Installing and configuring the IBM Spectrum Symphony client on a host

Procedure

  1. Do one of the following:
    • To install the package interactively, double-click the .msi installation package and follow the prompts.

      Take note that the IBM® Spectrum Symphony client is by default installed at C:\Program Files\IBM\SpectrumComputing\Client732. If you do not have permission to install, enable permissions and rerun the installer. For users without administrator permissions, the IBM Spectrum Symphony client is installed by default at C:\IBM\SpectrumComputing\Client732.

    • To install the package in silent mode (without user interaction), run the msiexec command with the following parameters:
      For example:
      msiexec /i "C:\symclnt7.3.2" /qn INSTALLDIR=C:\CLIENT
      where:
      /i
      Installs the client package.
      /qn
      Suppresses the user interface.
      INSTALLDIR
      Identifies where to install the IBM Spectrum Symphony client package.
  2. Set up the environment by running the CLIENT_TOP\conf\symclientenv.bat file from a command console.

    The script sets the SOAM_HOME, PATH, and EGO_CONFDIR environment variables.

  3. Configure the cluster's entry point in the CLIENT_TOP\conf\ego.conf file:
    1. Specify the primary candidate host list.
      For example:
      EGO_MASTER_LIST="HostM HostMC"
    2. Specify the vemkd daemon port number.
      For example:
      EGO_KD_PORT=7870
