Installation information

  • - Installation Notes

    Please refer to the "IBM Parallel Environment Runtime Edition Installation" for details.

    1. If you are installing IBM Parallel Environment Runtime Edition for Linux for the FIRST time, you will get the complete product by installing this release image.

      Before installing IBM PE Runtime Edition you will need to install the IBM System Resource Controller RPM on your system first. You will do this by invoking the 'rpm -i' command.

      You will have to copy the IBM PE Runtime Edition electronic license RPM from the PE RTE 1.3.0.0 CD and install it together with the other PE RPMs from this service image.

    2. Download the PPE RTE for Linux update package into any directory on your system.
    3. Unzip and extract the RPM image(s) from the *.tar.gz file.
    4. Install the PPE RTE updates on your system using the rpm -i command. Refer to the "IBM Parallel Environment Runtime Edition Installation" for detailed information on upgrading IBM PE Runtime Edition for Linux.

    NOTE: The IBM PE Runtime Edition xCAT kit version 1.3.0.7 may be used to build a complete xCAT kit using this version of IBM PE Runtime Edition. Refer to the xCAT documentation for more information.
