In order for the tooling to access the development AIX
system, a server side application must be installed.
Procedure
- Confirm that your system meets the software requirements
described in the section Software requirements.
- Confirm that your AIX user ID has root access.
- With the product image there is a AIX/Linux Server runtime
image. In that image, there is a directory called AIXServerRuntime.
In this directory are installp filesets. Copy the installp filesets
to a directory on the target AIX system.
- Install the installp filesets using a user ID that has
root access on the target AIX server using the "installp" or "smitty
installp" AIX commands. For example: "installp -agXd <directory_with_installp_filesets>
all"
- By default a daemon will start to run at port 8050. This
port is used by the tooling to communicate with the AIX system. To
configure a different port, you can edit the $port variable of the
/opt/IBM/RDAIXLinux/9.1/rse/daemon.pl script.
- To restart the daemon, an administrator will need to first
kill the daemon and then restart it via the "telinit q" command.
- To make the connection secure using SSL, the server needs
to be configured as follows:
- You need to use keytool (provided by the java SDK) to
generate a key pair (public and associated private key). The following
command can be used to do this, given an aliasname, keystorename and
a password: "keytool -genkey -alias <aliasname>
-validity 3650 -keystore <keystorename> -storepass <password>
-keypass <password>"
- After using keytool to generate a keystore, you need
to edit the ssl.properties file in the /opt/IBM/RDAIXLinux/9.1/rse
directory.
