Chapter 2 Platform-Specific Instructions : Installation on UNIX

Installation on UNIX
This section gives information that is specific to UNIX platforms.
Supported Platforms and Installation Packages
TIBCO Enterprise Message Service is available on the UNIX operating systems listed in Table 4. (For the latest changes, see the README file.)
This platform does not support Central Administration.
IA64 (Itanium)
This platform does not support Central Administration.
Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise 11
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x and 6.x
Mac OS X 10.5, 10.6, 10.7
Mac OS X uses the TIBCO Universal Installer (it does not use Apple's installer GUI).
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11
IBM zSeries 11.3, 11.4
This platform does not support these features:
Central Administration
This platform does not support Central Administration.
This platform does not support Central Administration.
EMS on 64-Bit Systems
TIBCO Enterprise Message Service installations on 64-bit platforms usually include both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the EMS server and multicast daemons. All daemons are installed in the EMS_HOME/bin directory, and you may use either or both versions. There is no difference between the two versions other than the processing speed.
Table 5 shows the names given to each daemon version. Note that on a few 64-bit systems, only the 64-bit version is provided. In such cases, the 64-bit daemons use the standard daemon name. This is the case, for example, on all 64-bit Windows systems.
 
Throughout the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service documentation, the EMS daemons are refered to by their standard daemon names. For example, server daemon is referred to as tibemsd. The descriptions and instructions apply to both daemon 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
Root Access and Administrative Privileges
If TIBCO Enterprise Message Service is installed and the tibemsd is started as root, it drops root permissions after the server starts. This protects the EMS server from security exploits. Once the server has dropped root privileges, it cannot write to the files created during the installation. As a result, it is not able to create configuration and log files. To avoid this conflict, create the necessary directories and assign the appropriate privileges to the regular user ID with which the EMS server is started.
Installation on Mac Platforms
The JDK version required to install TIBCO Enterprise Message Service on Mac platforms on Intel hardware:
Intel Hardware
In order to install TIBCO Enterprise Message Service on Mac Intel systems, JDK version 1.7 must be pre-installed and included in the PATH environment variable. JDK 1.7 must be installed on the target host machine when installing the macosx_x86.tar.gz package. You will not be able to complete the EMS installation if an earlier version of the JDK is installed.
Loading the JVM on AIX
The JVM is required to run certain features, such as extensible security and database storage.
In order to load the IBM JVM on AIX, you must set module_path in the tibemsd.conf to point to the directory containing the libjvm.so and its dependent libraries. These libraries are part of your JRE installation.
Dynamically Linked Libraries
The EMS server dynamically loads the SSL and compression shared libraries, rather than statically linking them. If the tibemsd executable is executed from the bin directory, it automatically locates these libraries. If the server is moved elsewhere, the shared library directory must be moved as well.
