When configuring AIX®,
HPUX, HPUXi, Linux, Linux on System z®, or Solaris, ensure the hosts file
contents, ensure the minimum required disk and temp space, and determine
your port requirements.
Procedure
To configure AIX,
HPUX, HPUXi, Linux, Linux on System z, or Solaris for FileNet® P8 servers:
- Ensure hosts file contents. On each FileNet P8 server that does not use
DNS (Domain Name Service) or NIS (Network Information Service), the /etc/hosts file
must contain the name and Internet Protocol (IP) address of all servers
it will communicate with, including the remote database server, if
applicable.
- Ensure minimum required disk space and temp space for installation. See IBM®
FileNet P8 system requirements.
- Determine port requirements. Consult with the
application server, database, and FileNet P8 administrators to determine
port requirements for all the servers in your installation environment.
- If you intend to install FileNet P8 components
interactively, ensure that each FileNet P8 server
running on AIX, HPUX, HPUXi, Linux, Linux on System
z, or Solaris uses the X Window system. If you are
going to install components from a remote machine, verify that the
remote machine has an X Window terminal emulator. If you will use
a Windows client to connect to the AIX, HPUX, HPUXi, Linux, Linux
on System z, or Solaris server to install, either set the DISPLAY environment
variable to the null (blank) value, or start X Window on the server
before you begin the silent installation or uninstallation procedure.
- For Red Hat Linux 5.x or higher, change the security setting
before installation.
Red Hat
Enterprise Linux versions 5.x or higher have a security
feature that can cause errors during installation. For details on resolving the issue before you
install, see System requirements: Hardware and software requirements for IBM
FileNet P8.
