3.2.1 Modes of installing the WebSphere Network Deployment software

You can install the WebSphere Network Deployment software in one of the following ways:

  • Choose None on the WebSphere Application Server Environments screen to install the WebSphere Network Deployment Software without creating any profiles. Later, you can create a Deployment Manager or application server profile using the manageprofiles script. See 3.3.1 Creating WebSphere profiles.

  • Choose Application server on the WebSphere Application Server Environments screen to install the WebSphere Network Deployment software along with a single application server profile.

  • Choose Management on the WebSphere Application Server Environments screen to install the WebSphere Network Deployment software along with the Deployment Manager profile.

  • Select the Cell (Deployment Manager and a Managed Node) option on the WebSphere Application Server Environments screen to install the WebSphere Network Deployment software along with a cell that includes a Deployment Manager and a managed node application server profile.

    Selecting this option during installation saves the effort of manually creating the profiles later.

For more information about installing WebSphere Application Server software, see this WebSphere Application Server site.

Note: While installing the WebSphere Network Deployment software on nodes where you want to host only the application server, choose the Application server option on the WebSphere Application Server Environments screen.
Note: You can use the manageprofiles script to create Deployment Manager or application server profiles any time after installing WebSphere Network Deployment software in one of the above ways.
