Installing the ENOVIA V5 VPM Product Editor on UNIX

The installation procedure walked you through the installation of an ENOVIA V5 VPM server.

You can also install an ENOVIA VPM Product Editor on the same machine or on a different workstation from the server and which does not contain any server code.

The screen captures in this section illustrate the case where the ENOVIA VPM Product Editor is installed on a different machine from the server. If you install it on the same machine as the server, the dialogue will be the same as for installing an additional  product.
Note that to be able to start the client and connect to the server after the installation:
  • Orbix must be running on the server machine
  • the database must be running on the server machine.

Phase 1: Mount and Declare the CD-ROM

  1. Logon as root.
  2. Enter the command:

    df -k

    in order to verify that you have enough free disk space in the filesystem in which you intend to unload the code.

  3. Insert the CD-ROM for your UNIX operating system into the drive.

    If the software is on a suite of CD-ROMs, insert the first CD-ROM.

    If you are running Solaris, inserting the CD-ROM declares and mounts the CD-ROM automatically (unless you disabled this feature).

    If you are running AIX or HP-UX, check whether the CD-ROM drive is declared.

    On AIX, run the command:

    lsdev -C -c cdrom

    If a line like this is not displayed:

    cd0 Available 00-01-00-30-CD-ROM Drive

    you need to add the CD-ROM drive by using the smit AIX command, for example.

    On HP-UX, run the command:

    cat /etc/fstab

    If a line like this is not displayed:

    /dev/dsk/c201d1s0 /CDROM cdfs ro 0 0 0

    you need to add the CD-ROM drive, by using the sam HP-UX command, for example.

    If needed, create an entry in /etc/pfs_fstab, for instance:

    /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /CDROM pfs-rrip ro,suid 0 0

    Check if the pfs_mountd and pfsd daemons are running. If not, execute the commands:

    /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd& and /usr/sbin/pfsd&

    If you are running Solaris, inserting the CD-ROM declares and mounts the CD-ROM automatically (unless you disabled this feature).

  4. If you are running AIX and HP-UX, check whether the CD-ROM drive is mounted.

    If the CD-ROM drive is not mounted, you will have to mount it before proceeding. You can determine if the drive has already been mounted by typing the command:

    mount

    In the output lines, you should see a list of mounted file systems. The CD-ROM drive has already been mounted on your local system if a line similar to one of the following lines appears in the list:

    • /dev/cd0 cdrom cdfrs "date" ro (AIX)
    • cdrom on device readonly on "date" (HP-UX)

    where "date" is the current date.
     

  5. If you are running AIX and HP-UX, mount the CD-ROM drive, if necessary, by typing the commands:

    mount -v cdrfs -r /dev/cd0 /cdrom (AIX)
    mount /cdrom (HP-UX)

    You are now ready to begin the installation.
     

  6. On all UNIX platforms, change directory to the CD-ROM mount point.

    Phase 2: Unload the Files From the CD-ROM

  7. Check that the DISPLAY variable is exported appropriately before continuing, then enter the command:

    ./start

    to start the installation procedure, or:

    ./start -s

    if you want to start the installation procedure without the accompanying music.

    The Version 5 setup program will be run. The setup program checks you have the correct prerequisites. Then, the Welcome dialog box greets you. The setup program invokes a full self-explanatory graphical interface which walks you through the installation.

    The splashscreen appears and remains displayed in the background throughout the entire installation procedure, and the different dialog boxes you will interact with will be displayed in the foreground.

    Note that the default values are set to 1570/1590/200. If CATIA or DMU have been installed previously, these values are already taken. If this is the case, use different values than the CATIA and DMU port numbers.

    For Port Number for Orbix daemon, the default is 1570. A check is performed to determine if the port if free. If it is not free, the port number proposed is incremented by "1' until a free port is found.

    For Starting port number for daemon-run servers, the default is 1590. No check is performed to determine if the port if free. If it is not free, the port number proposed is incremented by "20".

  19. Click the Next button to move to the next step.

    The Vault Client Configuration dialog box is displayed.

    When installing a V5 product which contains a potential vault client, this dialog box prompts you to indicate if you want to configure a vault client at the end of the enoviadbsetup process.

    If you choose to configure a vault client, another dialog box will be displayed at the end of the installation, allowing you to enter the parameters of the vault server(s) you want to catalog: vault name, machine name, orbix port and orbix service name. This information is added in the VaultClient.properties file.

    After installation, you can run the VaultClientSetup command, in order to catalog another vault server, modify the parameters of an existing one, or remove an existing one.

    The VaultClientSetupB command provides the same functionalities in batch mode.
