Install the Hyper-Q Software

You must install two instances of Hyper-Q, with one instance on each of the virtual machines you created earlier.

To install the Hyper-Q software, perform the following steps:

  1. Copy the hyperq-version-sqldw.tar.gz to the Hyper-Q VM.

  2. Un-compress the file.

    $ tar xvf hyperq-version-sqldw.tar.gz

    This creates the following four RPM files:

    hyperq-version.x86_64.rpm
    hyperq-monitors-version.x86_64.rpm
    hyperq-sqldw-version.x86_64.rpm
    hyperq-system-version.x86_64.rpm
  3. Install the software packages as superuser, replacing the version placeholder with the actual version number of the Hyper-Q software.

    $ sudo yum install hyperq-version.x86_64.rpm
      hyperq-monitors-version.x86_64.rpm 
      hyperq-sqldw-version.x86_64.rpm
      hyperq-system-version.x86_64.rpm

Installation results

The installation process performs the following steps:

  1. Creates the group dtm and a user ID dtm at the OS level.

  2. Installs all binaries and support files in the directory /opt/datometry.

  3. Creates a service named dtm within the system.

  4. Adjusts system controls by installing the file /etc/sysctl.d/dtm.conf and applies its configuration settings to the Hyper-Q VM. Changes take effect immediately without requiring a reboot.

The installation creates the service, however, it does not automatically start the service.
