Installing over a network on HP-UX

To install over a network, carry out the following tasks on the server, and on the target computer.

Setting up the server

Carry out the following steps on the server:

  1. Create a directory to store the installation files. For example:
    mkdir /instwmqi
  2. Insert and mount the CD in the drive as described in Mounting CDs on HP-UX.
  3. Copy the complete contents of the CD to the new directory. For example:
    cp -rf /cdrom/wmqimb /instwmqi
  4. Give all licensed users access to the directory that now contains the CD image.
  5. 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 computer

Carry out the following steps on the target computer:

  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 computer.
  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. You are now ready to install the product in this directory.
After you have successfully installed WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker, you must then run the mqsisetcapacity command for licensing purposes.
