Starting the Instance Administration Tool

To use the Instance Administration Tool on AIX®, Linux, and Solaris systems, you must be logged in as root. On Windows systems, you must be logged on as a member of the Administrators group.

The Instance Administration Tool can be started in different ways:

• When you install a server using the InstallShield GUI, the Instance Administration Tool starts:
  • After installation to view the default instance you created if you use the Typical installation path.
  • After installation to create an instance for which you specify all options if you use the Custom installation path.
• If you want to create a new instance or edit an existing one, you can start the Instance Administration Tool from the command line:
  1. Go to the sbin subdirectory of the directory where Tivoli Directory Server 6.3 is installed. This directory is:
     • On Windows systems, by default:

       C:\Program Files\IBM\LDAP\V6.3\sbin

     • On AIX and Solaris systems: /opt/IBM/ldap/V6.3/sbin
     • On Linux systems: /opt/ibm/ldap/V6.3/sbin
  2. Type idsxinst.
• On Windows systems, you can also click Start -> All Programs -> IBM Tivoli Directory Server 6.3-> Instance Administration Tool.
