Installing over a network on Linux

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 on the server to store the installation files. For example:
    mkdir /instwmqi
  2. Insert and mount the CD in the drive as described in Mounting CDs on Linux.
  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 new directory to mount the shared directory. For example:
    mkdir /remotewmqiimage
    where remotewmqiimage is the name of the new directory.
  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 Event Broker, you must then run the mqsisetcapacity command for licensing purposes.

If you are using RedHat Advanced Server V2.1, you must install the JRE available on the Supplemental CD after you install WebSphere Business Integration Event Broker. From the /opt/mqsi/jre directory, unpack the file with the following command:

tar -zxf /mnt/cdrom/Linux_ia32/RAC/IBMJRE-1.3.1-for-RHASv21-SMP.tgz
