Installing Products into a New Hierarchy

To install, configure, and test your Cadence^® products and licensing for a new release,

1. Do one of the following:

   • If you received an Installation Control file for this release via e-mail, save it to a known location.

   • If you received an Installation Control file on DVD, mount the DVD and access the file. Then save the file to a known location.

2. Verify that you have read permission for the Installation Control file.

3. Save the ASCII license file that you received as an email attachment in a known location and ensure that you have read permission.

4. Identify the DVD to use for installation.

   If you have received only a set of Baseline DVDs, use the Baseline DVD#1 first. The disk should be labeled Disk # of n for platform .

   If you have received both a set of Base, Update, and Hot Fix DVDs (and the Installation Control e-mail file), use the Update and Hot Fix DVD#1 first. After installing the Update or Hot Fix DVDs, InstallScape may ask you to then mount the baseline DVD to complete the installation in a new hierarchy.

   Note:  For Windows users, the Update/Hot Fix DVDs contains the full release. The baseline DVD will not be required to complete the installation in a new hierarchy.

   Note:  The type of DVD you mount first (Baseline, Update, and Hot Fix DVD#1) determines the resulting installation type. That is, if you start with Baseline DVD#1, you will install the baseline version of the selected products. If you start with an Hot Fix DVD#1, you will install the Hot Fix version of the products as they existed on the date that the Hot Fix DVD set was created.

5. Mount the DVD.

   Note:  The installation starts automatically when you insert the DVD on a Microsoft Windows system. If you are using a dongle, attach it to your computer before inserting the DVD.

   1. Log in as root.

      Note:  You do not normally need root permission to mount a DVD on Solaris.

   2. If it does not already exist, create the DVD directory by typing

      mkdir /dvd_dir

       

   3. Insert the DVD into the DVD drive.

   4. Mount the DVD drive on the DVD directory, using the appropriate command:

      


      Solaris	/etc/mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/ device / dvd_dir Note:  Normally, the Solaris OS automounts the DVD. In case the automount fails, see Solaris does not mount the DVD automatically for troubleshooting tips.
      HP-UX	/etc/mount -F cdfs -o ro /dev/dsk/ device / dvd_dir Note:  Typically, the device name to represent DVD in HP-UX is c0t0d0.
      AIX	/etc/mount -v cdrfs -o ro /dev/ device / dvd_dir Note:  Typically, the device name to represent DVD in HP-UX is dvd0.
      Linux	/bin/mount -o ro /dev/ device / dvd_dir Note:  Typically, the device name to represent DVD in Linux is dvd.

   5. Log out as root.

6. Check the top level of your DVD for README file.

   If this file exists, it contains information that might be necessary for the installation of your product.

7. Start the interactive setup utility, SETUP.SH.

   On a UNIX system, type

    

   dvd_mount_point/SETUP.SH

   For example, if dvd_dir is the DVD mount point, then the command to run SETUP.SH will be

    

   /dvd_dir/SETUP.SH

   On a Microsoft Windows system, the installation should start automatically. If it does not, go to the top-level directory of the DVD and run the setup.exe program.

8. When SETUP.SH asks you to specify the path to your_install_dir , do one of the following:

   • Type the path to an empty existing directory.

   • Type a name for a directory (SETUP.SH will create the path for you).

9. Answer the prompts, and proceed as directed.

   The appropriate installation utility, InstallScape or InstallShield, should start automatically.

   On Windows, double-click on setup.exe at the top level of the DVD.

10. Do one of the following:

• Load the products and licensing using InstallShield. 
  • InstallShield is a GUI-based installation wizard.
  • Each screen includes instructions. InstallShield allows you to install the license manager, install products, and update your license file. 
  • The installation is customized for each product family: see the README file at the top level of your DVD for appropriate information.

• Load the products using InstallScape. See the InstallScape User Guide for details on how to use InstallScape for installing products.
  You will need to configure the license file before you can start using it. For more information, see the Cadence License Manager. This document is available on Cadence Online Support or in the Installation with the product manuals. Or, if you have a previously licensed Cadence hierarchy available, you can read this document using Cadence Help. If your installation consists of more than one DVD, either because the release is on two volumes or because you began the installation with a Update and Hot Fix DVDs DVD, InstallScape installs the selected products from the first disk and then prompts you to dismount that DVD and continue the installation using the next disk. For Update and Hot Fix installations, you finish by installing the non-updated products from the baseline DVD.

Creating the Tools Link (if required)

Some Cadence tools require a tools directory to be present in the installation hierarchy. This tools directory should be a symbolic link to the tools .<platform> directory that is created at the time of installation. Typically, this link is created automatically when you run product configuration scripts such as licensing configuration.

If your product requires this link and if this link does not exist, do the following:

1. Change to the installation directory by specifying the following command at the command prompt:

   cd <install_dir>

2. Create the tools link by specifying the following command at the command prompt:

   ln -s tools.<platform> tools
