Install the Deployment Manager

You set up a WebSphere cluster in the WebSphere Administrator Console.

Note: CA IdentityMinder does not support HTTP session persistence in a clustered environment.

To install WebSphere as the Deployment Manager

1. Decide which systems you plan to use for the cluster.
   1. Select a system for the WebSphere Deployment Manager. For best performance, the system should not be used as a node for cluster members.
   2. Determine the cluster member nodes.
2. Install the WebSphere Deployment Manager. Use both the installation instructions in the WebSphere System Management and Administration Redbook and the following guidelines.

   During the installation, note the directory where you install the Deployment Manager.

   1. Install the IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment software on the Deployment Manager system.

      When the installation completes, you are prompted to configure a profile, a WebSphere runtime environment.

   2. Run the Profile Creation Wizard to create the profile for the Deployment Manager system. When you are prompted to select a profile type, select the Deployment Manager profile.
   3. Start the Deployment Manager using one of the following methods:
      • Run the StartManager.bat (Windows)
      • StartManager.sh (Solaris) from a command prompt.

        The websphere_home/profiles/profile_name/bin folder contains the scripts.

If you registered the Deployment Manager as a Windows Service, use Windows Services to start the Deployment Manager.
