RHEL and SLES daemon installation
Make sure both the run-time and development libusb libraries are installed on
your Linux system. Execute the following rpm query command to check that the
libraries are installed and the version numbers:
rpm -qa | grep libusb
The command returns the following two libusb entries (if your version numbers
are different, that is okay):
libusb-0.1.6-3
libusb-devel-0.1.6-3
Review the appropriate readme file of the RPM Package for prerequisites and
installation steps.
To install RSA II on RHEL and SLES:
1. Copy the downloaded file to a folder on the Linux server, for example to
/tmp/inst. The following RPMs are contained in the installation package:
– ibmusbasm-1.xx-2.src.rpm for VMware ESX 3.x and 32-bit Linux except
RHEL5
– ibmusbasm64-1.xx-2.src.rpm for 64-bit Linux except RHEL5
– ibmusbasm-rhel5-1.xx-2.src.rpm for 32-bit RHEL5
– ibmusbasm64-rhel5-1.xx-2.src.rpm for 64-bit RHEL5
2. Install the daemon (for example, SUSE, where xx is the version) by running:
rpm -ivh ibmusbasm-1.xx.i386.rpm
3. Check that the daemon is running by using the ps command, as shown in
Example 6-1.
Example 6-1 RSA II daemon status in Linux OS
nux:~ # ps -ef | grep ibmasm
root 11056 1 0 10:47 pts/1 00:00:00 /sbin/ibmasm
root 11060 11056 0 10:47 pts/1 00:00:00 /sbin/ibmasm
root 11062 10996 0 10:48 pts/1 00:00:00 grep ibmasm
linux:~ #
If /sbin/ibmasm appears in the list, the daemon is running. The ibmusbasm
daemon is started automatically during the boot process of the operating
system.
To start the daemon manually, use the command ibmspup. To stop the daemon,
enter ibmspdown.
