Installing IBM Content Search Services interactively

You can install IBM® Content Search Services interactively by running the installation program. In a multiple-server configuration, run the installation program for each server you want to install.

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

To install IBM Content Search Services interactively:

  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 IBM Content Search Services values, filter by CSS Installer in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
  2. Log in to the host computer as the css_install_user.
  3. Access the IBM Content Search Services installation package and run the installation program.
    Table 1. Interactive installation commands
    Platform Command
    AIX® 5.0.0-CSS-AIX.BIN
    Solaris 5.0.0-CSS-SOL.BIN
    Linux® 32 bit 5.0.0-CSS-LINUX32.BIN
    Linux 64 bit 5.0.0-CSS-LINUX64.BIN
    Linux for System z® 5.0.0-CSS-ZLINUX.BIN
    Windows® 32 bit 5.0.0-CSS-WIN32.EXE
    Windows 64 bit 5.0.0-CSS-WIN64.EXE
  4. Complete the installation program screens by using the values in your Installation and Upgrade Worksheet.
  5. Review the css_install_path/css_install_5.0.0.log log file for installation errors.

    It is a best practice to review log files even if the IBM Content Search Services installation program does not generate any errors. Some errors noted in the log files are benign. If an error is not benign (that is, you cannot then index or search for documents), see the log file for help in determining the cause.

  6. After the installation completes, verify the IBM Content Search Services service is installed and has started.
  7. For multiple server configurations, repeat this procedure for every server that you want to install.
    Important:
    You must use a different server name and port for each additional server. If you use the same server name and port as a previously installed server, the new server installation overwrites the existing server.
