Liberty Collective Installation Conventions

A Liberty collective is installed and configured following a standardized directory structure. The following list notes a few of the important settings. See /etc/virtualimage.properties for a full list of the settings.

  • IHS_HOME=/opt/IBM/WebSphere/HTTPServer
  • IHS_INSTALL_ROOT=/opt/IBM/WebSphere/HTTPServer
  • PLG_HOME=/opt/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins
  • PROFILES_HOME=/opt/IBM/WebSphere/Profiles
  • WLP_HOME=/opt/IBM/WebSphere/Liberty

Note:

  • Maintenance can be applied by using the Installation Manager{: new_window} installed in the /home/virtuser/IBM/Installation Manager directory. Since the underlying binaries are installed as virtuser, ensure that all fix packs and interim fixes are installed as virtuser.
  • Ensure that starting and stopping servers from the command line is performed as the WebSphere Administrative ID, not as virtuser
