Extracting the installation module

Extract the installer from the provided DataMagic Server media, and copy it to your hard disk. To extract the installer, use the following command.

When you install the program, choose an installer from the list corresponding to your OS and its memory address size (bits). For example, to find an installer for a 32-bit OS, locate a file name with the suffix 32.tar. The following is an extract of the directory structure on the provided media.

Setup

+---- datamagic_aix32.tar

+---- datamagic_aix64.tar

+---- datamagic_hpux32.tar

+---- datamagic_hpux64.tar

+---- datamagic_linux32.tar

+---- datamagic_linux64.tar

+---- datamagic_solaris32.tar

+---- datamagic_solaris64.tar

+---- datamagic_zlinux64.tar

To expand the installation module:

1. Extract from the provided media or downloaded module.

Copy the provided media or downloaded module to the local disk.

This section assumes the provided media or downloaded module is copied and extracted to /tmp.

2. Prepare the work directory for installation:

# pwd
/usr/local/MAGIC
# mkdir insttmp 
# ls
insttmp

3. Extract to the hard disk: (example for 64-bit Solaris)

# cd /usr/local/MAGIC/insttmp
# pwd
/usr/local/MAGIC/insttmp
# ls
#
# tar xf /tmp/datamagic_solaris64.tar
# ls
_data_magic  _data_magic_code_etc  _data_magic_etc_eng  _data_magic_etc_jpn  _data_magic_tool  installer

= Remarks =

After installation is complete and you confirm that DataMagic is running correctly, the installation work directory that contains the extracted module is no longer necessary. Delete this directory.
