Installing TIBCO FTL Message Switch Software on a Virtual Machine

This procedure is the final task in creating a virtual machine for developing and testing software for TIBCO FTL Message Switch hardware.

The preceding tasks have prepared the environment for the installation of TIBCO FTL Message Switch software.

Prerequisites

The TIBCO FTL Message Switch software package is downloaded to the host computer. For instructions, see Downloading the Software Upgrade Packages, however, you do not need to download the nvOS operating system package.

Procedure

  1. In the file browser, open the download folder you created when installing the Java JDK.
  2. Drag the TIBCO FTL Message Switch package file from the download directory on the host computer to the download folder on the virtual machine.
  3. Double-click the package file to open it.
  4. Extract the files from the package.
    1. Click Extract.
    2. Select Extract > All files.
    3. Click Extract.
  5. Open a terminal window by clicking the icon at the top of the virtual machine desktop, and start a superuser shell.
    sudo bash
    cd /home/user_name/download_folder
  6. Run the installer file
    ./TIB_ftls_release_ftl_ftl_release.bin
  7. Clean up.
    pkg unset-publisher tibco.com
  8. Save the virtual image.
    1. Shut down the operating system of the virtual machine.
      In the OpenIndiana menu bar, click System > Shut Down.
    2. Power-off the virtual machine.
      Right-click the virtual machine in the Library pane, and click Power > Power Off.
    3. Exit the VMware product.
      File > Exit.
    4. Archive a compressed copy of the directory that contains all the resource files of the virtual machine.
      Use any standard archive tool, such as zip or tar.
    The resulting archive file is a backup copy of the fully configured virtual machine.

What to do next

Test the virtual machine by running TIBCO FTL components and sample applications.
