Page 34

Pre-installation tasks

Before you install Replication Server, decide which SySAM configuration to use:

•Unserved model using unserved licenses

•Network license server using Served licenses

If you are going to use a network license server, decide whether to use an existing license server or a new license server.

•If you use an existing license server, you must know the server host name and port number.

•To create a new license server before installing Replication Server, see “Installing a new license server” on page 22.

Note Sybase recommends that you obtain the license files from the Sybase

Product Download Center (SPDC) at https://sybase.subscribenet.com before you

begin installation.

Installing a new license server

Perform the following steps to install a new license server on a machine separate from the Replication Server you want to run:

1Mount the CD by running the following command:

•HP-UX

Enter the following where device_name is the name of the CD device drive, and /RS150HP/cdrom is the name of the directory where the CD is to be mounted:

/etc/mount -F cdfs -o ro device_name /RS150HP/cdrom

•IBM AIX

Enter the following where device_name is the name of the CD device drive, and /RS150IBM/cdrom is the name of the directory where the CD is to be mounted:

/usr/sbin/mount -v 'cdrfs' -r device_name /RS150IBM/cdrom

The location of the mount command is site-specific and may differ from what is shown in these instructions.

•Solaris

The operating system mounts the CD automatically.
