Installing a secondary on UNIX

This procedure describes how to install a secondary Control-M full, Control-M/EM, or Control-M/Server for high availability on UNIX. A secondary installation uses the same installation parameters, database and schema, as the primary installation.

NOTE: The default installation is interactive and uses a GUI display. XServer must be running and configured using the DISPLAY environment variable. If you do not have XServer available, BMC recommends that you continue with the console installation or perform an automatic installation.

Before You Begin

Ensure that you have met the following requirements:

• Verify that your operating system and database software is compatible with the current version of Control-M, as described in Control-M full installation system requirements.
• Verify that the target computer is clean and does not have any previous Control-M version installed.
• Successful completion of Control-M pre-installation procedures on UNIX.

To install a secondary on UNIX:

1. Do one of the following:
   • Mount the installation DVD.
   • From the temporary directory that you created (see Product Distribution in the Control-M version 9.0.00 Release Notes), extract the .tar.Z file.
2. Set your DISPLAY environment variable, as described in Setting environment variables in UNIX.
3. From your home directory, type the following command:

   <source_path>/setup.sh

4. Do one of the following:
   • Interactive install: Select the Additional Installations > Secondary installation for High Availability option and continue with the on-screen instructions until the installation is complete.
   • Automatic install: Create a parameter file and then run the automatic install in a non-interactive mode, as follows:
     1. Select the Additional Installations > Secondary installation for High Availability option and continue with the on-screen instructions until the Summary window.
     2. Click Generate and select the location to create the XML parameter file.
     3. Click Yes to quit the installation.

        A confirmation message appears.

     4. Click Yes.
     5. Copy the automatic installation parameters file to a network location that is accessible to all computers where you want to perform an automatic installation.
     6. To run the installation script, type the following command:

     <source_path>/setup.sh -silent <xml_path>/<filename.xml>

   The installation logs can be found at the following location:

   <$HOME>/BMCINSTALL/log/BMC_Control-M_Install_<date-time>.log

   If you are using Oracle or MSSQL, the high availability environment is now activated. If you are using PostgreSQL, start the replication process, as described in Starting database replication.
