Installing the WebSphere 7.0 directly from an Machine (Not Recommended)

To install the WebSphere 7.0 directly from an IBM i machine:

1. Insert the WebSphere Application Server in the CD-ROM drive on the IBM i machine.

2. Start the QSHELL environment using these commands on the IBM i console:

   strqsh

   cd /QOPT/WebSphere/WAS

   Note: Navigation through the directories is not case-sensitive.

3. Start the installation by entering the following command:

   Setup -console

4. Replace the installation path or accept this default path:

   /QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/AppServer/V7/ND

5. Select the components to install.

6. Review the summary page and enter [1] to start the install.

   Do not exit the Qshell session or signoff until the installation process is complete.

   When the message INSTCONFSUCCESS is displayed, the install process is complete.

   Tip: The installation process can take a while to complete and the time taken is dependent on the sizing of your IBM i hardware.
