Installing the WebSphere Application Server/Portal Server Agent on the Deployment Manager Instance

Install the first instance of the WebSphere Application Server/Portal Server agent on the Deployment Manager instance.

To the WebSphere Application Server/Portal Server Agent on the Deployment Manager Instance

1. Ensure that the WebSphere Application Server 6.1 or 7.0 Network Deployment is down.

2. On the machine running Deployment Manager, install the agent onto the Deployment Manager server instance, as described in Installing the WebSphere Application Server/Portal Server Agent.

   Installation considerations are:

   • Use the agentadmin --custom-install option.

   • Several prompts specific to this installation are:

   Prompt	Description
   Instance Config Directory	Path to the configuration directory for the WebSphere Application Server instance. For example:  /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/Dmgr01/config/cells/ hostnameCell01/nodes/hostnameCellManager01/servers/dmgr
   Server Instance name	Name of the WebSphere Application Server instance. For example: dmgr
   Agent URL	Agent URL, including the deployment URIs. For example:  http://agenthost.example.com:9080/agentapp The agent application (agentapp.war) is a housekeeping application used by the agent for notifications and other functions such as cross domain single sign-on (CDSSO) support. For more information, see Deploying the Agent Application. Note: Since the agentapp cannot be deployed onto the Deployment Manager instance, this URL can point to an Application Server instance on the same host with the agentapp deployed.
