You must first install onto the primary machine because its installed binaries are used to execute the ccm_install command when you create installation areas on other machines.
Follow the steps in Installing the software to set up the primary installation. Be sure that the CCM_HOME directory points to a symbolic link and that the symbolic link (or mount point and its contents) is accessible throughout the network.
You can set up the primary installation much like a normal Rational Synergy installation. However, you can choose an installation directory that is named according to the platform.
For example, on a Solaris platform, enter the following commands to use the
/vol/sun/ccm71 directory for the primary installation.
root@sol# mkdir /vol/sun/ccm71 root@sol# cd /usr/local root@sol# ln -s /vol/sun/ccm71 ccm71 root@sol# CCM_HOME=/usr/local/ccm71; export CCM_HOME root@sol# PATH=$CCM_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH root@sol# cd ccm71 root@sol# /media/ccm/unix/bin/ccm_install -x
