Installing WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition for IBM AIX

You can use the IBM Workload Deployer to configure, provision, and activate the product.

Before you begin

To familiarize yourself with IBM® WebSphere® Application Server Hypervisor Edition, see the IBM WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition overview.

The pSeries® image requires 30 GB of free disk space. Refer to the IBM Workload Deployer documentation for important system infrastructure requirements.

The owner of all preinstalled IBM WebSphere software is the non-root operating system user named virtuser. To access the operating system environment, you must use the command-line interface through SSH. The x server package is not installed into the operating system. The image is packaged within a single open virtualization appliance (OVA). Only the IBM Workload Deployer can provision the image. For details on provisioning the image, refer to the IBM Workload Deployer documentation.
