After installing the WebSphere Application Server product, you
can install it again on the same machine.
About this task
This is not a typical scenario. One of the main goals of multiple-profile
support is to minimize the need for scenarios like this. One reason that you
might want to install two or more instances of WebSphere Application Server
Version 6.1 on the same machine might be a need to have different fix levels
of the product on a machine for some reason.
Procedure
- Use the Installation wizard to install another set of the core
product files.
Select the new installation option from the Installation
wizard panel to install a new instance instead of adding features to the last
installation and to install into a separate profile directory.
- Use the Profile Management tool or the manageprofiles command
to create multiple application-server processes.
During profile
creation using the Profile Management tool, you can specify your port settings.
During
profile creation, the manageprofiles command can
use port values that you specify instead of the default port values. You can
use a port file, specify a starting port, or accept the default port values.
- If you have a node that you cannot start because of port conflicts,
change port assignments to nonconflicting ports in configuration files.
Use one of the following methods:
- Use the updatePorts tool to change port settings.
- Edit the profile_root/config/cells/cell_name/nodes/node_name/serverindex.xml file to change the port settings, or use scripting to change the values.
