4.2 Software Installation

The final step in the Execution Container installation must be executed as the mzadmin UNIX user. The following command session will set up the directory structure and install all the software. The release content directory is the working directory for the installation.

To install the software:

  1. Enter the extracted directory:

    $ cd ./<staging directory>/<release content directory>

     

  2. Execute the installation:

    $ ./setup.sh install

    Hint!

    You can use the following properties with setup.sh to modify the behavior of the script.

    PropertyDescription

    install.str.remote.enabled

    Default: true

    Enable remote access to the Execution Container.  For information about enabling remote access after the installation, see 2.2 Remote Access to Containers in the System Administrator's Guide.

    install.str.remote.ping.disabled

    Default: false

    Disable validation of Platform connection to Execution Container before enabling remote access.

    install.str.remote.ping.timeout

    Default: 5000

    Set timeout limit for validation of Platform connection in milliseconds.

    silentMode

    Default: n

    By default, the setup script verifies that the target filesystem has at least 5GB of free space. If the validation fails you will be prompted to continue or not. Choosing not to continue aborts the installation. Set the value of silentMode to y to disable validation.

    Example - Setting properties in setup.sh

    $ ./setup.sh install -DsilentMode=y

  3. If the Platform was running during the installation, the Execution Container will be registered in STR. You can register the container manually by using the command mzsh topo register

    Example - Register container.

     $ mzsh topo register 

The installation of the Execution Container is now completed.
