Building WebSphere Portal 7 Cluster Environment with two horizontal portal nodes ( Installation and configuration of WP7, TDS v6.2, DB2 v9.7 , IBM HTTP Server v7)


Simply followed WP v7 Cluster guide (Link provided in references section) published by IBM L2 team, but there are few deviations/additions like below as per my requirements

  1. Portal DB transfer :: I have transferred all schemas to single database instance (Where as in IBM Cluster Guide,  explains transferring it to different database instances)
  2. DMGR profile creation :: As 64-bit operating systems doesn't support the profile management tool wizard , had to execute commands (Where as in IBM Cluster Guide, uses the wizard to create the DMGR profile)
  3. WAS ND installation for DMGR :: I have used the WAS ND deployed as part of the portal install (Where as in IBM Cluster Guide, remote installation of WAS ND is explained)
  4. Adding the Federated LDAP repositories :: Used WAS console to add the federated LDAP (Where as in IBM Cluster Guide, explains commands to create the repository)
  5. DB2 Installation and configuration for the websphere Portal 
  6. TDS installation and configuration for Websphere Portal
