Installation targets

Use this page to add, edit, or remove an installation target, which is the workstation on which selected software packages might be installed. To either install or uninstall a package on a workstation, you must first define an installation target. By default, all nodes defined in the cell appear as an installation target. You can create a new installation target to install the middleware agent to the selected locations that do not have WebSphere Application Server installed. To access an installation target by using the Secure Shell (SSH) public/private key authentication method, use the Centralized Installation Manager to first install the SSH public key.

To view this administrative console page, click System administration > Centralized Installation Manager > Installation Targets.

All of the host names on which the nodes are running appear in the table automatically. Use this page to create additional installation targets located outside of the cell.
Button Resulting action
Add Installation Target Creates a new installation target.
Remove Installation Target Deletes an existing installation target from the populated table. To complete this action, you must first select a target from the list and click Remove Installation Target. A confirmation panel lists each target to remove. Click Remove to complete the action or click Cancel to return to the previous page.
Install SSH Public Key Installs a Secure Shell (SSH) public key on an existing installation target. The SSH public key is installed by using the Centralized Installation Manager. To launch the wizard, you must first select one or more existing targets from the list and click Install SSH Public Key.
Host name

Specifies the name of the target workstation on which the selected software package is installed.

SSH public key installed

Specifies whether there is a Secure Shell (SSH) public key installed on the installation target.

If you install the SSH public key outside of WebSphere Extended Deployment, the status of the SSH public key is displayed as not installed. You can use the updateKeyInstallationRecords AdminTask command to correctly display the status for any host, but you must still specify the administrative ID on this page to access the remote target.

User name

Specifies the administrative ID of the remote workstation on which the package is installed.
