Step 3: Installing SwitchServer/2 and other CallPath components

Previous IBM CallPath versions of this product required users to manually launch AIX installs using the installp command; however, in CallPath Version 6 Release 3.1, AIX installs are launched by running an interactive shell script that is located in the root directory of the CD.

Note:: Only a person with root or administrator authority can install these products.

Installing CallPath Server

CallPath Server is located on the CallPath Server CD and the CallPath Enterprise CD. To install or update CallPath Server for AIX, do the following:

Ensure that any previous IBM CallPath versions of this product are not running. If you attempt to install CallPath Server for AIX while a copy of IBM CallPath Server is already running, the installation will be abended. You will be prompted with recovery instructions.
Insert the CallPath Server CD or the CallPath Enterprise CD into your CD-ROM drive.
Before the CD-ROM can be accessed on AIX systems, a mount point must be established on the machine where the CD-ROM drive resides. This mount point can be created by issuing the AIX mount command or by using the SMIT utility as follows:
- To issue the AIX mount command, enter the following command at an AIX prompt:
```
mount -v cdrfs -r /dev/cd0 /home/cdrom
```
  where /dev/cd0 is the device location and /home/cdrom is the mount point.
- To use the SMIT utility, do the following:
  1. Type the smit command at an AIX prompt.
  2. Select System Storage Management.
  3. Select File System.
  4. Select List of All Mounted File Systems. If a CD-ROM drive appears in the list, you can skip the remaining steps.
  5. Click Cancel on the List of All Mounted File Systems dialog.
  6. Select Mount a File System. In the dialog that appears, enter the following information:
    
    File System Name
    /dev/cd0
    Directory Over Which to Mount
    /home/cdrom
    Type of File System
    cdrfs
    Mount as Read Only
    Yes
    
    Use the default settings for the remaining items.
  7. Click OK to process the mount request.
From the command prompt, change to the root directory of the CD (mount point).
Type setupaix.bat and press Enter.
Follow the prompts to start the installation.
After the product files are copied to your system, the installation program will ask you if you would like to run a script called cpspost. If you choose to run cpspost, it will perform the following tasks:
- Adjust AIX Processes Per User if necessary.
- Create CallPath administrative user cpadmin (if it does not already exist).
- Assign cpadmin ownership of all product files in directory /usr/lpp/csasrvr.
- Create application softlink CPServer in /home/cpadmin, the home directory for cpadmin. CPServer starts the CallPath Server Management Facility.
- Add the environment variable CSA_DIR for cpadmin's profile and root's profile.
Notes:
1. Running cpspost is optional. If you are an existing CallPath customer, and you already have an environment for CallPath, you can choose to use it instead. However, if you are a new CallPath customer, you should run cpspost because it greatly simplifies initial setup.
2. After cpspost is run, you must perform the following tasks before attempting to use cpadmin:
  1. If cpadmin did not exist before cpspost was run, set the initial password for cpadmin by issuing the following command:
```
passwd cpadmin
```
  2. Log out from your current session.
  3. Log in with user cpadmin.
  If you are using XWindows, you should perform the following additional taks:
  1. In the file /home/cpadmin/.dtprofile, remove the pound symbol (#) from the line DTSOURCEPROFILE=true. Making this change will enable cpadmin to use its base profile information in the XWindows environment. If you need to run CallPath Server from root, you should also make the same change to the file /.dtprofile.
  2. Log out from your current session.
  3. Log in with user cpadmin.
3. If you choose to run cpspost after the CallPath Server install, it will be run automatically after you install additional CallPath Server components or service updates. If you want to prevent cpspost from running automatically, delete the file /usr/lpp/csasrvr/bin/cpspost.used.
4. If you use SMIT to install CallPath Server, you will not be given the option to run cpspost. You must launch cpspost manually. (See the next note for instructions.)
5. If cpspost is not run immediately after an installation, you can launch it at a later time by running the following command:
```
/usr/lpp/csasrvr/bin/cpspost
```
6. You must have root authority to run cpspost.
If you did not run cpspost, you must manually change the owner and/or group of the product files (to allow CallPath Server to be run by an AIX user other than root). To change the owner of the product files, issue the command chown -R user:group /usr/lpp/csasrvr, where user is the AIX user that will administer CallPath Server, and group is the primary group of the AIX user. To allow all of the users in an AIX group to administer CallPath Server, issue the command chgrp -R group /usr/lpp/csasrvr, where group is the AIX group. For more information, see the AIX documentation.

If you use cpspost and you are logged in as cpadmin or root, you do not need to set any user environment variables before launching the CallPath Server Administration Facility. However, in all other cases, you must set the environment variable CSA_DIR. by adding the following line to the user's .profile file:

export CSA_DIR=/usr/lpp/csasrvr

See the AIX product documentation for additional information.

If you are installing CallPath Server Version 6.3.1 over IBM CallPath Server Version 1.X, but you want to retain the current switch level, you must first uninstall the previous IBM CallPath Developer's Toolkit. This is necessary to accommodate a new directory structure.

Note:: Uninstalling CallPath Server for AIX removes the entire CallPath directory structure.

Installing a switch connection

Switch connections are located on the CallPath Switch Dependent Connections CD. To install a switch connection, do the following:

Insert the CallPath Switch Dependent Connections CD into your CD-ROM drive.
If you have not already done so, mount your CD-ROM drive using the instructions in Installing CallPath Server.
From the command prompt, change to the root directory of the CD.
Type setupaix.bat and press Enter.
Follow the prompts to start the installation.

Installing or updating CallPath Server Toolkit for AIX

The CallPath Server Toolkit is located on the CallPath Server CD and the CallPath Enterprise CD. To install the CallPath Server Toolkit, do the following:

Insert the CallPath Server CD or the CallPath Enterprise CD into your CD-ROM drive.
If you have not already done so, mount your CD-ROM drive using the instructions listed above.
From the command prompt, change to the root directory of the CD.
Type setupaix.bat and press Enter.
Follow the prompts to start the installation.
