Installing over a network on Solaris

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 Solaris.
  3. Copy the complete contents of the CD to the new directory. For example:
    cp -rf /cdrom/wmqimb /instwmqi
  4. 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 Message Broker Lan install"
     /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. 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.
  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.
