Installing Replication Server

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.

Windows:

• Set the TEMP environment variable to a temporary directory, such as c:\temp. InstallShield frees this space after the installation is complete.

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:

1. Log out.

2. Log in as “root.”

3. 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
   

4. Log out as “root”.

5. 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 InstallShield 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.

On Windows:

Windows automatically finds and opens the setup file. Go to step 5.

If InstallShield 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

On HP Itanium:

Enter the following command, where cdrom is the directory you specified when mounting the CD:

cd /cdrom 
./setup

On IBM AIX:

Enter the following command, where device_name is the name of the CD drive device:

cd /device_name 
./setup -is:javahome JVM

On Linux:

Enter the following command at the # prompt:

cd /mnt/cdrom 
./setup -is:javahome JVM

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

Go to step 6 unless you see this error message:

Error writing file = There may not be enough
temporary disk space. Try using -is:tempdir to use a
temporary directory on a partition with more disk
space.

Set the temporary directory to a directory with at least 100MB of disk space. Enter this command to set the temporary directory:

setup.exe -is:tempdir directory_name
