Installing the Regional Distribution Unit

Install the RDU server on a Solaris 8 server that meets the requirements described in the “Hardware Requirements” section on page 1-2.

To install the RDU server, complete the steps described in the “Installation and Startup Process” section on page 2-2, then follow these steps:

Step 1 Click Next. The Home Directory Destination screen appears. The default directory is /opt/CSCObpr.

Step 2 Accept the default directory or enter a new directory. You can use the Browse button to select a new directory.

Step 3 Click Next. The installation program displays the Create Directory dialog box. Click Yes to continue. The Data Directory Destination screen appears. The default directory is /var/CSCObpr.

Step 4 Accept the default directory or enter a new directory. You can use the Browse button to select a new directory.

Note By default, the installation program installs the data directory (BPR_DATA) on a different directory than the home directory (BPR_HOME). Cisco Systems recommends that the data directory be on a different physical disk than the home directory; for example /var/disk0/CSCObpr. However, you can install the data directory on the same disk as the home directory.

The directory specified becomes the top-level directory under which the installation program creates a number of subdirectories; for example, /var/disk0/CSCObpr/rdu/db.

Step 5 Click Next. The installation program displays the Create Directory dialog box. Click Yes to continue. The Database Transaction Logs screen appears.

Step 6 Enter the pathname for the directory in which you want the transaction logs (BPR_DBLOG) installed. The default directory is /var/CSCObpr.

Note By default, the installation program installs the database transaction logs directory (BPR_DBLOG) in the same directory as the data directory (BPR_DATA). Cisco Systems recommends that you locate the database transaction logs directory on the fastest disk on the system; for example, /var/disk1/CSCObpr. You also should ensure that the disk has 1 GB of space available.

The directory specified becomes the top-level directory under which the installation program creates a number of subdirectories.

Step 7 Accept the default directory or enter a new directory. You can use the Browse button to select a new directory.

Step 8 Click Next. The installation program displays the Create Directory dialog box. Click Yes to continue.

The Regional Distribution Unit Host/Port screen appears.

Step 9 Accept the default listening port number or enter a new port number. The default port is 49187.
