8 INSTALLING 7SIGNAL SAPPHIRE SOFTWARE
Install the following software from the 7signal Sapphire Installation CD.
8.1 Carat DBMS (Linux)
Prerequisities
The operating system installation may or may not have all the necessary information for DBMS
installation. Please check the following items:
C++ library
o command: yum install compat-libstdc++-33
o An RPM package is contained in Sonar medium in folder named ‘Non-7signal
Software’ in case there is no network connectivity
Hosts file must contain the localhost name.
o more /etc/hosts
o edit the hosts file if needed
Installing
The DBMS for Linux comes as a file of type bin that contains both the script and 3
rd
party install
package for DBMS. There is another version of the DBMS installer that does not contain the
actual DBMS package. The latter is suitable for upgrades. The install may be run in any
directory, the root home is just a practical example.
Copy 7signal-DBMS-installer from delivery medium to for example /root directory. NOTE! Do
not use /tmp directory.
Step 1 (option 1): Install DBMS database uninterrupted with the default settings
by issuing a
command:
# ./7signal-DBMS-x.x-x.x-installer.bin –s
The silent install does not require input as all the options shall use default settings. Since
release 2.0 the DBMS install is instructed to be the first element to install. The silent install
suits this model well but it is up to the user if one wants to install Carat server first: both ways
work fine.
Step 1 (option 2): Install DBMS database by issuing a command:
# ./7signal-DBMS-x.x-x.x-installer.bin <path_to_DB2_package>
The DB2 package is in delivery medium for Sonar in folder named ‘Non-7signal Software’.
7signal is the official distributor for IBM DB2.
To understand the phases of the installation, install output is below.
