Choose When to Configure Components

The Choose a Configuration Type page specifies whether you want to configure certain components through the installer during installation or run their configurators at a later time.

You have two choices on this page: Configure Now or Configure Later.

Configure Now

Configure Now is selected by default and enables you to configure certain components in the installer during installation. Components that can be configured during installation are as follows:

• Access Manager

• Application Server

• Directory Server

• HADB

• Portal Server

• Portal Server Secure Remote Access

• Proxy Server

• Web Server

Components that cannot be configured during installation and must be configured later are as follows:

• Java DB

• Monitoring Console

• Service Registry

• Sun Cluster

• Sun Cluster Agents

• Sun Cluster Geographic Edition

Although Sun Cluster software cannot be configured during installation, if you select Configure Now for these components the installer offers you the option of enabling remote support to simplify postinstallation configuration.

When you select Configure Now for components that can be configured during installation, the installer prompts you for configuration information and walks you through several configuration pages for each component. Runnable instances are created and components configured during installation can be started and verified after the installation is complete.

When you select Configure Now for components that cannot be configured during installation, you will be advised as such by a page in the installer. You later create runnable instances by providing configuration values in the configuration wizards or configuration files of the individual components.

Configure Later

If you select Configure Later the installer copies component software files to the host but no configuration is performed. The installer proceeds without further configuration, and no runnable instances are created. You create runnable instances by providing configuration values in the configuration wizards or configuration files of the individual components. All components can be configured after installation.

If you select Configure Later, you proceed to the Ready to Install page. If you select Configure Now, you proceed through configuration pages.
