Administrative UI Installation Options
The Administrative UI requires an application server to run. As such, two installation options are available:
- Standalone installationThis option creates the required application server infrastructure through a prerequisite installer. The prerequisite installer installs an embedded application server (JBoss) and the required JDK. Verify that the Administrative UI host system meets the minimum system requirements before starting the installation.
The prerequisite installer launches the Administrative UI installer after a successful installation. The Administrative UI installer uses the embedded application server infrastructure to complete the installation.
Note: If you are installing to UNIX and running the prerequisite installation media in consolemode, you manually start the Administrative UI installer to complete the installation.
- Existing application server installationThis option lets you install the Administrative UI to an existing application server infrastructure. The Administrative UI installer prompts you for application server-specific information and the location of the required JDK. Verify that the Administrative UI host system meets all system and thirdparty component requirements before starting the installation.
The following sections detail how to install the Administrative UI to an existing application server. For more information about the stand-alone installation, see Installing the Administrative UI.
