LDK client configuration

After the normal zPDT® package is installed the LDK client can be activated. The LDK client (and server) requires a 32-bit version of the Linux® glibc library and the client installation process automatically accesses several Internet sites to obtain the latest version of this library.

Be certain you have a working Internet connection before starting this process. Your base Linux might already have glibc-32bit installed. If glibc-32bit is not already installed on your base Linux and if you cannot connect to the Internet (perhaps due to firewalls) then you must obtain and install glibc-32bit in some other way. The LDK functions (client and server) will not operate without this rpm. After checking your Internet connectivity, and working as root, issue this command:

# /usr/z1090/bin/gen2_init

The resulting display depends on your Linux distribution, but might look like the following:


[root@zdt-dev3 ~]# /usr/z1090/bin/gen2_init

..Done.

This setup is done only once. Thereafter the LDK client is started automatically when the client Linux system is booted.

Issue ./query_license in the path /opt/IBM/LDK to see if the client is correctly configured and able to get license during IPL。
