installing WAS 6.1 specifically for RTC 2.0


Kevin Crocker (20185) | asked Aug 13 '09, 3:28 p.m.
Hi IBM Jazz Team,

I'm building a combo server (WAS 6.1 + RTC) from scratch - Red Hat Linux 5, AMD 86_x64, 4GB

I've installed WAS 6.1 ND with updates to 6.1.0.25 (including IBM JDK 1.5 SR9)

I'm now at the point where I need to create the profiles for WAS - I'd like to create a cell topology - but I remember reading somewhere (can't remember) that RTC uses a stand-alone topology.

Question: are there any issues with RTC if I create a cell topology in WAS 6.1?

To be direct, it is not supported.

Does it mean that it does not work ?
We don't know, we never tested it.

What we know is that it probably does not work unless we are very carefull
in setting up the cell so we do not have 2 Jazz server using the same
database or sharing the same cluster data. But again, we never tested it
and it is not supported by IBM.

Try the stand alone :)

Thanks a bunch for the response. At least I know now that this is
not officially supported, at the moment.

This said we are interested in your experience. Let us know how it goes.
We will try to help here as best effort

Christophe,

Thanks. Well, I guess we'll have a chance to test it out :-) I installed the
AppServer in a cell topology. At the moment, there's only one AppServer
in the topology - so we have time to figure it out before the need to expand
arrives. I created the cell topolgy because I knew that there is a need to
centrally manage a variety of AppServers - the servers likely will be
allocated to different application sets, thus I'm hoping there will be little
crossover or contention.

Thanks a bunch for the response. At least I know now that this is
not officially supported, at the moment.
