Installation instructions

Client-side installation for Windows:

  1. Download and install DavClientInstall.exe on the client machine where the target application resides.
  2. Follow the instructions in the installer. By default, the client software will be installed to C:\Program Files\IBM\IBM DAV\Client.

Client-side installation for Linux:

  1. Download and install dav-client.i386.rpm on the client machine where the target application resides.
  2. Log in with root access and run the following command:
    Rpm –ivh dav-client.1386.rpm
    

Client-side developer installation for Windows:

  1. Download and install DavVirtualizerInstall.exe on a client machine. (This component will be used to generate client- and server-side code in order to prepare the application for function off-loading.) The client can be the same machine on which the target application resides or a different machine, but the client software is required for running the Virtualizer component of IBM Dynamic Application Virtualization.
  2. Follow the instructions in the installer. The software will be installed to C:\Program Files\IBM\IBM DAV\Virtualizer.

Client-side developer installation for Linux:

  1. Download and install dav-virtualizer.i386.rpm on a client machine. (This component will be used to generate client- and server-side code in order to prepare the application for function off-loading.) The client can be the same machine on which the target application resides or a different machine, but the client software is required for running the Virtualizer component of IBM Dynamic Application Virtualization.
  2. Log in with root access and run the following command:
    Rpm -ivh dav-virtualizer.i386.rpm
    
    The software will be installed to /usr/ibmdav/virtualizer.

Server-side installation:

  1. Download dav-server.i386.rpm for x86 server machines or dav-server.ppc64.rpm for IBM BladeCenter QS21.
  2. Log in with root access and run the following command:
    rpm -iVh dav-server.i386.rpm or rpm -iVh dav-server.ppc64.rpm.
    

    The server software will be installed to /usr/ibmdav/server.
