Installing OpenSwitch

Follow these steps to run the RAP installer to install OpenSwitch.

  1. Log in as root. Stop and shut down all programs before running the installer.

  2. Insert the Risk Analytics Platform installation CD #1 into the CD drive.

    If Risk Analytics Setup does not start automatically, mount the drive, then use this command to start the installer:

    <CD_mount_directory>/rap_cd1/setup<Platform>.bin
    

    where <Platform> is the name of your operating system. For example, use the command /cdrom/rap_cd1/setupSolaris.bin on Sun Solaris.

    When you run the setup command, your current directory can be any directory that is not on the CD.

  3. Click Next on the Welcome screen.

  4. Choose a location and accept the license agreement.

    If you do not find a license agreement that matches your location, or if the license agreement is unreadable on your system, you can read all available license agreements on the Sybase Web site.

  5. Choose an installation directory.

    You can accept the default target directory or choose another installation directory:

  6. When the installer prompts you for the type of installation you want to perform, choose Custom. Click Next.

  7. When the installer prompts you for the features you want to install, choose Open Switch (Cache DB HA Option). Deselect any other options. Click Next.

  8. Read the installation summary. Click Install.

  9. When the OpenSwitch Installer starts, follow the instructions on the screen.

    Select Custom as the type of installation. Select Open Client, as well as other default components, on the list of features to install.

After installation, the installer identifies the OpenSwitch installation directory, and prompts you to decide whether you want to run the graphical configuration tool. If you want to configure OpenSwitch now, click Next. If not, click Cancel.
