So in our last chapter, we saw how we created an EC2 instance on the amazon ec2 service.
Agenda for this tutorial will be to get the instance ready and install IBM Maximo middleware components on it.
Lets get started.
Connect to EC2 Instance
To connect to instance we will navigate to ec2 console and see if our instance is created.
Click on connect.
Download the remote desktop file and use the username and password by clicking the get password.It will take you to key pair screen and you need to specify the mykey pair we used in earlier tutorial.
Now click on decrypt password and you will see RDP password to connect to this instance.
Now you have all three:
- Instance URL
- Username
- Password
Also download the RDP file and use that to quick start the RDP session.
My instance is ready, lets start moving Maximo stuff to this instance.
So download the FTP Server on the Windows instance on EC2
https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=server
and FTP client for your local system from where we will publish the install artifacts.
* Another option is to use cloud drive or directly download from IBM passport advantage if you are trying to setup all together a new instance.
If you face problems during setup of FTP server on Windows 2008 Server on AWS, please refer this troubleshooting section explained here.
Ok so after referring to above doc, we are assuming you have ftp client ready to send your installs to the AWS platform.
Try to zip your folders at ULTA compression to transfer them , it will speed up the transfer.
So lets go ahead and see our install folders on the EC2 instance, where our main Maximo instance will run.
Now our WebSphere installable is available there, I bundled in same file to make the transfer faster, I will extract it once it is transferred to EC2 instance.
In the next part of this series, we will see how to installation of Maximo will be done on the AWS instance.
