Updating Caching Proxy for AIX, HP-UX, Linux, and Solaris
operating systems
Before you begin
Consider the following items before proceeding with the installation
of the refresh or fix pack.
- You must uninstall any versions of the product from your system
that are going to be updated, but you must have an earlier version
of Edge Components V7.0 installed on your system. When you uninstall
the license package, the license file will be left on your system.
Do not manually remove this file, because the license file is required
for the update to start.
- With the exception of Load Balancer, to install an refresh package,
the corresponding Version 7.0 package must already exist on your machine.
For example, you cannot apply the V7.0.0.1 Components Fix Pack for
the Caching Proxy package if the Caching Proxy V7.0 package does not
exist on a machine. You can directly install the CEMA language packages
in the fix packs, however. The CEMA language packages refer to the
Central Europe, Middle East, and Africa (CEMA) languages that are
supported by WebSphere Application Server such as Czech, Russian,
Hungarian, Polish.

Linux, or Solaris operating systems
Using the package installation tools for your operating system,

Table 8. System-specific directives to install Caching Proxy
System-specific directives to
install Caching Proxy |
Operating System |
Commands |
AIX |
installp -acXd source package_name where source is
the directory for the location of the package, and package_name is
the name of the package.
For example:
- The following command installs the admin package, which is called
wses_admin.rte, when the packages reside in the current directory:
installp -acXd . wses_admin.rte
- The following command installs the admin package when the packages
reside in the /tmp directory.
installp -acXd /tmp wses_admin.rte
If you are using the System Management Interface Tool
(SMIT):
- Select the install_latest option.
- Set the value in the COMMIT software updates field to yes.
|
HP-UX |
swinstall -s /source package_name where source is
the directory for the location of the package, and package_name is
the name of the package.
For example, the following command installs
the administration package for Caching Proxy, which is called WSES-ADMIN,
when the packages reside in the current directory:
swinstall -s /admin WSES-ADMIN
To
verify the installation of the packages, issue the swlist command
to list all of the packages that you have installed. For example,
issue the following commands to list all of the packages that are
installed for Caching Proxy:
swlist gsk* swlist WSES* |
Linux |
rpm -iv --replacefiles package_name where package_name is the name of the package.
For
example, use the following command:
rpm -iv --replacefiles WSES_Admin_Runtime-6.1.0-1.686.rpm
Note:
Do not use the -U option. The --replacefiles option is required
for most packages. Using this option with packages that do not require
it will not affect their installation. After installation, the previously
installed versions of the new packages are still on the machine. Do
not uninstall them. |
Solaris |
pkgadd -d source package_name where source is
the directory for the location of the package, and package_name is
the name of the package.
For example:
To use the silent installation, use the -a option and
specify an administration file. An administration file, which is called
instadm, is provided with the packages that you are installing.
After
installation, the previously installed versions of the new packages
are still on the machine. Do not uninstall them. |
