Installation

The Net Search Extender server is available on AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, Linux, Windows NT, Windows 2000, OS/390, and z/OS. There are some operating system differences between workstation and host platforms. This chapter concentrates on the workstation platform's behavior.

The installation process varies by platform. For UNIX platforms, log in as a root user. For Windows platforms, log in as an administrator. On AIX, Text Extender is installed using the smit tool or installp. On Sun, the product is installed using pkgadd. On HP-UX, use the sam tool. On Windows platforms, run the setup.exe executable.

Like the other Extender products, AIV Extenders also has an instance and CLP. The AIV Extenders instance is created with the dmbicrt command. The instance is started by typing dmbstart and stopped by typing dmbstop.
