Installing a Demonstration IxServer
A demonstration IxServer can be installed along with the IxExplorer. This is an optional choice. Once
installed, you can connect to the server computer using the locally installed IxExplorer client
computer. The demonstration version of IxServer only allows you to examine the components (that is,
a wide variety of chassis, load modules, and ports) of an artificially generated chassis chain. No real
testing can be performed.
Avoid installing both a demo mode and a real version of IxOS onto the same system.
l
If a demo mode version of IxOS is installed onto a chassis, and a real version of IxOS is installed
onto the same chassis, and then the real version is uninstalled, the Ixia drivers is not removed
(because of the presence of another version of IxOS on the system) in this case. When starting
the demo version of IxOS on that chassis, the demo mode tries to start the services, but fails
because demo mode would not have installed any services.
l
Similarly, when both a demo mode and a real version of IxOS are installed on a computer, and
then the real version gets uninstalled, the drivers are still present. The demo mode running on
the computer tries to read/write inaccessible data. In addition, the demo mode has the same
issues with services as described above with regard to the chassis.
l
In both the cases, to correct this problem, it is necessary to uninstall both servers from the
system, and then install the Demo Server onto the remote client computer workstation, and
install the real IxServer onto the chassis.
After obtaining the IxExplorer software, follow the IxExplorer installation instructions provided in
Software Installation Procedure During the installation process, the dialog box shown in Figure:
IxServer Installation Options appears.
