Steps of Unix Os Installation

1. The document describes the steps to install a Unix operating system. This includes creating a user account and home directory, determining the CD-ROM and RAM, and following OS-specific installation instructions. 2. The boot process for Unix systems has several main phases: basic hardware detection, executing the firmware initialization, locating and running the initial boot program, locating and starting the Unix kernel, and the kernel initializing processes and subsystems to start accepting user logins. 3. Options for the install.sh command include using a graphical interface, logging output, and printing commands for debugging. Pressing Ctrl-C cancels installation while entering or skipping through the license.

Steps of unix os installation:

=================

1.Create a user account for WebLogic Integration - Business Connect (connect, for example) as the
home directory for the application. For example, you can use one of the following as a home
directory:

/opt/connect

/usr/local/connect

Note: The directory must not be automounted or on an automounted file system. WebLogic
Integration - Business Connect cannot run correctly on an automounted file system. This applies to
volumes mounted using the automount utility and not to volumes that are automatically mounted at
startup. WebLogic Integration - Business Connect cannot be installed on automounted volumes
because of automatic unmounting of such drives.

2.Determine the device name of your CD-ROM drive.

The installation CD has a standard ISO-9660 (High Sierra) file system with Rock Ridge extensions.

3.Determine how much RAM your server has. You need to enter this information during the
installation routine.

4.See the installation procedure for your operating system:

Installing on Hewlett-Packard HP-UX

Installing on IBM AIX

Installing on Sun Solaris

The following installation guidelines apply to all UNIX operating systems.

You can use the following options with the install.sh command:

Table 3-1 install.sh Options

Option

Description

=======

-g
Uses a graphical user interface (GUI) for the installation routine. The default routine is text-based.

\If you use this option, ensure you have X Windows connectivity to the server where you are going
to install the application. This option tests for X Windows capability and, if the system passes,
launches the GUI installation.

-s

Logs screen output to the file installation_directory/logs/install.log

-x

Prints all commands before they are executed. Used for debugging, this is a powerful tool when
combined with the -s option.

When using the default text-based installation, be aware of the following:

Press Ctrl+C to cancel the installation at any time.

When the license agreement text displays, press Enter to scroll through the text until you reach the
accept agreement prompt or type q and press Enter to skip through the license and go directly to the
accept agreement prompt.

When the ready to install prompt appears, press Enter to install or type 2 and press Enter to cancel
the installation.

When prompted to select an installation directory, be advised that you cannot use a directory name
that includes blank spaces.

When prompted to type the path where your HTML browser is located, you can skip this and specify
a location later by selecting Tools—>Preferences in Administrator. You use a browser to access the
online help and obtain certificates from third-party certificate authorities. You will not be able to
access the online help until you specify a browser.

Following installation, the Terminal window provides the command for starting Administrator. It also
provides instructions for enabling group access to the application.

Botting process unix os :

==============

Bootstrapping is the full name for the process of bringing a computer system to life and making it
ready for use. The name comes from the fact that a computer needs its operating system to be able
to do anything, but it must also get the operating system started all on its own, without having any
of the services normally provided by the operating system to do so. Hence, it must “pull itself up by
its own bootstraps.” Booting is short for bootstrapping, and this is the term I’ll use.
The basic boot process is very similar for all Unix systems, although the mechanisms used to
accomplish it vary quite a bit from system to system. These mechanisms depend on both the
physical hardware and the operating system type (System V or BSD). The boot process can be
initiated automatically or manually, and it can begin when the computer is powered on (a cold boot)
or as a result of a reboot command from a running system (a warm boot or restart).

The normal Unix boot process has these main phases:

*Basic hardware detection (memory, disk, keyboard, mouse, and the like).

*Executing the firmware system initialization program (happens automatically).

*Locating and running the initial boot program (by the firmware boot program), usually from a
predetermined location on disk. This program may perform additional hardware checks prior to
loading the kernel.

*Locating and starting the Unix kernel (by the first-stage boot program). The kernel image file to
execute may be determined automatically or via input to the boot program.

*The kernel initializes itself and then performs final, high-level hardware checks, loading device
drivers and/or kernel modules as required.

*The kernel starts the init process, which in turn starts system processes (daemons) and initializes all
active subsystems. When everything is ready, the system begins accepting user logins.
