Installing over a network on HP-UX

To perform a remote installation, you need to carry out some tasks on the server machine, and on the target (remote) machine.

Setting up the server machine

Carry out the following on the server machine:

  1. Create a directory to store the installation files. For example:
    mkdir /instwmqi
  2. Copy the complete contents of the CD to the new directory. For example:
    cp -rf /cdrom/wmqi_hpux/. /instwmqi
  3. Give all licensed users access to the directory that now contains the CD image.
  4. Make the directory shareable using the exportfs command. The example below gives all users read-only access using NFS:
    exportfs -i -o ro /instwmqi
    exportfs -a

Setting up the target machine

Carry out the following on the target machine:

  1. Create a directory to mount the shared filesystem. For example:
    mkdir /remotewmqiimage
  2. At the command prompt, connect to the new directory using the mount command:
    mount <machine name>:/instwmqi /remotewmqiimage
    where <machine name> is the name of the target machine.
  3. Change to the remote image directory, for example remotewmqiimage.
  4. Enter:
    ./mqsilicense [-text_only]
    to display the product license agreement, where [-text_only] optionally displays the license agreement in text mode. By default, the license agreement is displayed in a graphical user interface.
  5. Select the appropriate number for your language.
  6. Read the license agreement, then press 1 to accept it, or 2 to decline it. You cannot continue with the installation until you have read and accepted the license agreement.
  7. Enter:
    swinstall -s <remotewmqiimage> WMQI
  8. Press the Enter key, then follow the installation prompts.
  9. When you have successfully installed WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker, you must then run the mqsisetcapacity command for licensing purposes.
