Re: WAS 9.0 on PowerHA

Hi,

we are running WAS on IASP with PowerHA : our trick is to have a virtual
link to the IASP
the directory /QIBM/UserData/Websphere/AppServer/Base/Profiles is a
virtual link to /IASP/QIBM/UserData/Websphere/AppServer/base/Profiles
when we switch the IASP to the secondary Node, the WAS instances
configuration are also switched...

On other LPARS, we also use high availability WAS cluster configured with
WAS ND using load balancing on 2 nodes /4 servers... but that is another
configuration using Power HA and WAS ND.

Hi everyone!

Just curious, do many of you run WebSphere Application Server instances
on PowerHA nodes?

I've read a few white papers where IBM recommends doing the install
from the command line and setting the default profile directory to the
iASP, but I was wondering, does anyone here know how to set it up so that
the default profile directory stays in the normal location, and to
manually create a single specific profile that lives on the iASP? If
that's possible, how do you make the 2nd PowerHA node aware of the WAS
profile?


Many thanks!
