Installing on Sun Solaris

Note: If you plan to install an MQSeries client and server on the same machine, see ªInstalling MQSeries Clients on the Same Machine as the Serverº on page 57.

The MQSeries product is installed into the /opt/mqm directory. This cannot be changed.

Before Installation

Before you can install an MQSeries client on your Sun Solaris system you:

vMust create a group with the name mqm.

vMust create a user ID with the name mqm.

vAre recommended to create and mount a /var/mqm file system, or /var/mqm, /var/mqm/log, and /var/mqm/errors file systems.

If you create separate partitions, the following directories must be on a local file system:

±/var/mqm

±/var/mqm/log

You can choose to NFS mount the /var/mqm/errors and /var/mqm/trace directories to conserve space on your local system.

After installation, this user ID (mqm) owns the directories and files that contain the resources associated with the product. This group and user must be defined for any machine on which the MQSeries software is to be installed, whether the machine is a client or a server machine.

For stand-alone machines, you can create the new user and group IDs locally. For machines administered in a network information services (NIS) domain, you can create the user and group IDs on the NIS master server machine.

Installation

Carry out the following procedure:

1.Check whether Volume Manager is running on your system by typing the following command:

/usr/bin/ps -ef /bin/grep vold

If it is running, the CD is mounted on /cdrom/mqclient automatically. If it is not running, mount the CD by typing the following commands:

mkdir -p /cdrom/mqclient

mount -F hsfs -r /dev/dsk/cntndnsn /cdrom/mqclient

substituting cntndnsn with the name of your CD-ROM device.

2.Use the Sun Solaris pkgadd program to install the MQSeries client software by carrying out the following procedure:

a. Type pkgadd -d /cdrom/mqclient/solaris/mqs510.img.
