Application server = tomcat

Solution

  • You have not mentioned if you will be installing MFP v8 on WAS ND or Liberty or Tomcat.Since you mention a cluster I am assuming this is WAS ND or Liberty Farm collective.

    Good amount of the steps are the same, with only minor changes to the configuration you select.

    Essentially the steps are:

    • Running IBM Installation Manager IBM Installation Manager installs the IBM MobileFirst Platform Server files and tools on your computer.
    • Setting up databases Set up the database to be used by MobileFirst Server components.
    • Choosing your topologies and network flows Topics about possible server topologies for MobileFirst Server components and the network flows.
    • Installing MobileFirst Server to an application server

    More details here.

    To install MFP you can chose either :

    To set it up as a cluster, you first configure the WAS ND Cluster or Liberty Collective and then chose that as your deployment option using SCT or Ant scripts.
