Installing on UNIX Platforms in Console Mode

Perform the following steps to install the eLink TCP for Tuxedo software in console mode on a certified UNIX platform:

1. Log on as root.

>     $ su -
>     Password:

2. Access the CD-ROM device.

>     # ls -l /dev/cdrom

>     total 0

>     brw-rw-rw-     1 root     sys     22,   0 July 1 10:55 c1b0t010

3. Mount the CD-ROM. Mount commands vary depending on your system configuration. Refer to your System Administrator for the specific command for your system. Use a command similar to the following command to mount the CD-ROM on any UNIX system, except HP-UX.

>     # mount -r -F cdfs /dev/cdrom/c1b0t0l0 /mnt

If you are installing on an HP-UX system, use a command similar to the following command:

>     # mount -r -F cdfs -o cdcase /dev/cdrom/c1b0t010 /mnt

4. Change the directory to the unix directory on your CD-ROM device. For example,

>     # cd /mnt

5. List the CD-ROM contents.

>     # ls

>     tcp32_Aix.bin

>     tcp32_Nt.bin

>     tcp32_Hp.bin

>     tcp32_Sol7.bin

>     tcp32_Sol8.bin

6. Execute the installation program in character-based mode by selecting the appropriate file for your platform from the listed files. For example, for the AIX platform, select:

>     # sh tcp32_Aix.bin -i console

7. The installation program runs and prompts you for responses (see Listing 1-1 for an example).

If it does not, complete the following steps:

1. Choose Start—>Run. The Run dialog displays.

2. Click Browse to navigate to the CD-ROM drive.

The following files should be located in root:

- tcp32_Aix.bin

- tcp32_Hp.bin

- tcp32_Nt.bin

- tcp32_Sol7.bin

- tcp32_Sol8.bin

3. Select tcp32_Nt.exe.

4. Click Open.

5. InstallAnywhere runs and the Introduction screen (Figure 1-1) is displayed.

6. Proceed to Step 3.

On UNIX:

1. Log on as root to install the eLink TCP for Tuxedo software.

>     $ su -
>     Password:

2. Access the CD-ROM device.

>     > ls -l /dev/cdrom

>     total 0

>     brw-rw-rw-     1 root     sys     22,   0 July 1 10:55 c1b0t010

3. Mount the CD-ROM. Mount commands vary depending on your system configuration. Refer to your System Administrator for the specific command for your system. Use a command similar to the following command to mount the CD-ROM on any UNIX system, except HP-UX.

>     > mount -r -F cdfs /dev/cdrom/c1b0t0l0 /mnt

If you are installing on an HP-UX system, use a command similar to the following command:

>     > mount -r -F cdfs -o cdcase /dev/cdrom/c1b0t010 /mnt
