IBM Tivoli and Cisco manual Preparing for the installation, Installation of the DB2 database

Preparing for the installation

Tivoli Configuration Manager Web Gateway requires several prerequisites to be successfully installed. The following steps must be accomplished before attempting Tivoli Configuration Manager Web Gateway installation:

￿Installation of the database server software. In our lab we used DB2 Version 8.2, as this is provided with the Tivoli Configuration Manager software.

￿Installation of the Web infrastructure, which is WebSphere Application Server and IBM HTTP server. In our lab we used the versions provided with the Tivoli Configuration Manager software and updated them with the latest fix packs.

￿Creation of a user account for database access.

Installation of the DB2 database

The installation of the DB2 database was covered in 6.1.1, “Installation of DB2 database server” on page 126. You may also use the same database that is used by the other components of Tivoli Configuration Manager.

Installation of Web infrastructure

Installation of WebSphere Application Server is a simple process. Below we describe the installation of WebSphere Application Server Version 5.1, which is included with Tivoli Configuration Manager. This process also installs IBM HTTP Server, which plays a role at the front end for incoming HTTP requests.

To perform the installation you need the following media:

￿WebSphere Application Server V5.1 for Windows. The product CD is included with your Tivoli Configuration Manager installation bundle.
