Download and extract the Adaptive Server install image from the secure download site.
Navigate to the directory where you have extracted the software and start the installer by entering:
./setup
The Welcome screen displays. Click Next.
When the license selection window displays, select the most appropriate location from the list, read the license terms, and then click “I agree” to proceed.
If the country you are located in is not listed, select the most appropriate area.
Click Next.
The Install directory window appears. Click Next to accept the default of:
/opt/sybase
You can also enter a directory for installation. If you specify a directory that does not already exist, the installer creates it for you. Sybase recommends that you install the Cluster Edition in its own directory.
You can choose from three types of installations in the Install Type window:
Typical
Full
Custom
If you select Custom, the Products and Features Selection window displays.
Select the products you want to install by checking the box next to each product name.
After you have made your selection, click Next.
Some features are dependent on other features; therefore,
you cannot unselect some items without first unselecting others.
Before proceeding to the next window, the installer verifies the selections and checks for dependencies and available disk space. If there is not enough disk space an error message appears.
If you are installing this Adaptive Server into a directory with an existing Adaptive Server installation, the installer checks to see if the existing license authorizes use of the Adaptive Server version being currently installed. If the license does not authorize the use of this version, then a warning is displayed asking if you want to proceed with the installation.
You should proceed only if you have an updated license that authorizes use of this version.
Note: Failure to apply an updated license will cause
Adaptive Server to stop working after this updated version is installed.
The Sybase Software Asset Management License Server screen allows you to designate where Adaptive Server will find its licenses. Where you choose to store your license depends upon whether you have selected a served or unserved license model.
For information about served and unserved licenses,
and about choosing the best license server for your environment,
see Chapter 2, “Choosing a License Model” of the Sybase
Software Asset Management Users Guide.
You must specify whether the licenses will be obtained from a license server. If you answer:
Yes – you must know the host name of the machine where the license manager is running, and the port number if you have used a non-default port number.
No – you are using unserved licenses. You will be reminded to download and install the license file after you have finished the installation.
When you download the license file, copy it to $SYBASE/$SYBASE_SYSAM/licenses.
The Product Edition and License type panel is displayed next. Select the Product Edition you are installing and the License type under which you have licensed Adaptive Server.
For this version, there is only one product edition
choice, “Cluster Edition.”
The Sybase Software Asset Management Notification screen asks you to configure your server for e-mail notification. When configuration is enabled, designated users receive information about license management events requiring attention.
Provide the following information:
SMTP server host name
SMTP server port number
E-mail Return Address
Recipient e-mail addresses
Message severity that triggers e-mail messages
The Product Selection Summary window displays the selections that you have made.
Verify that you have selected the correct type of installation. Click Next to proceed.
The Install Progress window shows the progress of the installation.
The Install Status window displays the result of the installation process.
Click Finish to exit the installer and go on to the next step.
Adaptive Server Enterprise Cluster Edition files are on your computer. Next, follow the steps in Chapter 3, “Creating and Starting the Cluster.”
