Prepare your Linux operating system:
- The IBM Installation Manager is a 32-bit application and requires 32-bit versions of the operating system libraries. These libraries are not installed on RHEL 6.x x86_64 (64-bit) by default. Install them on the system before running the Installation Manager. Run the following tasks to install the libraries:
- yum install gtk2.i686
- yum install libXtst.i686
- yum install gtk2-engines.i686
- yum install libcanberra-gtk2.i686
- yum install PackageKit-gtk-module.i686
Alternatively, we can install all the libraries with one task:
yum install gtk2.i686 libXtst.i686 gtk2-engines.i686 libcanberra-gtk2.i686 PackageKit-gtk-module.i686
- For IBM GPFS file sharing, set the file system inodes limit to 25000 or higher.
mmchfs /dev/gpfs1nsd -F 250000
/dev/gpfs1nsd is the portal installation file system.
- For WCM, run ulimit -f to set the maximum size of file that can be created to be at least the size of the largest file you would need to upload to the content server. Run ulimit -a command to get a list of all the ulimit settings.
- Install and configure X server on Linux (for example X-Windows or GNOME) to use the GUI the installation program provides.
See the system documentation for information on adding packages.
X server is not required if installing with a response file.
