Installing Using rpm

For performance reasons, the software should not be installed on or accessed using NFS-mounted disks. A directly connected disk is always preferable.

Install the product software as root:

rpm [-prefix directory ] rpm_archive_name.rpm

The default installation location will be /opt/ibi/... unless specified otherwise by the --prefix option. To change defaults further after the RPM installation, use the Web Console to change options. To change defaults during the RPM installation, create the silent installation input file /tmp/ibi.opt (before running the rpm -i command) containing:

-inst
  -edahome /home/webfocus/ibi/srv77/home
  -edaconf /home/webfocus/ibi/srv77/wfs
  -license xxx-xxx-xxxx-xx  -http_port 8121
  -edaprfu /home/webfocus/ibi/profiles
  -approot /home/webfocus/ibi/apps
  -pth_user srvadmin
  -pth_password mypass
  -nostart

Substitute your desired locations, port, ID, password, and license key for the default values listed above.

When the RPM command completes, continue at the Verifying Installation step described in Verifying Installation.

Note: As RPM requires the installing ID to be root, all resulting files are owned by root and follow the umask of root at the time of the installation (unlike other installation methods where the iadmin owns the files). This is the nature of RPM, and the server will operate as expected in this state. If a site does not desire the server to be root-owned, it is up to the site to correctly reassign ownerships and permissions throughout the various directory trees that make up the product.
