Step 1:
sudo vi /etc/hosts
Ensure it has an entry for IP to hostname lookup
E.g. I have following entry on my system
192.168.0.111 hari-centos-vm localhost
Step 2: Create a non root user for managing WAS
$groupadd wasuser
$useradd -g wasuser -G nobody -d /home/wasuser wasuser
Add newly create wasuser to sudo list, this way we can sudo root commands as wasuser
Edit sudoer file as follows
$sudo visudo
Add following line towards the end of the file
wasuser ALL=(ALL)NOPASSWD: ALL
Change ownership of the installation folder to wasuser
$ sudo chown -R wasuser:wasuser /opt/IBM/WebSphere/
$ sudo chown -R wasuser:nobody /opt/IBM/HTTPServer/
Step 3:
Login to system as wasuser
You may either use a graphical or silent installation mode, following steps are for silent mode.
We will first create an input file "responsefile.nd.txt" for silent mode with following values.
This configuration creates two profiles DMGR and another with a managed node, the managed node is federated into the cell.
-OPT silentInstallLicenseAcceptance="true"
-OPT disableOSPrereqChecking="true"
-OPT installType="installNew"
-OPT profileType="none"
-OPT disableOSPrereqChecking="true"
-OPT checkFilePermissions="true"
-OPT allowNonRootSilentInstall="true"
-OPT feature=”noFeature”
-OPT disableNonBlockingPrereqChecking="true"
-OPT installLocation="/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer"
-OPT PROF_enableAdminSecurity="false"
-OPT cimSelected="true"
$./install -options "responsefile.nd.txt" -silent
Validate log files at following location
$tail -100f /home/wasuser/waslogs/log.txt
Last line in the log file should indicate a SUCCESS message as follows
(Dec 24, 2012 7:43:53 PM), Process, com.ibm.ws.install.ni.ismp.actions.ISMPLogSuccessMessageAction, msg1, INSTCONFSUCCESS
Step 4:
Apply WAS fixpack 7.0.0.25
Important: While running update installer Switch user as root
Download and copy the WAS 7.0.0.25 fix pack to
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/UpdateInstaller/maintenance
Run update installer and select the 7.0.0.25 pack file to install the fix pack
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/UpdateInstaller/update.sh
Step 5:
sudo vi /etc/hosts
Ensure it has an entry for IP to hostname lookup
E.g. I have following entry on my system
192.168.0.111 hari-centos-vm localhost

Run update installer and select the 7.0.0.25 pack file to install the fix pack
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/UpdateInstaller/update.sh
Step 5:
Run versioninfo command to validate if fix pack was applied properly.
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/versioninfo.sh
You should see something similar towards the end of versioninfo.sh command output.
Installed Product
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name IBM WebSphere Application Server - ND
Version 7.0.0.25
ID ND
Build Level cf251235.04
Build Date 8/30/12
Architecture Intel (32 bit)
Step 6:
We should be all set to launch the DMGR server now, start the server as wasuser created in step 2
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/Dmgr01/bin/startManager.sh
Validate by logging on to WAS admin console
Start the server1 nodeagent as follows
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/bin/startNode.sh
Now we should be able to control server1 from DMGR, try to start and stop the server from DMGR WAS Admin Console
