If installing on a UNIX system, also do the following:
Verify that you have a minimum of 500 MB of free disk space in the /tmp directory on the host machine.
Verify that X Windows services are installed and configured correctly.
Verify that the correct version of the JRE is installed in the path. For the correct version, see the Operations Center Getting Started Guide.
In UNIX, users are granted a subset of the root superuser’s capabilities. To prevent accidental alteration of important files or system resources, NetIQ recommends that you run the Operations Center software as a user other than root. We suggest logging in as root and creating a user ID called formula to use during the installation.
Do the following that are applicable:
When running Operations Center software on a UNIX server, X Window services are required, even though the server does not have a graphical user interface. Operations Center uses X Window services for internal image handling.
The Operations Center installation program requires the X Window system to be set to display graphical (X client) applications on the local X server display. If X Windows is set to display on a nonlocal display, the installation program stalls, unable to display on the local machine.
In most cases, the environment variables are set so that programs that require the X Window system, including the Operations Center installation program, run on the local console.
Before starting the installation, verify that the X server access control is disabled and the DISPLAY environment variable is set to display on the local X server.
To verify proper X Windows configuration before installing Operations Center software:
Log in as the root user to the server where you will be installing Operations Center.
Create a user ID called formula.
Type xhost + at the command prompt to verify that the X server access control is disabled.
If disabled, the following message displays:
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
As the user formula, verify that your DISPLAY environment variable is set to display on the local X server.
If it is not, issue the following command:
|
bsh or ksh: |
export DISPLAY=ip_address:0.0 |
|
csh: |
setenv DISPLAY=ip_address:0.0 |
Where ip_address is the IP Address of the server to run the display.
Installation of Operations Center requires that correct version of the JRE is already loaded in the path. For the correct version of the JRE, see Java Runtime Environment
in the Operations Center Getting Started Guide.
To determine which version of JRE is currently installed:
Do one of the following:
Windows: Type java ‑version from the location at which it is installed.
Unix: Type ./java ‑version from the Java_JRE_installation_path/bin directory.
If the correct version or higher is:
Returned: You are ready to install Operations Center. Continue with Section 2.0, Operations Center Server Installation.
Not Returned: Change the PATH to point to a valid JRE. On Windows, update the path Environment variable.
For example, on UNIX:
export PATH=/opt/java1.7/jre/bin:$PATH
where 1.7 is the JRE version.
