How to Get Started with IBM WebSphere Application Server on Solaris 10 and Zones

Short Description
This document describes how IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) V6.0.2 or newer can be installed and configured on the Sun Solaris 10 Operating System in the global and non-global zones. Since product documentation already exists for WAS planning, installation and deployment from IBM, we do not repeat such information and only the important step-by-step guidelines for Solaris 10 and Zones are summarized here. We list and provide links to the existing documentation in the “Additional Resources” section.

Multi-Tier web applications are a prime driver of server sprawls in the data center generated by the typical affinity between applications and dedicated physical servers. Web and Application Servers, like IBM WebSphere, comprise a large majority of these installs. The server sprawls drive up operational costs due to real estate, air conditioning, and energy consumption. Server consolidation can reduce such operational costs while improving utilization, security, manageability and efficiency in data center operations. It can be accomplished with Solaris Container technologies and a new generation of high performance and power efficient Sun’s server products.

In this environment, the Web Server is configured on the public network, while the WebSphere application environment is on a separate private network for security. The communication between the Web Server and the WebSphere environment is achieved by the Web Server plugin. In the next section, we provide the basic steps needed to consolidate these services to one physical server using Solaris Zone. Additional topics on Solaris Containers, Resource Control, and Workload Management can be found in the references section.
