Command line installation using installp

To install Tivoli Directory Server from a command prompt:

1. Log in as root.
2. If you want to include security functions, install GSKit. See Installing GSKit. (A supported version of GSKit must be installed before you install any of the "max_crypto" packages.)
3. If you are installing from a DVD:
   1. Insert the DVD into the DVD drive and mount the DVD.
   2. If you are installing the client, server, or Web Administration Tool, go to the /tdsfiles subdirectory on the DVD.

      If you are installing a language pack for a language other than English, go to the /tdsLangpack/native directory on the DVD. (You must install a language pack for the language in which you want server messages displayed. You can install the language pack before or after you install the server.)

   If you are installing from the .tar files:

   1. Go to the directory where you untarred the files.
   2. If you are installing the client, server, or Web Administration Tool, go to the /tdsV6.3/tdsfiles subdirectory.

      If you are installing a language pack for a language other than English, go to the /tdsV6.3/tdsLangpack/native directory. (You must install a language pack for the language in which you want server messages displayed. You can install the language pack before or after you install the server.)

4. Determine which Tivoli Directory Server packages and which language packs you need. See Packages, filesets, and prerequisites for information. To see the packages that are available for installation, type the following command:

   installp -ld . | grep idsldap

   A list of all the installable Tivoli Directory Server packages or language packs is displayed. (This depends on which subdirectory you started the installp command from.)
5. At a command prompt, install the required packages by typing the following command:

   installp -acgXd . packages 

   where :
   • -a stands for apply.
   • -c stands for commit.
   • -g installs prerequisites if necessary.
   • -X increases the file system space if needed.
   • -d stands for device.
   • packages is the package name or list of package names you want to install.

   Examples:

   To install all of the Tivoli Directory Server filesets, type:

   installp -acgXd . idsldap

6. Upon completion of installation, the system generates an installation summary. Verify that the Result column shows success for all loaded files. You can also verify that Tivoli Directory Server was installed successfully by typing the following at a command prompt:

   lslpp -aL | grep -i idsldap

   The output displayed lists all the filesets starting with idsldap. This list includes the server, client, Web Administration Tool, HTML, and message filesets. For example:

1. If you install the Web Administration Tool, DSML files are also copied to your computer. See Appendix M. Installing and configuring DSML for information about installing and configuring DSML.
2. If you install the Web Administration Tool, a Web application server such as Embedded WebSphere Application Server is required to run the tool. See Appendix H.
