Installation

If required, please refer to the unsupported operating systems notes.

Please also see the WebSphere Application Server build documents

Silent response files

The silent response file provides all the answers that would normally be prompted for interactively. The installation can cover just the binaries, or create any combination of profiles also. The example below installs the binaries and creates a full cell, including a deployment manager, federated node and a single application server on that node.

-OPT silentInstallLicenseAcceptance="true"
-OPT installType="installNew"
-OPT feature="noFeature"
-OPT installLocation="/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer"
-OPT profileType="cell"
-OPT PROF_enableAdminSecurity="false"
-OPT PROF_dmgrProfileName="Dmgr01"
-OPT PROF_appServerProfileName="AppSrv01"
-OPT PROF_profilePath="/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles"
-OPT PROF_isDefault="false"
-OPT PROF_hostName="server01"
-OPT PROF_nodeName="server01CellManager01"
-OPT PROF_appServerNodeName="server01Node01"
-OPT PROF_cellName="server01Cell01"

Scripting

There are some scripts available on DeveloperWorks.

Uninstallation

To uninstall a WebSphere product, stop all of the product components and run the uninstall script.

cd /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/uninstall;
./uninstall -silent;

It will be necessary to do this for all components. For example, for a WAS installation, with IHS and Plugin:

/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/uninstall/uninstall -silent;
/opt/IBM/IHS/Plugin/uninstall/uninstall -silent;
/opt/IBM/IHS/uninstall/uninstall -silent;

A few remnants will be left behind, including partial profiles and log directories. Once any required archives have been made, simply delete them:

rm -rf /opt/IBM;
