Directory

Create a platform-speciﬁc directory to contain the DataMgr ﬁles extracted from the CD. The default directory is /usr/dminstall. For instructions on deleting this directory if space is limited, see “Remove Load Directory” on page 4-6 .

If, for example, you have extracted Solaris-speciﬁc DataMgr ﬁles from the CD, your directory hierarchy would look similar to the illustration below:

/ (root)

usr/

home/ tmp/

lib/

bin/

dminstall/

solaris/

~/etc/dm/books/

Determine Location for Components

Each DataMgr component (BFS, SSD, SLD, and DMFS) must be installed on a UNIX machine.

•BFS: Install the BFS on a server that has network access to the DataMgr clients (DMFS) and to the DataMgr daemons (SSD and SLD). A minimum of one BFS component is required.

•SSD: Install SSD on each server where AMASS is installed and will be used for ﬁle storage.

•SLD: Install the SLD on any machine with network access to the BFS, DMFS clients, and SSD. Only one SLD is required.
