A.1 Java Development Kit

The Novell Teaming software runs inside a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). At present, Teaming requires a Java Development Kit (JDK) not a Java Runtime Environment (JRE*) in order to run properly. You can use either the Sun JDK or the IBM JDK. Follow the instructions in the section below for your operating system and JDK preference:

A.1.1 Sun JDK on Linux

  1. Go to the following URL:

    Java SE Downloads

    The update you need is listed as “JDK 6 Update nn.”

  2. Click Download next to this update.

  3. In the Platform field, select Linux or Linux x64 depending on the processor in your Teaming server.

  4. Select I agree..., then click Continue to accept Sun’s License Agreement.

  5. Click the jdk-6unn-linux-version-rpm.bin file., then save the file to an empty temporary directory on your Linux server.

  6. As the root user, change to that temporary directory, then use the following command to make sure that the download arrived safely:

    ls -l
    

    You should see a file named jdk-6unn-linux-version-rpm.bin.

  7. Change the permissions on the file to include execute permissions:

    chmod +x jdk-6unn-linux-version-rpm.bin
    
  8. Run the self-extracting file:

    ./jdk-6unn-linux-version-rpm.bin
    
  9. Scroll through the License Agreement, then enter y to accept it.

    This creates a file named jdk-6unn-linux-version.rpm, and a directory named /usr/java/jdk.1.6.0_nn with the Sun JDK software in it.

    The Sun JDK is now installed on your Linux server.

BASIC TEAMING INSTALLATION SUMMARY SHEET

Under Java JDK Location on the Basic Teaming Installation Summary Sheet, specify the directory where you install the JDK. The Teaming Installation program prompts you for this location.

A.1.2 IBM JDK on Linux

The IBM JDK is available with SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server (SELS) 10. You can install it using YaST.

  1. In YaST, click Software > Software Management.

  2. In the Search field, type ibm, then click Search.

  3. Select Java 5 SDK, Standard Edition (java-1_5_0-ibm-devel), then click Accept.

  4. Click Continue to accept the suggested dependencies, then click No because you don’t need any more packages.

  5. Exit YaST.

    This creates a directory named /usr/lib/jvm/java-1_5_0-ibm-1.5.0_sr3 with the IBM JDK software in it.

BASIC TEAMING INSTALLATION SUMMARY SHEET

Under Java JDK Location on the Basic Teaming Installation Summary Sheet, specify the directory where you install the JDK. The Teaming Installation program prompts you for this location.

A.1.3 Sun JDK on Windows

  1. Go to the following URL:

    Java SE Downloads

    The update you need is listed as “JDK 6 Update nn.”

  2. Click Download next to this update.

  3. In the Platform field, select Windows or Windows x64 depending on the processor in your Teaming server.

  4. Select I agree..., then click Continue to accept Sun’s License Agreement.

  5. Click the jdk-6unn-windows-version.exe file., then save the file to an empty temporary directory on your Windows server.

  6. Change to that temporary directory, then run the downloaded executable.

    This creates a directory named c:\Program Files\Java\jdk6unn with the Sun JDK software in it.

    The Sun JDK is now installed on your Windows server.
