Install UNAB AIX 7.1 WPAR Native Package in Shared Mode

Installing UNAB on the AIX WPAR default partition is similar to a regular installation except that you specify a non-default installation directory. In shared mode the /opt and /usr directories are shared between all Workload Partitions.

Important! You must customize the package to specify that you accept the license agreement using a keyword you can find inside the license agreement.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the Global Environment as root.

   To register and install AIX native packages, you need permissions associated with the root account.

2. Customize the UNAB package.

   You must customize the package to specify that you accept the license agreement using a keyword that you can find inside the license agreement. You can also customize the package to specify custom installation settings.

   Important! Change the installation directory to specify a private directory. For example:

   customize_eac_bff -i /CA/uxauth -d pwd uxauth.12.6.1.*.bff
   

3. Install UNAB by executing the following command:

   installp -d 'pwd' -a uxauth
   

   AIX starts installing the UNAB package.

   UNAB is now fully installed but not started.

4. Synchronize UNAB with the AIX Workload Partitions using the following command:

   synchwpar <wpar_name>
   

   wpar_name

   Specifies the name of the AIX Workload Partition

   Note: To install UNAB on all partitions use the synchwpar -A command.

   UNAB is installed on the specified AIX Workload Partition. You can now manage UNAB on the Global Environment and on each Workload Partition separately.
