Installation Guide


Installing Fathom Replication

You are now ready to install Fathom Replication.

To install Fathom Replication on each machine where it will run:

  1. Log in as root. If you do not know the root password for your machine, check with your system administrator.
  2. Insert the Fathom Replication installation CD into the CD-ROM drive.
  3. Note: There is an automount daemon on the Solaris platform that mounts the CD within approximately five seconds. If, however, the automount does not occur on your Solaris machine, use the mount command provided in Table 4–1.

  4. Enter your platform-specific mount command (where device-name is the device you are using for the installation and mount-point is the mount-point directory).
  5. Note: You cannot install on Linux over an NFS-mounted device.

    Table 4–1 lists the mount commands for each supported platform.

  7. mount-point/proinst 
    

    Note: You cannot run proinst if you are in the mount-point directory.

    • If you have one of the platforms for which Progress Software Corporation does not ship a JVM, the Installation utility searches for a JVM on your system. If the Installation utility does not detect a JVM, the following warning message appears:
    • The installation will continue, but you will be able to install only products that do not require a JVM.

    • The Installation utility also checks whether you have the JVM version that is supported by Progress on your system. If the Installation utility does not detect the supported JVM, a warning message appears.
    • You can choose to continue with the installation whether or not you have the supported JVM version on your system. However, Progress Software Corporation recommends you install the supported JVM version in order to ensure full functionality.

      If you are performing a batch installation, you can add an entry to the .ini file to allow batch installs to override this warning. See Progress Installation and Configuration Guide Version 9 for UNIX for more information.

    • If you have either the supported JVM version on your system or a platform for which Progress Software Corporation ships a JVM, the Welcome dialog box appears:
