RRDI Install on AIX - WAS bitness, 5-part IM Repo
I know there's an Insight forum, but the RRDI install page says to come here with my RRDI questions. So, here I am.
Anyway, preparing to install RRDI on AIX 6.1. How I determine the 32-bitness of my WAS 7.0.0.15 installation? Is it just the JVM? That says:
Or, how do I tell? Now, about the multi-part IM repo for RRDI. I downloaded and unpacked all 5 pieces, each into their own directory. I fire up IM and start adding the repos (File -> Preferences -> etc.). The first one goes fine. When I try to add disk2 I get: "Wrong Disk. Expected Disk 1, got Disk 2" What is IM trying to say with that? Thanks for you help. - Larry. |

So, here's what I found:
No, that's not the way to determine WAS' bitness. It was a 64-bit WAS. And they're not kidding when they say you need a 32-bit WAS. The installation was DOA on 64-bit WAS. re: The 5-part RRDI download: First, it's actually a 6-part download (D'Oh!). If IM needs parts 2-6 (a.k.a. Disks 2-6) it'll ask you for the path to the next part/Disk it needs. Mundane installs like Linux/x86 fit in the first part/disk. Exotic installs like AIX ask for all 6 parts. No unattended installs for you AIX types. Also, you'll need buckets of space in /opt - 10GB for RRDI, plus whatever a 32-bit WAS install needs (DB2 9.7 was already installed; if you need that, add that in, too). Plus table space (I put that in /home). Plus 8GB for the IM repos, if you keep those locally (just for the duration). - Larry. |
