Start the Servers

You start the servers in your WebSphere implementation so that it is available for use.

To start the servers

  1. If you installed a SiteMinder Policy Server, start the Policy Server that supports CA Identity Manager.

    Note: If you have a Policy Server cluster, only one Policy Server should be running while you create Identity Manager directories, create or modify Identity Manager environments, or change WorkPoint settings.

  2. Run the Deployment Manager if you have a WebSphere cluster.

    If have only a single node installation, skip to Step 7.

  3. On the first managed node, complete the following steps:
    1. Navigate to was_home\WebSphere\AppServer\bin.
    2. Execute the startNode.bat\.sh command.

      The first managed node starts.

  4. Repeat Step 2 on each node in the cluster.
  5. Start each cluster member in Servers, Clusters, cluster name, Cluster Members in the WebSphere Administrative Console on the Deployment Manager.
  6. Be sure that the messaging engine for the cluster is running in Service integration, Buses, IMSBus, Messaging Engines in the WebSphere Admin Console on the Deployment Manager.
  7. Start the Web Server where you installed the SiteMinder Web Agent and the application server proxy plug-in.
