You can install a feature pack on the Version 6.1 WebSphere Application Server base, Express, or Network Deployment product.
Before you use the installation tools, read this topic to prepare for installation and to learn about installation options. Also read the hardware and software requirements on the Supported hardware and software Web site.
You install a feature pack on top of a Version 6.1 WebSphere Application Server product installation. If you prepared your operating system for the Version 6.1 installation, no additional preparation is required to install a feature pack.
If you have not installed a Version 6.1 product yet, install the WebSphere Application Server base, Express, or Network Deployment product. See the documentation for those products for instructions on installation.
For more supported software information, see the WebSphere® Application Server detailed system requirements.
The installation procedure requires
the installer ID to have the following advanced user rights, Act
as part of the operating system and Log on as a
service to install Windows services.
The installer ID can be a non-root
user ID. However, some installation procedures might require the installer
ID to be the root user. One such example is the GSKit, which is required
for using SSL with the IBM HTTP Server. After installing the IBM HTTP
Server or the Web server plug-ins as a non-root user, log on as the
root user and install GSKit. For detailed information on non-root
limitations see, Limitations of non-root installers.
Use the information in this topic to learn about the types of installation available. This topic has links to more detailed installation topics.
The feature pack is installed on an existing product installation.
