Installation Requirements and Pre-Installation Tasks : Pre-installation Tasks

Pre-installation Tasks
Pre-installation tasks include customizing your environment for certain platforms. In a production environment, you must set up an external database before installation because the database included with the installation is supported only for development.
Configuring Red Hat Linux 6 and AIX 5.3 32-bit Platforms
On 32-bit systems, you must install a number of additional 32-bit packages.
About this task 
You can use yum to install the packages. This example illustrates how to perform the task on Red Hat Linux 6.
* See the readme file for your product for a list of supported platforms. This document may describe platforms that are not supported for your product.
Procedure 
1.
Mount a Red Hat 6 64-bit ISO file such as rhel-server-6.1-x86_64-dvd.iso.
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom rhel-server-6.1-x86_64-dvd.iso
2.
Back up the properties file /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-source.repo.
cp /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-source.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-source.repo.bak
3.
Edit the following properties in /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-source.repo.
baseurl=file:///mnt/cdrom/Server
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
4.
yum install glibc.i686
yum install gtk2.i686
yum install PackageKit-gtk-module.i686
yum install libcanberra-gtk2.i686
yum install gtk2-engines.i686
yum install eclipse-swt* 
yum install libstdc++.so.5
5.
On AIX change the maximum allowable size of the ARG/ENV list. If you do not make this change, TIBCO Host instances cannot start. Open a terminal window and run the following command.
chdev -l sys0 -a ncargs=16
Configuring AIX Platforms
On AIX, change the maximum allowable size of the ARG/ENV list. If you do not make this change, TIBCO Host instances cannot start.
Before you begin 
If you installed a product that supports AIX 5.3 and you want to use that platform, you must install a number of prerequisite packages. See Configuring Red Hat Linux 6 and AIX 5.3 32-bit Platforms.
Procedure 
1.
2.
chdev -l sys0 -a ncargs=16
Configuring the Maximum Number of Open Files on Linux Platforms
Your Linux platform default settings might have a limit on the maximum number of open files and file descriptors that is too low for the product you want to install. You can change this number by editing the limits.conf configuration file.
About this task 
On all Linux systems, the operating system controls the maximum number of open files and file descriptors. The threshold is typically too low and must be increased. The exact number depends on the features you select during installation and configuration and on the size of the workspace. In most cases, 10000 files is sufficient.
Procedure 
1.
Edit /etc/security/limits.conf and add the following line:
* hard nofile 10000
