Use the instructions in this section to perform a new installation of OpenSwitch in GUI mode.
Insert the CD in the CD drive.
The installer starts automatically from the CD and the Welcome window displays.
If you downloaded the install image from the SPDC, or the installer does not start automatically from the CD, select Start | Run, and enter:
x:\setup.exe
where “x” is your CD drive.
Click OK. The Welcome window displays.
WARNING! If you download the product from the SPDC, do not download to a directory with spaces in the name. You cannot run InstallShield or the configuration tool from a directory with spaces in the name.
Click Next and choose your geographic location in the license and copyright agreement windows.
Select the geographical location where the software is being installed. The license agreement for that region displays.
Read the license agreement and select “I agree to the terms of the Sybase license for the install location specified.” You must agree to the license and copyright before you can continue.
Click Next.
In the Destination window:
Enter or select the directory where you want to install the product.
WARNING! On Windows systems, you cannot install into a directory that contains spaces in the name; for example, “Program Files.”
You can:
Accept the default installation directory; or
Enter the name of the root directory where you want to install OpenSwitch; or
Click the Browse button to select the installation location.
Click Next.
If you enter a directory that does not exist, click Yes at the prompt to create the directory.
If the installation directory you selected exists, and contains a prior installation, InstallShield prompts you with the following message:
You have chosen to install into an existing directory. Any older versions of the products you choose to install that are detected in this directory will be replaced. Do you want to continue with installation into this directory?
Click Yes to install on top of the previous installation.
Select the type of installation to perform.
If you are installing in a high availability environment,
see “Compatibility with other Sybase products” before
selecting the installation type.
If you choose Typical, InstallShield installs the default components. This is recommended for most users.
The default components to be installed are:
OpenSwitch components
Connectivity – Open Client and Common Connectivity Components
Language Modules
Sybase Software Asset Management – SySAM License Server and SySAM License Utilities
Shared
OpenSwitch Administration Tools – Sybase Central and OpenSwitch Manager
If you choose Custom, select the components to install. Select this option only if you have a good knowledge of the interdependencies of Sybase and OpenSwitch products.
Click Next.
The Summary window displays:
The installation directory
The features to be installed
The total size of the installation
Click Next to continue with the installation, or click Back to change the feature selection.
A progress bar shows the progress of the installation. When the installation completes, a message indicating successful installation is displayed.
If you are installing into an existing Adaptive Server
Enterprise 15.0 installation directory, you may be asked if you
want to overwrite certain Open Client/Server files.
If an existing file is newer or has the same date, select No. If an existing file is older, select Yes.
On successful installation, InstallShield displays the following message:
“The InstallShield Wizard has successfully installed OpenSwitch suite. Choose Next to continue the wizard.”
Click Next. The SySAM License Server window opens.
The Sybase Software Asset Management License Server window allows you to specify where OpenSwitch will find its licenses. Where you choose to store your license depends upon whether you have selected a served or unserved license model.
For more information about served and unserved licenses,
see “Choosing a license model,” in Chapter 2,“Understanding
Licensing Concepts and Models” in the Sybase
Software Asset Management Users Guide.
You must specify whether the licenses will be obtained from a license server.
If you answer Yes, enter the following information:
Host name – the name of the machine where the license manager is running
Port number – if you have used a non-default port number
If you answer No, you will be using unserved licenses. You will be reminded to download and install the license file after you have finished the installation.
When you download the license file, copy it to the %SYBASE%\SYSAM-2_0\licenses directory.
The Sybase Software Asset Management Notification window prompts you to configure your server for e-mail notification. When configuration is enabled, you will receive information about license management events requiring attention.
Provide the following information:
SMTP server host name
SMTP server port number
E-mail Return Address
Recipient e-mail addresses
Message severity that triggers e-mail messages
When the installation is successful and you click Next, the configuration tool window opens.
To configure OpenSwitch now, click Next. Proceed to Chapter 3, “Configuring OpenSwitch.”
If you do not want to configure OpenSwitch now, click Cancel. A prompt asks you to confirm that you want to terminate the configuration. Click Yes. Both the installer and configuration tool windows close.
To configure the product later, see Chapter 3, “Configuring OpenSwitch.”
If the installation was unsuccessful, use a text editor to open the installation log file, oswInstall.log, in the %SYBASE% directory and troubleshoot what may have gone wrong.
Perform any post-installation steps. See Chapter 4, “Post-Installation Tasks,” for instructions.
You can verify whether the installation and configuration processes were successful. This procedure, however, does not verify whether OpenSwitch is running with your Adaptive Server. See “Verifying client connections” for instructions.
In Task Manager | Processes, check to see that OSwitch.exe is running.
You are now ready to start OpenSwitch. See “Starting OpenSwitch”.
