This section describes how to install Replication Server components.
See the Replication Server Installation Guide to uninstall Replication Server.
For more information, refer to your operating system documentation or consult your operating system administrator.
Insert the Replication Server product CD in the CD drive.
All platforms:
Verify that the drive on which you are installing has sufficient space for Replication Server.
Verify that you are logged in as the “sybase” user with read, write, and execute privileges.
For more information, refer to your operating system documentation or consult your operating system administrator.
Mount the CD. Follow directions for your platform.
Windows:
The operating system mounts the CD automatically. Go to step 4.
HP Itanium:
Log out.
Log in as “root.”
Enter the following command, where device_name is the name of the CD drive device and /mnt/cdrom is the name of the directory where the CD is to be mounted:
mount -F cdfs -o ro device_name /mnt/cdrom
Log out as “root”.
Log in as “sybase.”
IBM AIX:
Enter the following or similar command, where device_name is the name of the CD drive device and /mnt/cdrom is the name of the directory where the CD is to be mounted. The mount command is site-specific, so your mount syntax may differ from this example.
mount -v ‘cdrfs’ -r device_name /mnt/cdrom
Linux:
Enter this command at the # prompt:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
Solaris:
The operating system mounts the CD automatically. Go to step 4.
If you get CD-reading errors, check your operating system kernel to make sure that the ISO 9660 option is turned on.
If your CD shows up as anything other than sybasecd on your machine (for example, sybasecd#1), this means you have previously installed a Sybase CD on your system.
To install this CD, restart your system or delete the sybasecd file in /vol/dsk.
Invoke the installer to install Replication Server in GUI mode.
For more information, go to Chapter 2, “Installing Replication Server,” in the Replication Server Installation Guide for your platform.
-i swing specifies the GUI installation mode.
On Windows:
Windows automatically finds and opens the setup file. Go to step 5.
If the installer does not open, double-click setup.exe or select Start | Run and enter the following command, where x is the CD drive.
x:\setup.exe -i swing
On all UNIX platforms:
Set the DISPLAY environment variable to point to a host with a graphical user interface such as X-Windows, otherwise the installation starts in console mode.
On HP Itanium:
Enter the following command, where cdrom is the directory you specified when mounting the CD:
cd /cdrom ./setup.bin -i swing
On IBM AIX:
Enter the following command, where device_name is the name of the CD drive device:
cd /device_name ./setup.bin -i swing
On Linux:
Enter the following command at the # prompt:
cd /mnt/cdrom ./setup.bin -i swing
On Solaris:
Enter the following command, where cdrom is the directory you specified when mounting the CD and volume label is the volume name in the /cdrom directory:
cd /cdrom/volume label ./setup.bin -i swing
Go to step 6 unless you see a message warning you that there is not enough disk space in the temporary disk space directory. Set the temporary directory to a directory with at least 1GB of disk space on UNIX and 300MB on Windows. To set the temporary directory on:
Windows – set the TMP environment variable to the temporary directory.
UNIX and Linux – set the IATEMPDIR environment variable to the temporary directory.
See Chapter 2, “Installing Replication Server,” in the Replication Server Installation Guide.
The Introduction window appears to remind you to shut down all other programs. Shut down other programs and click Next.
The Choose Install Folder window appears. You can select one of:
Accept the default installation directory and click Next.
The UNIX default install directory is /opt/sybase and the Windows default directory is C:\Sybase.
Enter a different installation directory name, and then click Next.
You cannot enter spaces or double-byte characters in the directory name.
The installer warns you if you choose to install in an existing Sybase product directory. See “Selecting an installation directory for Replication Server” before you select an installation directory. In some cases, installing Replication Server in an existing directory can irreversibly affect other Sybase software.
The Choose Install Set window appears. Select Typical installation and click Next.
Selecting Typical installation installs the Replication
Server components considered to be useful for most customers.
The End-user License Agreement window appears. Select your geographic location.
Read the Sybase license agreement. If you agree to the terms of the Sybase license, select “I agree to the terms of the Sybase license for the install location specified.” Click Next. You must agree to the license agreement if you want to proceed with the installation.
The Sybase Software Asset Management License(SySAM) window appears if the installer does not detect any license it can use. You can select one of:
Specify License Keys – click Browse to select the license file or copy the license key directly into the panel, and then click Next. If you specify a served license key, the installer prompts you to install a new SySAM license server. Click one of:
Next – to install the new SySAM license server and follow the installation prompts.
Previous – and select the “Use previously deployed license server” option if you have an existing SySAM license server on the same host.
Use Previously Deployed License Server – select if you have a SySAM license server already installed, then enter the host name and the port number of the license server. Click Next.
Continue Installation Without a License Key – select if you do not have licenses for any of the Replication Server components, and click Next to proceed. You can install and use Replication Server components without a license for a grace period of 30 days. Click Next.
Your grace period starts when you install the product.
For more information on SySAM, see the Sybase Software Asset Management Users Guide.
Enter the information required in the SySAM Notification window and click Next.
The Preinstallation Summary window lists the installation directory, the features to be installed, the total disk space required for the installation, and the disk space available on your server.
Click Install. The installer installs the components on your hard drive and displays the progress of the installation.
After installing the components, the Start Sample Replication Server window appears. Select Yes to start the sample Replication Server. Click Next. The installer displays the configuration information related to the sample Replication Server.
Click Next. The Install Complete window confirms if installation is successful.
Click Done to close the installer.
You are now ready to create the replication environment.
For more information, go to Chapter 3, “Setting Up and Configuring the Replication Environment.”
