This topic instructs you on Load Balancer installation
using system packaging tools and requirements for Solaris operating
systems.
Before you begin
For information on hardware and software requirements,
including supported browsers, refer to the following Web page: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27006921.
You cannot have two installations of the Dispatcher component
installed on the same system. If you have a previous version of the
Edge components installed, uninstall the Dispatcher component before
starting the installation process for Load Balancer for IPv4 and IPv6.
Refer to Uninstalling Load Balancer for
more information.
About this task
The Java 2 SDK automatically installs with Load Balancer
on all platforms. If you are migrating from a previous version of
Load Balancer, or reinstalling the operating system, prior to installation
you can save any of your previous configuration files or script files
for Load Balancer.
- After installation, place your configuration files in the install_root/configurations/dispatcher
directory.
- After installation, place your script files in the install_root/servers/bin
directory in order to run them.
Procedure
- Prepare to install.
- Log in as root user.
- Insert the CD-ROM that contains the Load Balancer software
into the appropriate drive.
- Display the list of packages to install and choose which
ones you would like to install.
- At the command prompt, enter the command to display
the list of packages. Enter the following:
pkgadd -d /path_name/xxx.pkg
where path_name is
the device name of the CD-ROM drive or the directory on the hard drive
where the package is located. To use the CD-ROM, for example, enter
the following: pkgadd -d /cdrom/cdrom0/xxx.pkg. The following
is a list of packages:Table 1. Solaris Install

- Optional: If you want to install some of
the components, enter the names corresponding to the packages to be
installed separated by a space or comma and press return.
You can choose to install some of
the packages if you do not want the entire product installated. If
you want to install Dispatcher, install the following packages:
- Base
- Dispatcher
- License
- Native
If you want to install Metric Server, install the following packages:
- Base
- Metric Server
- Native
- Verify that the product is installed. Issue
the following command:
pkginfo | grep ibm
What to do next
The installation process does not add the
command directories for Load Balancer into the PATH environment variable.
To run Load Balancer commands from the system root, add the command
directories to the PATH environment variable.
Avoid trouble: If
you had previous installation of the Dispatcher component installed,
be aware that Load Balancer for IPv4 versions of the Dispatcher component
used commands in the /usr/bin directory, which might be in the PATH
variable. Load Balancer for IPv4 and IPv6 has commands in the
install_root/bin
directory, so be aware that the directory entries point to the appropriate
directories for the dsserver and dscontrol command.
