Setting up the server

You can either share the CD drive on the server, or copy the installation images onto a disk and share the directory on that disk.

You can share a CD drive on Linux or UNIX with any other supported Linux or UNIX system, but not with Windows. You can share a Windows CD drive only with other Windows systems.

  1. If you want to share a copy of the installation image, create the copy:
    1. Create a directory on the server to store the installation images:
      Linux and UNIX
      Enter the following command:
      mkdir /instbroker
      where instbroker is the directory into which you copy the product files.
      Windows
      Enter the following command:
      md m:\instbroker
      where m is the drive on which you want to store the installation images and instbroker is the directory on that drive.

      If you are creating directories for the WebSphere® Message Broker Toolkit on Linux on x86, Linux on x86-64 or Windows, you must create all three disk subdirectories in the same directory, for example:

      /instbroker/disk1
      /instbroker/disk2
      /instbroker/disk3

      Where each subdirectory, for example disk1, is the root level of the corresponding CD image.

      This structure ensures that the installation program does not prompt for location, and does not fail because it cannot find the right images.

    2. Insert and mount the appropriate CD in the drive as described in Accessing CDs and DVDs on the local system. The installation programs for the runtime components and the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit are on separate CDs; insert the correct CD for the components that you want to install from this server.

      If you have inserted a runtime or toolkit CD on Windows and autorun is enabled, the Launchpad is started. When the initial window opens, click Cancel to close it.

    3. Copy the complete contents of the CD to the new directory.
      Linux and UNIX
      Enter the following command:
      cp -rf /cdrom/. /instbroker
      Windows
      Enter the following command:
      xcopy f:\*.* m:\instbroker /e
      where f is the CD drive.
  2. Grant users access to the drive that contains the product code. These instructions are the same for a disk drive on which you have copied the CD contents, and for the CD drive itself.
    AIX®
    Either type smit and click Communications Applications and Services > NFS > Network File System (NFS) > Add a Directory to Exports List, or enter the fast path command smitty mknfsexp. Complete the fields as appropriate and press Enter.
    HP-UX and Linux
    Use the exportfs command. The following example gives all users read-only access using NFS:
    exportfs -i -o ro /instbroker
    exportfs -a
    where /instbroker represents the CD drive or the directory that contains the CD copy.
    Solaris
    Use the share and exportfs commands. The following example gives all users read-only access using NFS:
    share -F nfs -o ro -d "Broker LAN server" /instbroker
    exportfs -a
    where "Broker LAN server" is an optional description and /instbroker represents the server CD drive or directory containing the CD copy.
    Windows
    Open Windows Explorer and right-click the drive that you want to share. Click Sharing and follow the instructions on the Properties dialog box.
