 1. Introduction
Description
This document provides a step-by-step walkthrough of the Rapid Installer (RI) installation for building an IBM
Control Desk 7.6.0.1 server, to prepare the system to the point where the QS 7.3 installation can start (using
the Migration Manager component) or to upgrade an existing QS 7.2.

Purpose
The primary purpose of this document is guide an installer through the installation, without having to have
an in-depth knowledge of RI.

Terms of Use
Rapid Installer uses technology that has been licensed from the Rapid Delivery Services (RDS) team for the
purpose of installing ISM components in support of the QuickStart solution. This is made available by the
Global ISM program and is free to use when used for this purpose.
ISM Rapid Installer is licensed to support QuickStart deployments ONLY. It is imperative that it is not used for
any other purpose. The consequences could be significant including all uses of the Installer, including for ICD
becoming chargeable, and not being compliant from an audit perspective.

PAGE 4
Audience
This guide in intended for users that install and maintain QuickStart stack. Although most of the tasks are
automated, it is required that users have at least basic skills described below
1) Linux/AIX OS skills
• users know how to create OS users and groups, assign users to multiple groups, creates
partitions and their mount points.
• How to use basic bash commands such as cp, scp, mv, rm, tail, vi, mkfs.*, mount, ln
2) DB2 skills
• user understands the difference between instance and the database
• Knows how to manually start/stop instance and perform basic SQL queries on the DB
3) LDAP skills
• user understands dependency between SDS and DB2
4) WebSphere skills
• user knows how to login to the WAS console and perform basic administration tasks
• start/stop JVM
• create a JVM
• generate WEB plugin
• configure JMS queues and LDAP authorization

Structure of this document

This document contains four chapters that describes Rapid Installer purpose, configuration and usage. At the
end of the documents we placed four appendixes that contains practical information about the configuration.
Chapter 1 – Introduction, explains what is the purpose of that documentation and what is Rapid Installer
generally. There is also a description who should read it and what are minimal knowledge requirements for
the users. At the end of the chapter there is a section how to troubleshoot installation issues.
Chapter 2 – Explains Rapid Installer main functions and supported solutions. One can find detailed description
of supported architectures and upgrade paths for existing environment.
Chapter 3 – This chapter contains list of all requirements for the platform. At the beginning of the chapter
we put a list of OS level requirements and a description of the new function that can automate those tasks.
Further in this chapter one can find a list of external software repositories that support software installation
packages. At the end of the chapter we described platform requirements for each middleware piece.
Chapter 4 – Steps. General description how to configure Rapid Installer and brief description of each RI step.
For each step, we described its purpose, required files, configuration and what is the output of it.
Appendix A: RI-Values – description of each RI property with its default value.
Appendix B: SPiN manual – short manual for the tool.
Appendix C: Required software packages – list of all required files from external repositories.
Appendix D: Paths for all required installation packages.

Troubleshooting
Although authors of the Rapid Installer put a huge effort in making the tool easy to use and prone to errors,
it wasn't possible to make it resistant to wrong configuration. In a need of debugging checking RI report logs
file should be always point of start.
Each RI step writes it output into separate log file placed in /usr/spin/spinPackage/custom-spin/reports
Additionally, each middleware piece has its own log files. Below we present a list of the most important log
files for them:
DB2: db2diag
Security Directory Server: /usr/IBM/ldap/idsslapd-ldapusr/logs
WebSphere Application Server: /usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/<profile_name>/logs
IBM Control Desk: /usr/IBM/SMP/ConfigTools/logs/

 2. What Rapid Installer can and can’t do
How to use Rapid Installer
Rapid Installer is a SPiN framework based tool. It was designed to automate ICD stack installation. That
automation was implemented in a set of atomic steps. Each step is responsible for installation or configuration
one of the stack piece.
Complete list of steps with detailed description if available on chapter 4. At the end of the document - in
Appendix B we published short SPiN manual.

Supported architectures
Rapid Installer supports two main architectures. Tiny and Cluster.
Regardless of the scenario all values and infrastructure information is kept in the configuration file: RI-
Values.props.
Situation when all components are installed on a single machine is called Tiny installation.
Cluster environment contains two or more hosts. In such situation, it is mandatory that hosts can communicate
each other and can resolve hostnames either locally or by DNS system.

Scenario 1:
Server1 – Installed DB2, SDS, Dmgr, Node and IHS

Scenario 2:
Server1 - Installed DB2 and SDS
Server2 - Installed WAS with Dmgr, Node1 and IHS1
Server3 - Installed WAS with Node2 and IHS2

PAGE 7
Technical introduction to WAS-current-node variable and technical details for both
architectures.
WAS-current-node variable has been designed to implement architecture as a code in RI-Values.props file.
It is done once, while the Rapid installer is being run on different nodes which are part of the
infrastructure/environment. It allows to have consistent settings while copying Rapid Installer between
different host. The only settings which changes is WAS-current-node. Rest of the JVM blocks shouldn't be
modified.
By default, block with "Node1" part, looks like below:
WAS-node-jvms-Node1-UI=0
WAS-node-jvms-Node1-INT=0
WAS-node-jvms-Node1-CRON=0
WAS-node-jvms-Node1-BROS=0
WAS-node-jvms-Node1-Tiny=1

This configuration should be read in this way:

On Node1:
- 1 Tiny JVM will be installed
- 0 UI, INT, CRON and BROS JVMs will be configured.

Such structure allows to design infrastructure before starting installation on all nodes.
For instance, if it's required, just copy and paste last block and change the "Node" part in variable names.

If we would like to create configuration for node 2 it would be as follows:

WAS-node-jvms-Node2-UI=2
WAS-node-jvms-Node2-INT=2
WAS-node-jvms-Node2-CRON=1
WAS-node-jvms-Node2-BROS=1
WAS-node-jvms-Node2-Tiny=0

When launching RI-Step08-WebSphere-Configure-Maximo step on Node2 and changing WAS-current-node

value to "Node2", application servers will be created on second node.
In above example 2 UI and INT servers would be created. 1 CRON and BROS server. No Tiny server will be
created.

Example for third node might be as follows:

WAS-node-jvms-Node3-UI=1
WAS-node-jvms-Node3-INT=1
WAS-node-jvms-Node3-CRON=0
WAS-node-jvms-Node3-BROS=0
WAS-node-jvms-Node3-Tiny=0

Please note that if we choose tiny configuration only WAS-node-jvms-Node1-Tiny should be set.
If we decide to create cluster environment UI, INT, CRON, BROS variables should be considered. It is not
mandatory to create all types of application server on node.

IMPORTANT: Either set Tiny variable or rest of variables.

PAGE 8
Figure 1

Tiny environment
Let's assume that we are installing all components on a server which has hostname tiny.local
Proper parts of the configuration file are shown below:
WAS-dmgr-name=Dmgr
WAS-dmgr-node-name=maximo-dmgr
WAS-dmgr-cell-name=maximo-dmgr
WAS-node-cell-name=maximo-node
WAS-dmgr-hostname=tiny.local
WAS-dmgr-port=9043

#WAS profile name and reference to node settings below

#Possbile values for WAS-current-node are Node1, Node2 etc.
WAS-current-node=Node1

#JVMs for Node1

WAS-node-jvms-Node1-UI=0
WAS-node-jvms-Node1-INT=0
WAS-node-jvms-Node1-CRON=0
WAS-node-jvms-Node1-BROS=0
WAS-node-jvms-Node1-Tiny=1

#Profile name for Node 1

WAS-Node1-name=Maximo
WAS-Node1-node-name=maximo-${WAS-Node1-name}-${WAS-Node1-hostname}
WAS-Node1-hostname=tiny.local

For overview please look on the image below:

Figure 2

PAGE 10
Cluster Environment
Let's consider "Scenario 2" from first part of this chapter.

Scenario 2:
Server1 - Installed DB2 and SDS
Server2 - Installed WAS with Dmgr, Node1 and IHS1
Server3 - Installed WAS with Node2 and IHS2

In such case let's assume Server2 has hostname server-A.local. Server3 hostname is server-B.local.
RI-Values configuration file on Server2 would be as follows:
WAS-dmgr-name=Dmgr
WAS-dmgr-node-name=maximo-dmgr
WAS-dmgr-cell-name=maximo-dmgr
WAS-node-cell-name=maximo-node
WAS-dmgr-hostname=server-A.local
WAS-dmgr-port=9043

#Possbile values for WAS-current-node are Node1, Node2 etc.

WAS-current-node=Node1

#Clusters names
WAS-cluster-UI-name=MXCluster
WAS-cluster-INT-name=INTCluster
WAS-cluster-CRON-name=CronCluster
WAS-cluster-BROS-name=BROSCluster

#JVMs name templates

WAS-jvm-UI=UIServer
WAS-jvm-INT=IntServer
WAS-jvm-CRON=CronServer
WAS-jvm-BROS=BrosServer
WAS-jvm-Tiny=MXServer

### Node 1 section

#JVMs for Node1

WAS-node-jvms-Node1-UI=2
WAS-node-jvms-Node1-INT=2
WAS-node-jvms-Node1-CRON=0
WAS-node-jvms-Node1-BROS=1
WAS-node-jvms-Node1-Tiny=0

#Profile name for Node 1

WAS-Node1-name=Maximo
WAS-Node1-node-name=maximo-${WAS-Node1-name}-${WAS-Node1-hostname}
WAS-Node1-hostname=server-A.local

PAGE 11
Now we can launch RI-Step08-WebSphere-Configure-Maximo step on Server2 and wait till it finishes
configuration.
For reference please look on the image below:

Figure 3
Please note that both configurations must be in the same file.
For readability, RI-Values.props configuration section has been shown only for WAS-current-node and suitable
Node2 section.

RI-Values.props configuration file on Sserver3 would be as follows:

#Possible values for WAS-current-node are Node1, Node2 etc.
WAS-current-node=Node2

PAGE 12
 ### Node 2 section ###

#JVMs for Node2

WAS-node-jvms-Node2-UI=3
WAS-node-jvms-Node2-INT=0
WAS-node-jvms-Node2-CRON=1
WAS-node-jvms-Node2-BROS=0
WAS-node-jvms-Node2-Tiny=0

#Profile name for Node 2

WAS-Node2-name=Maximo
WAS-Node2-node-name=maximo-${WAS-Node2-name}-${WAS-Node2-hostname}
WAS-Node2-hostname=server-B.local

After making sure that WAS-current-node variable has been changed to Node2 and configuration is properly
set, we can launch RI-Step08-WebSphere-Configure-Maximo step on Server3 and wait till it finishes
configuration.

 3. Requirements
Auto configuration
In previous RI versions, it was required to create directories, users and groups manually by the user. In this
version, we developed new feature that can automate those tasks. By default, feature is enabled and fulfills
those requirements based on the configuration provided in RI-Values.props file.
Feature can be disabled be setting flag RI-create-missing-os-configuration to false.

OS requirements
Rapid Installer has been tested on AIX 7.1 and Red Hat 7.3. All Rapid Installer tasks must be run as root user
and requires Java JRE in version 1.7 or higher.
The user IDs, Groups, and directories described in this document follow the standards used by the QuickStart
team when building systems for ICD. Where there is a requirement to vary from these, for example to meet
local support team requirements, this can be accomplished by setting up the appropriate groups and
directories and configuring the property files accordingly.

QuickStart best practices

Diamond Team created a DB2 best practices document that describes recommended DB2 configuration. It
was designed to meet IBM ITCS security standards and guideline delivered by Tivoli team. Rapid Installer was
created in line with that document. However, if you want to increase database security or improve database
performance it is recommend to download and follow instructions placed in the QS Best Practices guide. To
get the documentation follow those steps:
1. Log in into diamond instance https://diamond.extnet.ibm.com/maximo/ui/login
3 Go to Self Service -> Self Service Center
2. In search panel type "db2 practices"
3. In results select DB2 Best Practices
4. Click order now on right side
5. Click Show Details
6. Link to documentation is available from the SR's attachments

PAGE 17
 4. Steps
Rapid Installer configuration
Although Rapid Installer comes with a default configuration it is highly recommended to carefully check if
default values can be applied on a target infrastructure.
Whole RI configuration is kept in a single file:
spinPackage/custom-properties/RI-Values.props
Each installation step is described below with a list of required files and properties. In Appendix A we described
all configuration properties used by RI.

Installation Steps
Rapid Installer is divided into several steps where each step is divided into sub-steps. This structure allows to
gather activities in smaller pieces which are logically consistent. After launching main menu list of available
steps is being displayed. They are numbered and ordered in a typical scenario flow.
IMPORTANT: Some steps can be launched only once. Running some steps several times might corrupt the
environment.
IMPORTANT: It is not required to always run all steps – please refer to the supported upgrade paths chapter.

configuration for node2 variable
would look like this:
WAS-Node2-name=Maximo

WAS-Node1-node-name ${WAS-Node1-name}-${WAS- This variable defines the node

Node1-hostname} name which will be configured
and federated with Dmgr. In
similar manner, as before "Node1"
must be replaced with proper
value. For instance, when making
configuration for node2 variable
would look like this:
WAS-Node2-node-name=maximo-
${WAS-Node2-name}-${WAS-
Node2-hostname}

WAS-Node1-hostname node1.local This variable determines the

hostname on which we are
running Rapid Installer. Like in
previous cases it must be FQDN or
locally resolved name. Also,
communication between Dmgr
and this node must be present. In
similar way as previously when
configuring it for next node
"Node1" has to be replaced with
proper node. For instance, when
making configuration for node2
variable would look like this:
WAS-Node2-
hostname=node2.local
Please notice that "Node1" has
been changed to "Node2". Value
has been adjusted to situation and
value is node2.local

Output This setup requires to launch Rapid Installer on each server one by one. For detailed
information of this step please look on paragraph "Supported architecture".

First action which is required to launch RI® is installing Java® Runtime Environment. Currently the minimum
version of the JRE is 1.7.
When Java® is successfully installed, download, and unpack RI zip file. Standard path for the RI is /usr/spin
Change your path to newly created folder and invoke command ./menu.sh – then you should see RI main
menu
#> cd /usr/spin/spinPackage

1 - Check run

PAGE 42
 2 - list files to unpack
3 - run Spin
4 - Display current step name in checkpoint file
5 - Set step name in checkpoint file
6 - Clear checkpoint file
r - Reload file(s)
p - previous menu
x - exit

There is some useful information on the header of the each step:

• cwd – current working directory. It tells where the SPiN® is located.
• Report file – location of the report file. It contains full output for each step.
At the bottom of the screen there is a menu that allows to control SPiN®:
1. Check run – basic configuration validation
2. List files to unpack – shows a list of required files
3. Run Spin – executes the sub step
4. Display current step name in checkpoint file – prints the checkpoint – latest sub step that was
finished successfully
5. Set step name in checkpoint file – Allows to manually set the checkpoint
6. Clear checkpoint file – Clear the checkpoint which – useful in case of a need to restart the step from
the beginning
7. Reload file(s) – Reloads property files and clears last error message
8. Previous menu – Back to the main menu
9. Exit – exits SPiN®
Important: Some steps such as profile creation or ICD configuration should be run once. Repeating those
steps several times might cause configuration failure.
Activities which are logically consistent are gathered into a single step.
For instance, all required actions which are needed to install IBM DB2 Server® are gathered into “custom-
spin/RI-Step01-DB2-Install.props”. After successfully completing this step thus db2 engine is installed on the
machine.
Checkpoint are files which store information regarding last executed sub step of the main step.
For instance, if step 1 ("custom-spin/RI-Step01-DB2-Install.props") was chosen, checkpoint might indicate
that the last step which was executed is:
"Last executed step is db2-600-prepare-files-check.
Spin file: custom-spin/RI-Step01-DB2-Install.props".
Also, information regarding the file location is displayed. In a given example it is:
"Report file: custom-spin/report/RI-Step01-DB2-Install-111f49449eac-report-20170510-Wed-12-18-23.txt"
