Planning the Installation

Plan for the installation procedure.

Note:

There is a change to the license quantity used by per CPU and per chip license types. Adaptive Server 15.5 checks out the same number of licenses as the number of cores on the machine (or chips, depending on the license type) regardless of any configuration settings. This behavior is not a change in licensing terms, but instead is a correction from earlier versions of the server, in which if Adaptive Server was licensed per CPU or CPU chip, therequested license quantity was reduced if the max online engines configuration parameter was set to fewer than the number of CPUs on the machine.

  1. Determine the license type and the host ID.
    Note: If you are configuring Adaptive Server Enterprise Active Messaging Version 15.5, you must have the correct license during the installation
  2. Determine where to install the server.
  3. Ensure your network connection is working.
Note:
If you are using a SySAM License Server Adaptive Server 15.5 is linked with the FLEXnet Publisher version 11.5. If you use a SySAM License Server, you must update the license server to at least this version before installing the new server. To check the version information of your license server, examine the license server log or execute the following command:
cd $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/bin
./lmutil lmver lmgrd

Refer to Installing a new license server section for instructions on how to install the license server. If you are managing FLEXnet licenses from multiple vendors, refer to SySAM Users Guide for more information.
