Chapter 2. Setting up a Content Manager OnDemand instance 19
2.3  Implementing a Content Manager OnDemand instance on a 
multiplatform UNIX environment
In this section, we describe how to set up a single instance in a Content Manager OnDemand 
for a multiplatform UNIX environment. Always refer to the product documentation of your 
release for the specific steps to follow.
2.3.1  Defining a single instance
By default, the initial instance on any library server is named archive. Creating a single 
instance can be summarized by the following steps:
1. Creating a user
2. Creating a DB2 instance
3. Installing IBM Global Security Kit
4. Setting up Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
5. Storing user IDs and passwords in a stash file
6. Installing and configuring Tivoli Storage Manager
7. Configuring the instance
8. Creating a Content Manager OnDemand database
9. Initializing the system log and system load facility
Creating a user
New installations (instances) of Content Manager OnDemand can be configured to run under 
a user other than the root user. If you plan to run an instance under a user other than root, 
complete the following steps:
1. Create the user for the Content Manager OnDemand instance owner that is a member of 
the database owners group.
2. Give the user administrator authority to the database.
3. Set permissions for the ca che storage file systems.
4. Set permissions for the Content Manager OnDemand configuration and script files.
5. Give the instance owner permission to write to the system console.
6. Specify the instance owner in the ARS.INI file.
If you plan to run a distributed library and object server system, with one or more object 
servers on different workstations or nodes than the library server, you must also configure 
Content Manager OnDemand on the object servers.
To configure Content Manager OnDemand on the object servers, complete the following 
steps:
1. Create a group and user for the Content Manager OnDemand instance owner.
2. Give ownership of the cache storage file systems that are listed in the ARS.CACHE file to the 
group and user for the Content Manager OnDemand instance owner.
