With the Release of Ibm Installation Manager 1.8.0 , IBM has added one more Mode for Installation/Un-Installation etc of Websphere Product viz the Web Based Mode
So we have the Following Modes in IIM 1.8:
1) Graphical Mode
2) Silent mode
3) Console Mode
4) Web Based Mode
I have downloaded 1.8.2 for Linux from IBM FIX central . Click HERE for the download
NOTE : Use this Mode ONLY if you have trouble accessing the other Modes . Ensure you have a Very Stable and High Speed Network to try this But I would not Recommend it
If there is any glitch in the network your installation may be in an inconsistent State Hence use Web Based as a Last Resort
Activity :
a) Install IIM 1.8.2
b) Start the ibmim-web Services from IIM
c) Access the IIM using browser
d) Change the port no of Ibmim-web
Steps :
1) Installation of IIM 1.8.2
a) Download IIM 1.8.2 from Fix Central
b) Extract the zip file in the server
c) Install IIM so run #./installc -acceptLicense
NOTE : I am installing IIM using root , but you could use any other user which has the rights to install IIM , In that case use userinstc
d) After the Installation of IIM 1.8 .2 Verify it using “#./imcl -version ”
2) Start the IIM Web Mode
The Modules needed to run the IIM Web is allready installed with the IIM 1.8.2 installation under /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/web/ibmim-web
a) To start the Webserver which will start the IIM Web Mode execute the “ibmim-web”
Its present in /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/web/ibmim-web
Once this command is run it will also prompt the url for accessing the web iim . Here in this case its http://10.0.0.03:9090/ibmim
b) You can run ibmim-web as background using “&”
#/opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/web/ibmim-web &
3) Verify the Process and the Ports
Check the Process and the Port no for ibmim-web using ps and netstat command
# ps -ef | grep ibmim
# netstat -ntlp | grep 9090
4) Access the browser to the url “http://10.0.0.03:9090/ibmim”
Note : Ensure that you have network connectivity from the desktop to the server you are connecting. Also check the proxy settings of the Browser
Navigate to the File options of the IIM
Uninstallation Option of IIM using the IIM Web Mode
In this way we can use the IIM Web Mode to Installation , Un-Installation etc etc for Websphere Products

Edit the ibmim-web.ini file to change the port no . This file is within the /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/web/ibmim
