3.1 Installing a Framework Manager

Currently, the Framework Manager is available for installation on the platforms listed below. Refer to Section 2.0, Installation Requirements for more information regarding supported versions.

NOTE:After the Framework Manager is installed, the manager console runs on the default port 443 and can be accessed with https://<ip>. The default port can be changed by changing the port number in the connector.xml file located at <install_path>/service/local/admin/connector.xml. For SUSE, the connector.xml file is located at /etc/opt/novell/npum/service/local/admin/connector.xml.

For detailed installation instructions for your platform, select from the list below:

3.1.1 AIX Framework Manager Installation

The AIX installation package is compressed through gzip. In order to install the package, you must unzip the package through gunzip.

By default, the installation program installs the software into /opt/novell/npum. To change this, create a directory in the required part of the file system and create a symbolic link to /opt/novell/npum.  

To install the AIX manager:

  1. Copy the installation package to a temporary location and use the following command to extract the installation files:

    gunzip <filename>
    

    See the “NetIQ Privileged User Manager Readme” for the actual filename.

  2. After the AIX installation package is uncompressed, use one of the following methods to perform the installation.

    • The AIX smitty program.

    • The following command:

         installp -acgNQqwX -d <directory of .bff file> netiqnpum
    
  3. After installation is complete, check that the service is running by viewing the log file. The log file is located in /opt/novell/npum/logs/unifid.log, if the default install location was used. If the manager installed correctly, services should be listening on 0.0.0.0:29120 and 0.0.0.0:443.

  4. If you have been supplied with a license, log in to the Framework Console and install the license.

3.1.4 SLES Framework Manager Installation

To install a new manager host, you must install base packages, manager packages and other required dependencies.

NOTE:

  • For SLES specific RPMs, the open source dependencies must be fulfilled before the RPM is installed using the RPM command.

    If the SLES operating system is properly registered and the SLES update channels are configured, you can use the zypper command with the SLES specific RPMs which will automatically pull the required open source dependencies from the configured SLES update channels.

  • Before installing the manager RPM, install the agent RPM.

To install the SLES manager:

  1. Copy the installation package to a temporary location.

    See the “NetIQ Privileged User Manager Readme” for the actual filename.

  2. After the SLES installation package is uncompressed, install the SLES manager. To install the SLES manager, you must install the agent package before installing the manager package.

    Use the following command to install the SLES manager:

    • For SLES 11 use zypper:

      zypper install <Agent name>.rpm <Manager name>.rpm

    • For SLES 10 use rug:

      rug install <Agent name>.rpm <Manager name>.rpm

    • rpm:

      rpm -i <Agent name>.rpm

      rpm -i <Manager name>.rpm

      NOTE: See the “NetIQ Privileged User Manager Readme” for the actual Agent name and Manager name.

    As part of the installation process the zypper or rug command line interfaces automatically resolve the required dependencies. However, if the installation is through the RPM command, the installation will fail if the following dependencies are not installed.

    • libapr1

    • libapr-util1

    • openssl

    • perl

    • apr

    • zlib

    • pcre
