IV. Installation instructions 
 
1.  Consult the Install Guide for background information on COI, OS requirements, ulimit settings
    on Linux, and other critical information before beginning the install process.

2.  Extract the COI 1.1.1.1 archive into an empty temporary directory

3a. Windows:
      - Log in as a user in the Administrators group.
      - Run setupwin32.bat

3b. Linux:
      - Log in as root
      - Run setupLinux.sh

4.  After the installation completes, you may delete the directory where the archive was extracted.

V. Known issues and limitations:

1. The following directories in your TEMP directory are created during the middleware installation
   process, and can be safely removed after a successful installation.

    allbrs
    allcheck
    coi
    DB2_82
    DB2_82C
    DB2_82_FP10
    DB2_Alphablox_83
    efixes

    IBMRAC	(Linux only)
    IHS
    ITDS_6
    ITDS_60FP
    ITDS_60
    Portal_51
    Portal_51CU
    Portal_51Fix1
    Portal_51Fix2

    WPS_60
    WPS_60CU
    WPS_60Fix1
    WPS_60Fix2
    WPS_60Fix3
    wps_expanded

    Response (.RSP) files and logs with those prefixes may also be safely removed after installation.

2. Running WebSphere Application Server and Portal Server as Windows services:

    On Windows platform you should see two additional services get created:
        IBM WebSphere Application Server V6 - ccmdb-server1
        IBM WebSphere Application Server V6 - ccmdb-Portal
    After Middleware install is completed, these services are started by default, however, if the machine
    is later rebooted or the serves are manually shut down, the correct startup procedure must be followed
    for proper operation of the WebSphere servers including the CCMDB PMIP server.  
    The correct procedure is the following:
    1. Stop the following services, if they are running:
        IBM Tivoli Directory Server Instance V6.0 - idsccmdb
        IBM Tivoli Directory Admin Daemon V6.0 - idsccmdb
        DB2 - IDSCCMDB
    2. Start all the required services in the following order - waiting for each to complete before starting
       the next:
        a) DB2 - CTGINST1-0
        b) IBM Tivoli Directory Admin Daemon V6.0 - idsccmdb
        c) IBM Tivoli Directory Server Instance V6.0 - idsccmdb
        d) IBM WebSphere Application Server V6 - ccmdb-server1
        e) IBM WebSphere Application Server V6 - ccmdb-Portal
 

3. Defect  197562 COI:  ITDS Config - DB2 ports hardcoded 

    For installations on Linux platform using Custom install option: 
    modifying the following ITDS/DB2 port values might not work and could produce unpredictable results
    for proper operation of ITDS, WebSphere Application Server and Portal Server:
        Base Port: 60010
        End Port : 60015
    For proper operation of the above listed products the default port values should be used.

VI. Additional Information:

IBMMiddlewareInstaller.log, logsummary.html and all middleware install logs have been restructured and now
reside under the coi directory in system TEMP:
  - Windows :  %TEMP%\coi
  - Linux : /tmp/coi
