Sentinel can be installed either as a stand-alone install or as an appliance install. The stand-alone installer installs Sentinel on an existing SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 SP1 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 operating system. The appliance installer installs both the SLES 11 SP1 64-bit operating system and Sentinel.
This section describes the procedure for a stand-alone installation of the Sentinel server on an existing SLES 11 SP1 system or RHEL 6. For appliance install, see Section 5.0, Installing the Appliance.
