F.2 Update installation of Application Server (In UNIX)

With an update installation, use the product media, PP installer.

This subsection describes the procedure for an update installation. The installation operation requires the root permission. For details on the notes on an update installation, see Appendix I.1 Notes on the installation and un-installation of Application Server.

Note that the update installation operations differ depending on the presence or absence of the Component Container Administrator settings. For details, see 4.1.4 Notes on setting Component Container administrator (For UNIX).

Procedure

  1. Log in to Application Server with the root permission (superuser).

  2. Make sure that none of the component software processes are running. If a process is running, stop the process.

  3. Set the product media in the CD-ROM drive.

  4. If the product media is a CD-ROM, mount the CD-ROM file system.

    An example of command execution is as follows. The underlined parts specify the device special file name, and the mount directory name of the CD-ROM file system. Note that these names vary depending on the OS, hardware, and environment.

    (Example of execution in AIX)
    mount -r -v cdrfs /dev/cd0 /cdrom
    (Example of execution in Linux)
    mount -r -o mode=0544 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
  5. Start the setup program.

    An example of command execution is as follows. The underlined part specifies the mount directory name of the CD-ROM file system. In Linux, the PP installer that installs Reliable Messaging, TPBroker, and Web Services - Security differs from the PP installer that installs the other component software and the common modules of the products.

    (Example of execution in AIX)
    /cdrom/aix/setup /cdrom
    (Example of execution in Linux)
    /mnt/cdrom/x64lin/setup /mnt/cdrom

    The CD-ROM setup program installs the PP installer and the resident process auto-start program on the hard disk, and the PP installer starts automatically.

    Important note

    The coded contents and how to display the contents for the CD-ROM directory and file names might differ depending on the computer environment. Check with the ls command, and enter the displayed file name as is.

  6. In the main menu of the PP installer, press the I key.

    The Install PP window appears.

  7. Move the cursor to the program, and then press the Space key.

    Select all the programs (component software supporting Application Server, and the common modules of the products). <@> appears on the left side of the selected program. Note that you can also select and install a program.

    Important note

    For details on the component software supporting the products, see 2.2.1(3) Component software supporting the products. The program names displayed by the products vary for the common modules of the products.

  8. Make sure that <@> is displayed on the left side of all the programs, and then press the I key.

    The message Install PP? (y: install, n: cancel)==> appears at the bottom of the window.

  9. Press the y or Y key.

    The installation process starts.

    If you press the n or N key, the installation process is cancelled and you return to the Install PP window.

  10. When the message indicating the end of installation is output, press the Q key.

    You return to the main menu of the PP installer.

  11. In the main menu of the PP installer, press the Q key.

    The update installation of Application Server finishes.

    For details on the operations to be performed after an update installation, see Chapter 10 in the uCosminexus Application Server Maintenance and Migration Guide.
