Sun Java Enterprise System Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows 

Chapter 4
Example Installation Sequences

The example installation sequences in this chapter are intended to provide high-level guidelines for some common Java ES installations. These are not literal procedures, but instead provide the sequential steps required to implement particular deployment scenarios.

The single-session scenarios describe typical steps to install one or a number of Java ES components on a single host in a single installation session. An evaluation example is included.

The remaining scenarios describe situations where multiple installation sessions are performed on multiple hosts, for a variety of solutions.


Note

The Schema 1 example is the only scenario based on LDAP Schema 1. The other examples in this chapter are based on Schema 2.


This chapter contains the following sections:


Single-Session Installation Examples

The following examples apply to installation on a single host in a single session:

Evaluation Example

An evaluation installation is generally considered a trial deployment, a quick installation to see how things go. The Java ES components are installed on a single host in a single installation session. This example uses the graphical interface and the Configure Automatically During Installation option.

The general steps for this type of installation include the following:

  1. Starting the Java ES graphical installer
  2. Chapter 5, "Installing Sun Java Enterprise System Using the Installation Wizard"

  3. At component selection, selecting ‘Sun Java Enterprise System’
  4. The installer verifies the software on your system and provides guidance if incompatibilities are identified.

  5. Verifying the installation directories
  6. Selecting the appropriate configuration option
  7. Accepting the configuration defaults when they are offered
  8. To use non-default information, review the appropriate configuration tables in Chapter 6, "Configuration Information of the Components".

Communication and Collaboration Services Example

This example uses most of the Java ES components to implement communication and collaboration services. For large deployments, you might deploy each component on a separate server, in approximately the same order as shown in this example. For small deployments, components are installed in separate installation sessions on fewer servers.

Directory Server is required for all the communications components, but not necessarily a local copy. A local copy of Administration Server is required by Messaging Server. Access Manager or the Access Manager SDK is required, but Access Manager can be remote. In this example, Web Server serves as the web container, which is required by Access Manager. Although Calendar Server and Messaging Server do not require a local web container, Communications Express does. Communications Express can use a remote copy of Calendar Server, but Messaging Server must be local.

Instant Messaging and Portal Server Secure Remote Access are added to the front-end server (Host D) after the other components are installed and functioning. Instant Messaging requires Access Manager and a local or remote web container. Portal Server Secure Remote Access requires Access Manager and a local web container. Portal Server Secure Remote Access also requires Portal Server, but not necessarily a local copy.

In this example, the following installation sessions are used:

By dividing the installation into a number of sessions, you can verify the components in each session before proceeding to the next session.

The general steps for this type of installation include:

On Host A
  1. Installing and starting Access Manager and Directory Server
  2. Access Manager and Directory Server Example

On Host B
  1. Installing and starting Portal Server and Web Server, specifying the remote Access Manager and Directory Server that are installed on Host A
  2. A web container and the Access Manager SDK must be local to Portal Server.

Communications Express and Messaging Server Example

This example installs Communications Express for messaging services in a 2-host Schema 2 environment. A remote copy of Directory Server is used.

Communications Express requires either Access Manager or the Access Manager SDK for Schema 2. A local copy of Access Manager SDK is always required, but you can use a remote copy of Access Manager. Directory Server is required for Access Manager and Communications Express, but Directory Server does not need to be on the local host. Communications Express requires a local web container which can be either Application Server or Web Server.

To use messaging services, Communications Express requires a local copy of Messaging Server, which requires a local copy of Administration Server. To use calendar services, Communications Express requires Calendar Server, but Calendar Server does not need to be on the local host. This example uses messaging services.


Note

You must use Access Manager Legacy (6.x) installation type if you are installing Access Manager with Portal Server, Messaging Server, Calendar Server, Delegated Administrator, or Instant Messaging. Access Manager Realm (7.x) installation type can only be used if you are not installing any of these components.


On Host A
  1. Installing and starting Directory Server
  2. Because Administration Server provides a graphical interface for Directory Server, you might also want to select Administration Server.

Portal Server Using a Remote Access Manager Example

Portal Server requires Access Manager. Access Manager requires a local or remote copy of Directory Server and a local web container. You can run Portal Server on a separate host from Access Manager, in which case Portal Server requires a local copy of the Access Manager SDK and a local web container. When you install Portal Server and the Access Manager SDK, you need to deselect the unneeded subcomponents of Access Manager. (The installer automatically selects all Access Manager subcomponents when you select Portal Server.)

The general steps for this type of installation include:

On Host A

Verifying that Access Manager and Directory Server are installed and running

Web and Application Services Example

HADB (used for high availability session storage) works with Application Server to provide failover capabilities that include session persistence.

This example provides guidelines for implementing a two-node HADB cluster with load balancing. However, a preferred solution is to install HADB on four hosts with nothing else installed on them. The domain administration server (DAS) with a copy of HADB for administration and a load balancer and Web Server would be installed on a separate machine.

On a partitioned operating system, a preferred solution is that two servers be installed (either host or zone) with at least one HADB process running on each.

Application Server requires a local copy of Message Queue. Application Server and HADB must be on the same host so you can use the integrated management tools provided by Application Server. The Load Balancing Plugin subcomponent of Application Server requires a web server. This example uses the Java ES Web Server as the container.

The general tasks include:

  1. Installing the Java ES components
  2. Starting the servers
  3. Configuring HADB
  4. Configuring load balancing

You can use the following guidelines to install all components on a node or zone. On subsequent nodes, install the components required by your deployment. A minimum of two installation sessions are required.

    To Develop a Sequence for Web and Application Services
  1. Verifying that the hardware is connected correctly for your cluster
  2. Running the Java ES installer
  3. At component selection, choosing Application Server and High Availability Session Store
  4. Message Queue and all the subcomponents of Application Server except the Application Server Node Agent and Load Balancing Plugin are automatically selected.

  5. Expanding the Application Server component and selecting Load Balancing Plugin.

  6. Note

    You must install Web Server and Load Balancing Plug-in using the same access permissions


  7. Resolving incompatibilities
  8. The installer verifies software on your host and provides guidance if incompatibilities are identified.

  9. Selecting the Configure Automatically During Installation option
  10. Message Queue requires no configuration.

    The configuration pages are displayed for components that can be configured during installation. Gather your configuration information from the table in “HADB Configuration Information” in Sun Java Enterprise System 2005Q4 Installation Reference.
