FileNet P8 Content Search Engine, Version 5.0.+            Operating systems:  AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris

Installing additional Autonomy K2 administration servers (UNIX)

You can install additional Autonomy K2 servers as part of a IBM® Legacy Content Search Engine configuration.

Be sure that you have available the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet that was completed during your planning activities.

To install interactively, X-Terminal must be installed on the UNIX® server.

Important: Most processes for the Autonomy K2 software will run as k2_os_user. However, the vspget process must run as root. For details on required accounts and related permissions, see Plan and Prepare Your Environment for IBM FileNet® P8.
  1. Open your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet file.
    Tip: In the worksheet file, verify that the Data > Filter > AutoFilter command is enabled. To view only Content Search Engine values, filter by CSE Installer in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
  2. Access the host machine and log on as a user with root privileges.
  3. Enter the following commands to set the setuid bit of the vspget program so that the service runs as root:
    chown root verity_install_path/k2/_platform/bin/vspget
    chmod u+s verity_install_path/k2/_platform/bin/vspget
    Replace _platform with the following directory.
    Table 1. Directory by platform
    Platform Directory
    HPUX _hpux
    AIX® _rs6k43
    Solaris _ssol26
    Linux® _ilnx21
  4. Log off the machine.
  5. Log on to the machine as k2_os_user.
  6. Set the following environment variable and place the entry in the .profile file for k2_os_user.
    JAVA_HOME=java_(JDK)_install_path/jdkversion
    export JAVA_HOME
  7. Access the IBM Legacy Content Search Engine installation package.
  8. In the .profile file for k2_os_user, set the PATH , SHLIB_PATH, LIBPATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables (depending on your operating system), each on its own line, without line breaks.
    Important: If your .profile file has a line containing set -u that appears before the lines involving PATH , SHLIB_PATH, LIBPATH, or LD_LIBRARY_PATH, you must do one of the following edits before setting the environment variables:
    • Remove the line containing set -u from the .profile file.
    • Move the line containing set -u to a point in the .profile file below the lines involving PATH, SHLIB_PATH, LIBPATH, or LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
    AIX
    PATH=$PATH:verity_install_path/k2/_rs6k43/bin
    export PATH
    LIBPATH=$LIBPATH:verity_install_path/k2/_rs6k43/bin
    export LIBPATH
    HP-UX
    PATH=$PATH:verity_install_path/k2/_hpux/bin
    export PATH
    SHLIB_PATH=$SHLIB_PATH:verity_install_path/k2/_hpux/bin
    export SHLIB_PATH
    Linux
    PATH=$PATH:verity_install_path/k2/_ilnx21/bin
    export PATH
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:verity_install_path/k2/_ilnx21/bin
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    Solaris
    PATH=$PATH:verity_install_path/k2/_ssol26/bin
    export PATH
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:verity_install_path/k2/_ssol26/bin
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  9. Start the installation interactively or silently:
