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
You need to make the WebSphere
Business Integration Event Broker installation
files accessible on a remote server. To do this, choose one of the following
methods:
Make the WebSphere
Business Integration Event Broker CD-ROM drive shareable.
Or, copy the product files from the CD to the server by following these
steps:
Create a directory on the server to store the installation files.
For example:
mkdir /instwmqi
Mount the WebSphere
Business Integration Event Broker CD.
Copy the complete contents of the CD to the new directory. For
example:
cp-rf /cdrom. /instwmqi
Give all licensed users access to the directory that now contains
the CD-ROM image.
Export the directory as follows:
Type smit
Select: Communications Applications
and Services > NFS > Network File
System (NFS) > Add a Directory to Exports List. Alternatively, use the fastpath command smitty mknfsexp.
Complete the fields as appropriate.
Press the Enter key.
Setting up the target computer
On the target computer, create a directory that will mount the
exported directory. 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.
Type smit.
Select: Software Installation and Maintenance > Install and Update Software > Install and Update
from Latest Available Software. Alternatively,
run the fastpath command smitty install_latest
Enter the path to the remote install images in the INPUT
device / directory for software field (enter /cdrom/wmqi where/cdrom/ is
the mount point of your CD-ROM drive).
Select SOFTWARE to Install. Press the List button
to list the options.
Follow the on-screen instructions to select the components you
want to install.
Check that the AUTOMATICALLY Install
requisite software flag is set to yes,
then press OK to install the product.
Follow the installation prompts.
When you have successfully installed WebSphere
Business Integration Event Broker,
you must then run the mqsisetcapacity command for
licensing purposes.
