Lesson 2.1: Start the console and install the eXtreme Scale server bundle

In this lesson, you use the Equinox OSGi console to install the WebSphere® eXtreme Scale server bundle.

1. Use the following command to start the Equinox OSGi console:

   cd equinox_root 
   java -jar plugins\org.eclipse.osgi_3.6.1.R36x_v20100806.jar -console

2. After the OSGi console is started, issue the ss command in the console, and the following bundles are started:
   Attention: If you completed the task, Installing eXtreme Scale bundles, then the bundle has already been activated. If the bundle is started, then stop the bundle before you complete this step.

3. Install the objectgrid.jar bundle.
   To start a server in the Java™ virtual machine (JVM), you need to install an eXtreme Scale server bundle. This eXtreme Scale server bundle can start a server and create containers. Use the following command to install the objectgrid.jar file:

   osgi> install file:///wxs_home/lib/objectgrid.jar

   See the following example:

   osgi> install file:///opt/wxs/ObjectGrid/lib/objectgrid.jar

   Equinox displays its bundle ID; for example:

   Bundle id is 19

   Remember: Your bundle ID might be different. The file path must be an absolute URL to the bundle path. Relative paths are not supported.
