installing WebSphere Application Server v8.5.5 by using the imcl command on Linux(WebSphere Jungle) -- Real-time method

Follow  the steps to install IBM WebSphere Application Server v8.5.5 by using the imcl command on Linux  :

             
Note : It is one of the way to install WASv8.5.5 in comapines.

1.Download  IBM WebSphere Application Server  version 8.5  trial package from IBM website. This software  comes with 3 disks like
                                 was.repo.8550.ndtrial_part1.zip
                                 was.repo.8550.ndtrial_part2.zip
                                 was.repo.8550.ndtrial_part3.zip

Note:
                                Silent installation cannot install packages that are contained different disks.
                 ex:
                       here I use WAS 8.5.5.0 trail version. It comes 3 different disks.
                       First we need to unzip these 3 zip files. It will be created 3 different folders like
                        was.repo.8550.ndtrial_part1
                        was.repo.8550.ndtrial_part2
                        was.repo.8550.ndtrial_part3

Then we merge these 3 folders into one folder like "was.repo.8550.ndtrial".
2.Before installing  IBM WebSphere Application Server  version 8.5  trial package. You need to download & install Installation Manager(IM) in your box(system) from IBM website.
                           If u want steps for installation of Installation Manager(IM)(Real time)  u can verify my previous article.
         
3.open putty to connect server
    Need to provide IP address to connect the server

4.Unzip the package zip files using unzip command.
     ex:
           $unzip was.repo.8550.ndtrial_part1.zip
   $unzip was.repo.8550.ndtrial_part2.zip
   $unzip was.repo.8550.ndtrial_part3.zip

5.Merge 3 folders into single folder.
       ex: Provide same folder name as "was.repo.8550.ndtrial" to 3 folders. Then it'll become single folder.

6.Go to Installation Manager directory.
    cd /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/tools

7.Execute the below command

./imcl install com.ibm.websphere.ND.v85_8.5.5000.20130514_1044,core.feature,ejbdeploy,com.ibm.sdk.6_64bit -repositories /tmp/was.repo.8550.ndtrial/repository.config -installationDirectory /opt/IBM/WebSphere85/AppServer -sharedResourcesDirectory /opt/IBM/IMShared -acceptLicense -log /tmp/WAS8.5_install.log -showProgress

Details of command :
com.ibm.websphere.ND.v85_8.5.5000.20130514_1044 - Package Name (It may different in your package. Please check the package name as per your binaries)
        core.feature,ejbdeploy,com.ibm.sdk.6_64bit - It'll install sdk 64 bit and default features.
