Initializing the Software

After the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service™ Appliance has been installed, you must initialize the software before the appliance can be used.

The initialization process configures the default appliance users, creates the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service™ server instance(s), and sets the IP addresses used to administer the appliance and connect to the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service™ servers using Central Administration.

  1. Accessing the Appliance System
    Directly connect to the appliance in order to begin the software initialization process.
  2. Configuring the Management Information
    Assign a management IP address, enabling remote access. This connection can be used to access the CLI and complete the software initialization process.
  3. Restarting the Software Initialization Process
    To continue the installation, restart the software initialization process by logging into the appliance using the tibadm login.
  4. Configuring Appliance Users
    Set initial passwords for the predefined tibadm and tibfile users. These user logins are for administering the appliance.
  5. Re-configuring Management Information
    If desired, update the appliance Management information.
  6. Configuring Host Information
    Specify your TCP networking service parameters.
  7. Configuring EMS Server Information
    Enter primary EMS server network information.
  8. Configuring Fault Tolerant Behavior
    For fault tolerant configurations, specify peer appliance information.
  9. Configuring Disaster Recovery
    For disaster recovery configurations, specify information regarding other quad members.
  10. Beginning Appliance Operations
    Once you have responded to the final prompt, your configuration is saved, and the CLI is ready for use.
