To perform a remote installation, you need to carry out some tasks
on the server, and on the target (remote) computer.
Setting up the server
Carry out the following steps on the server:
Create a directory to store the installation files. For example:
mkdir /instwmqi
Copy the complete contents of the CD to the new directory. For
example:
cp-rf /cdrom/wmqi
Use the share command
to grant all licensed users access to the directory containing the CD image.
For example, to give all users read-only access using NFS:
share-F nfs -o ro -d "WebSphere
Business Integration Event Broker Lan install"
/instwmqi exportfs -a
Setting up the target computer
Carry out the following steps on the target computer:
Create a directory to mount the shared filesystem. For example:
mkdir /remotewmqiimage
From a command prompt on the target computer, mount the remote
directory, for example:
mount<machine name>:/instwmqi /remotewmqiimage
where <machine name> is the name of the target
computer.
Change to the remote image directory, for example remotewmqiimage.
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.
Select the appropriate number for your language.
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.
Enter:
pkgadd-d<package_name>
where <package_name> is either wmqi or wmqi-docs
Press the Enter key, then follow the installation
prompts.
When you have successfully installed WebSphere
Business Integration Event Broker,
you must then run the mqsisetcapacity command for
licensing purposes.
