This topic instructs you on Load Balancer installation
using system packaging tools and requirements for HP-UX operating
systems.
Before you begin
For information on hardware and software requirements,
including supported browsers, refer to the following Web page: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27006921.
You cannot have two installations of the Dispatcher component
installed on the same system. If you have a previous version of the
Edge components installed, uninstall the Dispatcher component before
starting the installation process for Load Balancer for IPv4 and IPv6.
Refer to Uninstalling Load Balancer for
more information.
About this task
The Java 2 SDK automatically installs with Load Balancer
on all platforms. If you are migrating from a previous version of
Load Balancer, or reinstalling the operating system, prior to installation
you can save any of your previous configuration files or script files
for Load Balancer.
- After installation, place your configuration files in the install_root/configurations/dispatcher
directory.
- After installation, place your script files in the install_root/servers/bin
directory in order to run them.
Procedure
- Ensure that you have root level access, and login as the
local superuser root. Enter the following command:
su - root
Password: password
- Issue the install command:
swinstall -s /source package_name
where source is
the absolute directory path for the location of the package, and package_name is
the name of the package. The following is the list of packages:

You can choose to install some of
the packages if you do not want the entire product installated. If
you want to install Dispatcher, install the following packages:
- Base
- Dispatcher
- License
- Native
If you want to install Metric Server, install the following packages:
- Base
- Metric Server
- Native
The following command installs just the base package for
Load Balance, ibmulb.base, if you are installing the packages from
the root of the CD:
swinstall -s /source ibmulb.base
To
install all the packages for Load Balancer issue the following command,
if you are installing the packages from the root of the CD:
swinstall -s /source ibmulb
- Verify the installation of the Load Balancer packages. Issue the swlist command to list all the packages that
you installed. For example:
swlist -l fileset ibmulb
What to do next
The installation process does not add the
command directories for Load Balancer into the PATH environment variable.
To run Load Balancer commands from the system root, add the command
directories to the PATH environment variable.
Avoid trouble: If
you had previous installation of the Dispatcher component installed,
be aware that Load Balancer for IPv4 versions of the Dispatcher component
used commands in the /usr/bin directory, which might be in the PATH
variable. Load Balancer for IPv4 and IPv6 has commands in the
install_root/bin
directory, so be aware that the directory entries point to the appropriate
directories for the dsserver and dscontrol command.
