IBM Tivoli Directory Server, Version 6.3

Installing Tivoli Directory Server using AIX utilities

You can use either of the following utilities to install Tivoli Directory Server on AIX®:

Attention: If you are upgrading from Tivoli Directory Server 6.0, 6.1, or 6.2, use the instructions in Upgrading from previous releases.

Before you install Tivoli Directory Server, be sure you have a supported version of DB2® installed. (See IBM® Tivoli® Directory Server version 6.3 System Requirements for supported versions of DB2.)

If you want to use the version of DB2 provided with Tivoli Directory Server, use the db2_install utility to install it. The db2_install utility is in the /db2 directory of the Tivoli Directory Server DVD if you have one, or in the tdsV6.3/db2/ directory of the directory where you untarred the DB2 tar file for AIX.

Notes:
  1. After you start the db2_install utility, you are prompted for a keyword. In response to this prompt, type ESE.
  2. After you install DB2, you can check the /tmp/db2_install_log.99999 file to verify that the installation was successful. (99999 is a random number associated with the installation.)
  3. The db2_install command might fail with the following message: 
    A minor error occurred while installing "DB2 Enterprise Server Edition" on
this computer. Some features may not function correctly.

For more information see the DB2 installation log at 
     "/tmp/db2_install.log.*".
    If this occurs, check the log shown in the message for the following error: 
    DBI1130E  The SA MP Base Component could not be installed or updated
        because system prerequisites were not met. See the log file
        /tmp/prereqSAM.log.* for details.
    This error does not affect the functioning of DB2 with the server and can be ignored.

If you are installing the Web Administration Tool, you must also install a Web application server such as Embedded WebSphere Application Server. See Appendix H. Installing, configuring, and uninstalling Embedded WebSphere Application Server for information.

The server and the client from Tivoli Directory Server 6.3 can coexist with the following clients and servers:

If any of these are installed, you can leave them installed.

Notes:
  1. For a server with no X11 support, do not install the Java client, which is in package idsldap.cltjava63, when you install the server. However, you will not be able to use the Instance Administration Tool or the Configuration Tool, which require Java, and you must use the command line to create directory server instances and configure the database.
  2. You do not need to install security functions if you are not going to use them. You can provide SSL by installing a Global Security Kit (GSKit), which is included with Tivoli Directory Server 6.3, and then the SSL package on the client, server, or both. See Installing GSKit for more information.
  3. If you are installing Tivoli Directory Server on a node within an RS/6000® SP environment, see Before installing on a node within an RS/6000 SP environment before beginning installation.

For more detailed information about installation procedures and commands for the AIX operating system, see the AIX Installation Guide provided with the operating system.
