LSG
Classroom preparation process overview
Workstation setup overview

The following classroom setup instructions are separated into the following sections:

• Section . Preparing the base workstations: This section describes how to configure the physical (host) student machines with the proper operating system, network, and software settings.

• Section . Installing VMware Player: This section describes how to download, install, and configure VMware Player.




• Section . Installing the VMware images: Describes how to extract, load, and verify the virtual (guest) student computing environment. The guest system runs as a virtual computer on the physical, host system.

Note

If you need additional information on virtual machines, see “Appendix A. Introduction to virtual machines” on page 21 which provides an introduction to the concept of virtual machines and the VMware player application.

Preparing the base workstations

General lab environment information

The ideal lab environment is to have all student machines connected to the same LAN with TCP/IP correctly configured so that machines can connect to each other using their host names.

If no LAN adapter is available, the Microsoft Loopback Adapter should be configured as the default LAN adapter with a private TCP/IP address so that the TCP/IP stack will be active.

Refer to the Microsoft Knowledge Base for information on how to configure this option.

Operating system setup instructions

Ensure the operating system is set up correctly:

__ 1. Ensure the operating system listed in the software requirements section is installed.

__ 2. Ensure the local user account has sufficient administrator-level privileges to install the VMware Player application.

__ a. From the Windows Start menu, open Control Panel Administrative Tools Computer Management.

__ b. In the Computer Management console, expand Computer Management (Local) System Tools Local Users and Groups Users.




LSG
__ c. Double-click the user account that is currently logged in..
__ d. In the user properties window, switch to the Member Of tab.

__ e. Verify that the currently logged in user account is a member of an administrator-level user group.

__ f. Close the user properties window and the Computer Management console.

Note

Contact the computer network administrator to determine the user access rights available to students on each classroom computer. Most corporations enforce network domain policies to restrict access privileges on each individual desktop computer. You might have to request administrator-level access in order to install additional software on each computer.

Keep in mind that local administrator-level access will be overridden by group security policies on the domain controller.

For more information, review the Windows XP Professional product documentation on user accounts:

http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/usercpl_overview.mspx

The virtual machine itself represents a complete computer system: when you power on the virtual machine, it starts up a virtual computer with its own operating system. In effect, virtual machines allow you to operate two or more computers on a single computer workstation.

Virtual machines depend on a technology known as virtualization. Unlike emulation, where hardware components such as the video card or processor are mimicked by software, virtualization maps the actual hardware resources to the virtual machine environment. This scheme ensures a clean separation between the virtual machine and the real computing system, while retaining most of the speed of the application as if it were running natively on the actual computer system.

Virtual machines in the classroom

Virtual machines are ideal for quickly preparing a set of computer workstations with identical software configuration. Instead of completing a lengthy set of installation instructions, the classroom preparer only needs to extract a set of data files that define the virtual machine itself.

Running virtual machines with the VMware Player application

There are several companies that provide virtualization software. WebSphere Education (WE) is currently using VMware applications to create, manage, and run virtual machines in their classes.

To reduce the software licensing costs to business partners, WE’s courses use a free-of-charge solution, VMware Player. The only requirement placed upon the classroom preparer is the end-user license agreement for the VMware Player software. If the preparer does not agree to the EULA terms, contact the WebSphere Education engagement manager to discuss alternatives to the VMware application.

Additional requirements with VMware Player

In order to map the existing hardware devices to the virtual machine, the VMware Player application requires direct access to the system resources, such as the network adapter.

Listed below are common issues associated with running a classroom environment with virtual machines and VMware Player software.

• The student workstation needs to support two instances of the operating system, one for the physical (host) machine and one for the virtual machine (guest). Such a configuration places additional burden on memory and processor resources.

• The VMware Player application relies on custom network drivers. The classroom preparer must have administrator-level privileges within the Windows operating system in order to install the software.

• In bridged networking mode, a running copy of the virtual machine (guest) appears as a real computer on the network. Certain classrooms with strict computer network security policies might not allow unauthorized hosts to appear on the network.

If any of these issues arise during the lab setup process, contact the WebSphere Education engagement manager to discuss workarounds.

- SUSE SLES 10.2 - Host name was7host01 - Userid = root, password = web1sphere - Install DB2 WSE 9.5 - Configure DB2 to automatically start - Install Rational Application Developer 7.5 (Assembly and Deploy Tool) - Install ISA - Install labfiles (extract from compressed file) - Copy over WebSphere ND 7.0 CD - Copy over WebSphere ND 7.0 Supplemental CD #1 - Run DB setup scripts

Configuration information

The following describes the configurations of the student and lab set systems.

The ideal classroom configuration is to have all student machines connected to the same LAN with TCP/IP correctly configured so that machines can connect to each other using their host names. Internet access is recommended.

If no LAN adapter is available, the loopback adapter should be configured as the default LAN adapter with a private TCP/IP address so that the TCP/IP stack will be active.

Each student machine should be able to be used stand-alone and must have all of the products required for the labs installed locally.


This section lists the software needed to prepare the student lab environments. When preparing for a class, be sure to have the correct number of licensed copies of any non-IBM software.
