Initial Install of System

Note: The system's initial installation must be executed from the Master Server (LIM 1 server).
In this procedure a file with the configuration data is created and used as specification for how every server belonging to the system should be configured. All servers are configured from Master Server (LIM 1) according to the data specified in the configuration data file.
To install the system:

  1. Log off from the system as a root user (if root is used) and then login as mxone_admin user.

  2. Copy the template file from mxone_admin home directory /local/home/mxone_admin/mxoneInstallData-template.txt to create /local/home/mxone_admin/mxoneInstallData.txt.
    Note: The template file is used as a sample configuration file for configuring all servers in the system.

  3. Update the mxoneInstallData.txt file with your system information.

  4. Copy the MX-ONE SW package (for example, MX-ONE_x.x.spx.hfx.rcx.bin) to the master server (LIM 1) using network transfer or from USB stick to /local/home/mxone_admin/install_sw/.

  5. Optional Step: Copy the MX-ONE OS patch package to /local/home/mxone_admin/install_sw/. to have SLES on all servers patched when install is ready.
    Note: You can also add patches manually after installation by using the mxone_maintenance tool.

  6. As a mxone_admin user, verify the mxoneInstallData.txt file by entering the following command.

    runTkInstall <path>/<MX-package file> --verifyTxt
    Note:

    If any errors are found, correct them by updating the mxoneInstallData.txt file, and then repeat this step.

  7. Start installation using following command: runTkInstall ./install_sw/MX-ONE_<your version>.bin

  8. Enter password for mxone_admin to start the installation.

  9. Follow on screen printouts of installation progress. For a more detailed view, follow the installation for a server with command tail -F /var/log/messages

    When system installation is ready Installation finished successfully is printed on screen.

Verification After Installation

To verify the syntax for mxoneInstallData.txt and mxoneAddServerData.txt.

  1. Login to the MX-ONE system as an mxone_admin user.

  2. Enter the following command.

    install_data_syntax_check --verify <file>

    In this command, the <file> indicates the mxoneAddServerData.txt or mxoneInstallData.txt.
