2.4 Preparing for Manual Installation or Upgrade

This topic contains instructions on how to download and unpack the Nitro Tarball Bundle for all the hosts in your configuration.

Whether you are installing tarballs on one host or on several hosts, each host (physical machine) on which a server is installed (RLM Server, Nitro, Nitro Web Servcies) must have the Nitro Tarball Bundle.

Nitro Web Services is currently not available for SUSE 11-based systems; it is not in the Tarball bundle for that OS.

2.4.1 Set Up Proxies

If your site uses a proxy to connect to the Internet, do the following:

export http_proxy=http://<proxy_server_id>:<port>

export https_proxy=http://<proxy_server_id>:<port>

2.4.2 Download and Unpack the Nitro Tarball Bundle

The Nitro Tarball Bundle contains all the tarballs available for Nitro. However, not every tarball may be installed on the same host.

On each host (physical machine), do the following:

Using a web browser, navigate to the Adaptive Computing Nitro Download website.
Download the Nitro Tarball Bundle (nitro-tarball-bundle-<version>-<OS>.tar.gz).
The variable marked <version> indicates the build's version, revision, and changeset information. The variable marked <OS> indicates the OS for which the build was designed.

Unpack the Nitro Tarball Bundle.

[root]# tar xzvf nitro-tarball-bundle-<version>-<OS>.tar.gz
