Remote Installation

To install WebSphere® MQ on a remote machine, you can use standard WebSphere MQ for AIX®, Version 6.0 techniques. To do this, log on to both systems as root. Put the WebSphere MQ for AIX, Version 6.0 Server CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive of the machine from which you are going to take the copy. Follow this procedure for each target machine on which you want to install the product:

  1. Create a CD-ROM file system on the local machine, and mount the CD-ROM file system on the local machine (mount /cdrom).
  2. Using smit, export this file system using NFS to the target machine.
  3. Log on to the remote machine and use NFS to mount the CD-ROM file system that you created (mount local_machine:/cdrom).
  4. Use smit to install WebSphere MQ for AIX, Version 6.0 from the target directory that you specified as specified in Installation Method.
