Setting up a UNIX client that uses NFS

About this task

To set up a client that uses NFS,:

Procedure

  1. If you have multiple installations, or if you do not have any installation or linked from /usr/local/ccm, set CCM_HOME and PATH. Otherwise, skip this step.
       $ CCM_HOME=ccm_home
       $ PATH=$CCM_HOME/bin:$PATH
       $ export CCM_HOME PATH

    ccm_home is the directory into which Rational Synergy is installed.

  2. Be sure that the following requirements are met:
    • For traditional mode sessions, you must enable either rsh or ESD on the server to allow remote UNIX clients.

      If ESD is not in use, engine hosts must trust the users and machines. Configure your.rhosts or hosts.equiv file accordingly.

    • For traditional mode sessions, you must enable either rexec or ESD on the server for Windows clients.
    • The database server must trust ccm_root on the engine machines.

      To enable this, configure the ccm_root.rhosts or hosts.equiv file accordingly.

    • The client must be able to resolve the name or IP address of the server.
    • On the client, the ccm_root user ID (UID) and group ID (GID) must match the server.
    • The router service must be listed in the /etc/services directory on the client.

      For more information, contact your system administrator.

    • $CCM_HOME must be the same on the client and server.

      Mount the installation on the server so it appears on the client in the same path.

    • The $CCM_HOME/etc/.router.adr file must point to the correct location. Typically, the router is running on the server.
  3. Start a Rational Synergy session.
       $ ccm start -d ccmdb

    ccmdb is the path to the Rational Synergy database.
