Preparation

To start a repository

If the repository is already installed, you must provide the server, port number, and user information for the existing repository. The system populates the screen with default values for the server, port number, and user information, but you can modify the values if necessary.

Use platform specific commands to start the repository: a On Windows, enter the following:

cd <install dir>\CIMRepository-3_0_0\bin repository.bat

b On UNIX, enter the following:

cd <install dir>/CIMRepository-3_0_0/bin

./repository.sh

Temporary Installation Directory

The installer uses a temporary location during the installation process. The default temporary location on Windows is defined in the system environment variables and is usually set to C:\temp. The default temporary location on UNIX is /var/tmp.

If enough space is not available in the default temporary location, the installer might not start, or it might start, but notify you that sufficient space is not available. Either case requires providing sufficient space in the temporary directory. You can do one of the following:

Move or delete files to provide space on the default temporary directory.

Launch the installer using a different temporary directory.

To install on a temporary directory other than the default directory:

Use platform specific commands to specify an install directory:

a On Windows, enter the following:

setup -is:tempdir <full path to alternate temp directory>

b On UNIX, enter the following:

setup -is:tempdir <full path to alternate temp directory>
