A system administrator needs to install WebSphere Application Server using response files, so that a silent install can be done. The administrator has ensured that all required prerequisites have already been installed and, has downloaded and expanded the required WebSphere Application Server installation files.
What can the administrator run to install the product?
Example of the use of the response files to install the product.
imcl.exe -acceptLicense
input C:\temp\keyring_response_file.xml
-log C:\temp\keyring_log.xml

A web application was deployed on a WebSphere Application Server cluster. While users are using the application, one of the cluster servers fails and the users lose their working data.
What can the system administrator configure to ensure users can continue to work if one of the cluster server fails?
WebSphere eXtreme Scale can dynamically process, partition, replicate, and manage application data and business logic across hundreds of servers. It provides transactional integrity and transparent fail-over to ensure high availability, high reliability, and consistent response times.

The installation of WebSphere Application Server did not complete successfully, and a system administrator needs to troubleshoot the installation.
What can the administrator do to identify the cause of the installation failure?
Installation Manager creates log files that you can use to troubleshoot any installation problems. Consider verifying the log files after any installation to ensure that everything in that process went successfully.
To examine the logs manually, locate the Installation Manager logs directory. The default location for this directory varies according to the operating system:
Windows: C:\ProgramData\IBM\Installation Manager\logs
UNIX: /var/ibm/InstallationManager/logs

A system administrator has created a cluster containing two servers in a same node. The administrator did not select the option Generate unique HTTP ports during the creation of the cluster members. After the cluster creation, the administrator changed the HTTP port of the second cluster member to 9081.
Testing the servers using the snoop servlet directly to the server's HTTP port, the administrator got the following error message for the second server:
How can the administrator fix this problem?
Problem(Abstract)
SRVE0255E: A WebGroup/Virtual Host to handle /p2pd/servlet/dispatch has not been defined.
Symptom
Unable to start IBM Cognos Business Intelligence
Cause
The virtual host does not contain IBM WebSphere Port that the Application server is listening on. This may be one of several reasons.

While monitoring a cluster in the cell, the administrator notices that one server in the cluster periodically loses connections to the database. When this happens, requests to the server have a significantly decreased response time and various error conditions are listed in the log files for the server. Since the error codes are returned quickly, the server starts returning responses faster than the average service times for the application. Due to this, the weight for the server is increased and a large percentage of incoming requests are being routed to the erroneous server and the server is getting overloaded with requests.
How can the administrator detect these conditions in the future and take action to prevent this problem?
Storm drain condition tracks requests that have a significantly decreased response time. This policy relies on change point detection on given time series data.
