Enterprise Postgres 18 Installation and Setup Guide for Client

3.2.2 Installation from RPM Package

The installation procedure is described below.

1. Stop applications and programs

Reinstallation requires stopping applications and programs.

Before starting the installation, stop the following:

2. Mount the DVD drive

Insert the client program DVD into the DVD drive, and then execute the following command:

Example
# 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).

3. Run the installation

The RPM packages required to install each product are stored under the mount point where you mounted the DVD.

The following shows a list of packages and the path of the storage directory.

Install all packages for the product you are installing.

Product name

Package storage directory

Package name

Client

CLIENT64/Linux/packages/<os>

FJSVfsep-client-*.rpm

Pgpool-II

PGPOOL2/Linux/packages/<os>

FJSVfsep-pgpool2-*.rpm

pgBackRest

PGBACKREST/Linux/packages/<os>

FJSVfsep-pgbackrest-*.rpm

ldap2pg

LDAP2PG/Linux/packages/<os>

FJSVfsep-ldap2pg-*.rpm

<os> is the OS of the operating environment. Depending on your system requirements, refer to RHEL8, RHEL9, or SLES15.

*is the detailed name of the package, version, OS, etc.


The default installation directory names are:

To specify a path different from the default installation directory, you can use the following characters:

[a-zA-Z0-9], -,, and /

Product name

Installation directory name (default)

Client

/opt/fsepv<x>client64

Pgpool-II

/opt/fsepv<x>pgpool-II

pgBackRest

/opt/fsepv<x>pgbackrest

ldap2pg

/opt/fsepv<x>ldap2pg

"<x>" is the product version.

Point

We recommend that you install the packages for each product in a batch.

You can use "*" to specify a package name, or you can install all packages in a batch by specifying all package names side by side.

Example

To install the client product in a RHEL8 environment, run the following command:

# cd /media/dvd/CLIENT64/Linux/packages/RHEL8
# rpm -ivh FJSVfsep-client-*.rpm

Use --prefix to specify a path different from the default installation directory.

4. Check the installed product

Check the installed products by following the procedure below.

Example

Displays the name of the installed package.

# rpm -qa | grep FJSVfsep

For detailed package information, run the following command:

# rpm -qi package name
Example

In the path, "<x>" and "<x0z>" refer to the x and z of x SPz, which is expressed as the product version. For products without SPz, <x0z> is <x00>.

# rpm -qi FJSVfsep-client-essential-<x>-<x0z>-0.el8.x86_64
