access Manager, Messaging Server, or Calendar Serverinstances ahead of the instructions for configuring or starting the Instant Messaging instances.

  3. Add an instruction to run the Delegated Administrator configuration wizard. Underneath this instruction, list the key values for configuring the instance. UseTable 3–14 to help you select configuration values.

  4. Underneath each Web Server or Application Server instance, list the key values for configuring the instance. For information on selecting configuration values for these components, see Web Server or Application Server. If your plan already installs Web Server or Application Server on the computer, you do not need to repeat this step. You can deploy Delegated Administrator to the same web container instance when you run the Delegated Administrator configuration wizard.

  5. For each computer, add an instruction to start and verify the Delegated Administrator instance.

  6. If the Delegated Administrator instances are load balanced, add an instruction to verify operation of the load balancer.
