Default installation directory

Edit online

The CCA RPM or DEB by default choose overall installation directories for their contents.

/usr/lib64/ (RPM) and /usr/lib/ (DEB)
all libraries to be used by applications
/opt/IBM/CCA/
all other actual files from the release are placed in sub-directories of this path
In the past a part of the path name was the name of the specific CCA coprocessor being supported, such as CEX3C. As of CEX4C support, multiple CCA coprocessors are supported from the same install tree, and it is no longer appropriate to use the CCA coprocessor name in the path. The new default install path is:
/opt/IBM/CCA/

Soft-links to the following paths are added for ease of use and migration:

  • /opt/ibm/cca
  • /opt/IBM/CEX3C/

If you are upgrading, note that the RPMs copy your key storage files from the old default location to the new default location. The old directory is kept and renamed to /opt/IBM/CEX3C-old/.
