Installing the Jabber XCP License
Required: You must install the Jabber XCP license file before you can
start the Jabber XCP Controller and the server.
To perform this procedure, make sure that you have downloaded the Jabber XCP license
file (license.xml) from the Jabber Support site as described in Step 7 on page 17. These
instructions assume that you downloaded the license into the /tmp directory on your
primary Jabber XCP server.
To install the Jabber XCP license
1. Change to the $JABBER_HOME/bin directory; for example:
cd /opt/jabber/XCP_5.2/bin
2. Run the license management tool using the path to the license file as an argument:
./install_license /tmp/license.xml
Installing Remote Connection Managers
Optional: You can install and run Connection Managers (CMs) on
systems that are remote from the primary Jabber XCP server. This
type of deployment can increase the scalability, security, and
performance of your Jabber XCP environment.
To install a remote CM
1. Follow the instructions in “Preparing Your System for Installation” on page 19 to set
up the remote system for the installation.
2. Change to the Jabber user on the remote system:
su - jabber
3. Set the $JABBER_HOME environment variable to the installation directory; for
example:
export JABBER_HOME=/opt/jabber/XCP_5.2
4. In the directory that contains the core server installer script, enter the following
command (where OS is
linux or solaris8):
./xcp-core-installer-5.2.2.x-OS.bin --prefix=$JABBER_HOME
5. Install the Jabber XCP license as described in the previous section.
