In this procedure, you create an inserver directory, copy the tar file to that directory, and then extract the files to that directory.

  1. To create the local inserver directory, navigate to the desired base location on the local machine, and enter mkdir inserver.
    Note: The local directories on all of the machines in your environment should be in the same location due to the odbc.ini configuration settings.
  2. To create the shared inserver directory, navigate to the desired base shared location, and enter mkdir inserver.
  3. Copy the local <ImageNow-Server-Active-Active-Local>.tar.gz into the local inserver directory you created, replacing with the name of your Perceptive Content Server file.
  4. Copy the shared <ImageNow-Server-Active-Active-Shared>.tar.gz into the shared inserver directory you created, replacing <filename> with the name of your Perceptive Content Server file.
  5. Navigate to the local inserver directory and then type tar -xzvf <ImageNow-Server-Active-Active-Local>.tar.gz to extract all the packaged files for the local machine.
  6. To extract all the packaged files for the shared machine, type tar -xzvf<ImageNow-Server-Active-Active-Shared>.tar.gz
  7. Open the environment.ini configuration file. Create this file if it does not exist.
  8. In the environment.ini file, update the following settings.
    • [Directory Locations]
    • CONTENTDIR=[location of the shared files] this is the same shared inserver directory where you extracted the <ImageNow-Server-Active-Active-Shared>.tar.gz file.
  9. Execute the following command.
    chown -R root:bin *
  10. In the local inserver and shared inserver directories, enter ls -l to verify that the directory contains the following directories:
    Location Directories
    local inserver bin, log, odbc, temp, environment.ini
    shared inserver audit, doc, envoy, etc, form, osm_01.00001, osm_02.00001, osm_03.00001, script, workflow
  11. In the local inserver and shared inserver directories, you can remove the appropriate archive file to save disk space (optional):
    Location File
    local inserver ImageNow-Server-Active-Active-Local.tar.gz
    shared inserver ImageNow-Server-Active-Active-Shared.tar.gz
