Setting up the target system

Set up a target system to access CDs and DVDs from a server.

  1. On Linux and UNIX systems, create a new directory on which to mount the shared directory. Enter the following command:
    mkdir /remotebroker
    where remotebroker is the name of the new directory.
  2. Access the remote directory:
    Linux and UNIX
    Enter the following command:
    mount server name:instbroker /remotebroker
    where server name is the name of the server on which you created the CD or DVD copy.
    Windows
    Connect to the appropriate drive and folder by using the net use command at a command prompt on the target system, for example:
    net use x: \\server_name\instbroker
    where x: is the required mapped drive on the target system.

    If your shared installation directory name contains spaces (for example, Broker Image), enclose it in double quotation marks.

    If your server is protected, you might need to specify a user ID and password on this command (see the Windows online help for more information about the net use command). Alternatively, use Windows Explorer or an alternative method to map the shared resource to a drive letter.

    You cannot enter a UNC path (\\server\drive) to access the installation program; you must map the drive, as shown, otherwise the Java™ process times out. If you cannot map the drive, or choose not to map the drive, copy the contents of the DVD onto a local drive and install from that drive. In addition, you cannot enter a UNC path when the installation wizard requests a path as input; the wizard cannot interpret a UNC path.

  3. Change to the remote image directory. You are now ready to run the Launchpad (on Windows only) or the installation wizard to install the product from the remote directory to your local system.
