Good evening. I have problems installing MB v7 on Linux 64-bit
We have un-tar'd CZED9ML.tar.gz {MB v7.0.0.1 Linux x86-64 Multilingual}
Machine is RHEL v6.1, 64-bit
From a command line, using root user, we run
| Quote: |
| /tmp/software/mb/messagebroker_runtime1/setuplinuxx64 - console |
... and all I get is
| Quote: |
[root@rhv6-64b messagebroker_runtime1]# ./setuplinuxx64.bin -console

Nothing else.
Nothing gets installed,
absolutely no error thrown on screen or /var/log/messages
Any idea is welcome ... Sebastian. |

You need to follow the installation instructions which includes adding the 32-bit OS libs to the system.

If I were doing the installation, I would invest more time and effort. My suggestion to the OP is to follow the installation instructions. One of the steps for RHEL 64-bit systems is to install the 32-bit OS libs. This is due to the fact that the installer is written as 32-bit, even for 64-bit products.
Beyond that, there are preparation steps that need to happen before the installer runs. Based on how the OP worded his query, it occurs to me that none of the system preparation steps were attempted. The OP wants to install the product on an unconfigured server.
I may be wrong. I have made errors in the past.

1) your PDF and mine are exactly the same and there is nothing (as far as I can see) about 32-bit libs install.
Will search readme.htm and more.
2) I dont use "mqm:mqm", but "brk:mqsibrkrs"
Anyway, I install using "root"
Thanks.
Sebastian. |

I believe there is a temporary installer log file in /tmp or something that may also show information about what's failing.
I don't believe the installers write anything to syslog. |

Thanks, Jeff, but I emptied /tmp and nothing is written there .. at least at first step.
Looking into "setuplinuxx64" shell, it will write something after MB is installed and it wants to install IE02 :
| Quote: |
if [ "$ISMPRes" = "0" ]; then
if [ -r /tmp/IE02install.sh ]; then
InstallerDir=`dirname $0 2>/dev/null`
export InstallerDir
# Make the script created by the runtime installer executable
chmod 755 /tmp/IE02install.sh
# Run the IE02 installer script
/tmp/IE02install.sh
# Remove the generated script
rm /tmp/IE02install.sh
fi
else
echo $ISMPRes
exit $ISMPRes
fi

| There should be an mqsi7.log or something in /tmp. it might be getting moved to <product_install>/ however... (/opt/ibm/mqsi or etc.) |

/tmp is empty and /var/mqsi also ...
Tried "find / -name mq*.log" with no success : only 2 "mqxr.log" files came up, coming from MQ (TT)
The "crash" is VERY fast ...
I suspect JVM does not start ... or waits for some $DISPLAY .... for graphical (?) install ...
When I run "./setuplinuxx64.bin -console" ... it takes 1.4 seconds to display the prompt again ... not usual if JVM is involved ...
Bye - now I have to go |

I don't think you can use 32-bit libraries on 64-bit linux. AIX can run 32-bit applications but 64-bit linux cannot.
It's more likely there is something wrong with the JRE.

As an RHCE (for my sins) I developed a Kickstart file for RHEL 6.0/6.1 (64 bit) that would install ALL the 32bit rpm's needed to allow you to install not only broker but WMQ 7.0 as well. for example, you need the 32nit version of libXp in order to run MQExplorer.
It would be nice if someone from the Hursley team did this and put it into the documentation. It would save an awful lot of time for sysadmins out in the field.
IIRC, there is a post of mine from a couple of years ago that lists the packages needed for 7.0.0.1. I'm on a business trip so I don't have the kickstart file available.
It took me about 3-4 hours to develop a list of both 32 and 64 bit packages needed by Broker. Any competent Linux Sysadmin should be able to generate one with a little effort.
Asking broker developers to do this is a sure fire way to get a cludged system.
People should really get used to using kisckstart files and local repositories that include all the patches when building RHEL systems. It saves an awful lot of time and you are completely auditable which is mandatory in some industries. It isn't rocket science you know.
