You need to know your license key. These keys
are for a specific number of CPUs. If more cores are detected than
the license allows, the installation will be blocked.
- The remedy for a core blocked installation is to obtain
and use a correct license or use a machine with the correct core
count (which may be a real or a virtualized environment).
- Some features use additional license codes that are not specified
during the installation.
You need to know your SMTP mail server information, if
you will use any of the server email notification features.
You need a server administrator user ID, referred
to as iadmin in the remainder of this chapter.
- The operating system ID you use when installing the server
owns the server files and is the default server administrator for
OPSYS mode. You can create a new operating system ID to run and
own the server files, or use any ordinary (non-superuser) ID. However,
you should not install the server as root. The server administrator
ID should have a Korn, Bourne, or Bash shell as the default logon
shell.
- In addition to the iadmin ID, you have the option of creating
a an iserver user ID that is QSECOFR for internal use by the server
to proxy the authority of QSECOFR. The ID can be an account never
used for logging in. You might wish to create an iserver ID if,
for example, you do not want certain server processes to appear
as owned by QSECOFR.
For specific information on creating IDs, see Creating
User IDs.
