The installation procedure is described below.
Point
The following characters can be used as input values:
Alphanumeric characters, hyphens and forward slashes
1. Stop the program
If the installation method is the following, the program must be stopped:
Reinstallation
Before starting the installation, stop the following:
Mirroring Controller arbitration process
Execute the mc_arb command in stop mode to stop the Mirroring Controller arbitration process.
$ mc_arb stop -M /mcarb_dir/arbiter1
2. Mount the DVD drive
Insert the Server Assistant program DVD into the DVD drive, and then execute the following command:
# mount -t iso9660 -r -o loop /dev/dvd /media/dvd
Here /dev/dvd is the device name for the DVD drive (which may vary depending on your environment), and /media/dvd is the mount point (which may need to be created before calling the command).
If the DVD was mounted automatically using the automatic mount daemon (autofs), "noexec" is set as the mount option, so the installer may fail to start. In this case, use the mount command to remount the DVD correctly, and then run the installation. Note that the mount options of a mounted DVD can be checked by executing the mount command without any arguments.
3. Run the installation
Install the following packages (rpm) with the rpm command.
If you perform reinstallation, and an installation prefix (in the --prefix option of the rpm command) was used for the new installation, you must use the same prefix.
Feature Name | Operating System | Package (Path) |
---|---|---|
Server Assistant | RHEL8 | ARBITER/Linux/packages/r80s390x/FJSVfsep-ARB-*rpm |
RHEL9 | ARBITER/Linux/packages/r90s390x/FJSVfsep-ARB-*rpm | |
SLES 15 | ARBITER/Linux/packages/SUSE15s390x/FJSVfsep-ARB-*rpm |
*is the version, OS, etc.
In the following example, /media/dvd is the name of the mount point where the DVD is mounted.
The "<x>" and " <x0z>" in the path indicate the x and z of the x SPz represented as the product version. For products without SPz, <x0z> becomes <x00>.
Below is an example of new installation on RHEL9.
# cd /media/dvd/ARBITER/Linux/packages/r90s390x # rpm -ivh FJSVfsep-ARB-<x>-<x0z>-0.el9.s390x.rpm
Below is an example of new installation on SLES 15.
# cd /media/dvd/ARBITER/Linux/packages/SUSE15s390x # rpm -ivh FJSVfsep-ARB-<x>-<x0z>-0.s15.s390x.rpm
Below is an example of reinstallation on RHEL9.
# cd /media/dvd/ARBITER/Linux/packages/r90s390x # rpm -ivh --replacepkgs FJSVfsep-ARB-<x>-<x0z>-0.el9.s390x.rpm
Below is an example of reinstallation on SLES15.
# cd /media/dvd/ARBITER/Linux/packages/SUSE15s390x # rpm -ivh --replacepkgs FJSVfsep-ARB-<x>-<x0z>-0.s15.s390x.rpm
4. Set the installation environment
Use the mc_update_jre_env command to set the installation environment to be used by the Server Assistant.
# /opt/fsepv<x>assistant/bin/mc_update_jre_env
