Installation manual

/path/response_file_name
Defines the name for the response file. The default is
install.script, and a sample install.script file is
provided in the \instmgr directory on the Host
On-Demand CD. Any file name can be used if
properly specified on the command line used to
execute the installation process.
Below are sample command lines that will install Host On-Demand on an AIX
workstation in silent mode. The silent mode installation installs Host On-Demand
in the /usr/opt directory, creates hostondemand as the server directory and HOD as
the publish directory. The examples assume that you mounted the CD-ROM drive
as /cdrom .
The following commands must be on one line. Before issuing any of the
following commands change into the instmgr directory, for example. cd
/cdrom/instmgr.
To install in silent mode using the install.script from the CD and record a log
file called HodInstall.log:
/cdrom/instmgr/installaix.sh -p /cdrom/instmgr/install.script > /tmp/HodInstall.log
To record a response file:
/cdrom/instmgr/instaix.sh -r /tmp/install.script
To playback the response:
/cdrom/instmgr/instaix.sh -p /tmp/install.script
The target system’s configuration must be the same as that of the source system
(the system on which the response file was created). For example, if the source
system has a previous installation of Host On-Demand Version 6, the target system
must have the same. If the source system installed Host On-Demand to a
/usr/opt/hostondemand directory, the target system must also have a
/usr/opt/hostondemand directory. The source and target systems must have the
same number of Web servers, though they do not need to be the same type.
Installing on UNIX (Solaris, HP-UX, and Linux)
To install Host On-Demand on Solaris, the following are required:
v Solaris Web server
v JVM 1.1 8 or 1.3
To install Host On-Demand on HP-UX, the following are required:
v HP Web server
v JVM 1.1.8 or 1.3
To install Host On-Demand on Linux, the following are required:
v Linux Web Server
v JVM 1.1.8 or 1.3
Host On-Demand Version 6 does not work with the Gnome 1.0 desktop, using
the default window manager, Enlightenment. You must upgrade to Gnome 1.2
or later and use the new default window manager, SawFish.
