To set up the application servers:
1. Install WebSphere Portal
Install WebSphere® Portal on every application server. For detailed installation instructions, see
Installing in the
WebSphere Portal information center.
2. Create a managed node for the application
1. Run the Profile Management Tool. Type /usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/ProfileManagement/pmt.sh on the command line to start it.
2. Create a Custom Profile. Type /usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/manageprofiles.sh -create -templatePath /usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profileTemplates/default -profileName cslpar2Node1
3. Go to the bin of the profile you just created. Type /usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/cslpar2Node1/bin
and federate the profile specifying the server that is running Deployment Manager. For example, if cslpar1 is running the Deployment Manager process and cslpar2 is the node that you just created, then run the following command:
addNode.sh cslpar1
Note: Perform this procedure on every application server.
