Release 10.1B: OpenEdge Replication
Installation Guide


Installing OpenEdge Replication

You are now ready to install OpenEdge Replication. Note that as you proceed through the installation, OpenEdge online Help assistance is available.

To install OpenEdge Replication on each machine where it will run:

  1. Log in as root. If you do not know the root password for your machine, check with your system administrator.
  2. Insert the OpenEdge Replication installation CD into the CD-ROM drive.
  3. Note: There is an automount daemon on the Solaris platform that mounts the CD within approximately five seconds. If, however, the automount does not occur on your Solaris machine, use the mount command provided in Table 4–1.

  4. Enter your platform-specific mount command (where device-name is the device you are using for the installation and mount-point is the mount-point directory).
  5. Note: You cannot install on Linux over an NFS-mounted device.

    Table 4–1 lists the mount commands for each supported platform.
