10.4 Installation methods
The DS CLI is supplied and installed via a CD that ships with the machine. The installation
does not require a reboot of the open systems host. The DS CLI requires Java™ 1.4.1 or
higher. Java 1.4.2 for Windows, AIX, and Linux is supplied on the CD. Many hosts may
already have a suitable level of Java installed.
The installation process can be performed via a shell, such as the bash or korn shell, or the
Windows command prompt, or via a GUI interface. If performed via a shell, it can be
performed silently using a profile file. The installation process also installs software that
allows the DS CLI to be completely de-installed should it no longer be required.
The exact install process doesn’t really vary by operating system. It consists of:
1. The DS CLI CD is placed in the CD-ROM drive (and mounted if necessary).
2. If using a command line, the user changes to the root directory of the CD. There is a setup
command for each supported operating system. The user issues the relevant command
