Installing onto the primary computer

Use this information to install Rational® Synergy on the primary computer.

About this task

You must first install onto the primary computer because its installed binary files are used to run the ccm_install command when you create installation areas on other computers.

Procedure

  1. Follow the steps in Installing the software to set up the primary installation.
  2. 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.
    Note: 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.

Example

For example, on an Oracle Solaris platform, enter the following commands to use the /vol/sun/ccm72 directory for the primary installation.

root@sol# mkdir /vol/sun/ccm72
root@sol# cd /usr/local
root@sol# ln -s /vol/sun/ccm72 ccm72
root@sol# CCM_HOME=/usr/local/ccm72; export CCM_HOME
root@sol# PATH=$CCM_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH
root@sol# cd ccm72
root@sol# /media/ccm/unix/bin/ccm_install -x
