Setup guide

To install Backburner Manager and Backburner Web Monitor on a Linux
system:
1 Open a terminal and log in as root.
2 Access the Autodesk Lustre software installation package (from a
downloaded tar file or on USB key).
3 Install Backburner by typing:
rpm -Uvh backburner*
The Backburner components (Server, Manager and Web Monitor) are
installed on the system.
4 If the system on which you are installing Backburner runs Linux in
graphical mode, you are asked if you want to automatically run
Backburner Manager and Backburner Server on the machine. Answer
Yes to the question about the Manager, and No to the question about
the Server.
5 Run the Backburner Web Monitor configuration script:
/usr/discreet/backburner/backburnerConfigWeb
The script automatically configures Backburner Web Monitor.
To verify that Backburner components are running properly:
1 On the system on which you installed Backburner Manager, as root,
type:
ps -ef | grep -i backburner
The output of the command should include a line containing the path
to the Backburner Manager application, similar to the following:
root 14989 10 Nov29 ? 00:02:36
/usr/discreet/backburner/backburnerManager
NOTE If Backburner Manager is not running, the Backburner log file
/usr/discreet/backburner/Network/backburner.log may be a useful source of
information for troubleshooting.
2 To test that Backburner Web Monitor is installed and configured properly,
open a Web browser on the Manager machine and point it to http://loc-
alhost/backburner.
Backburner Web Monitor opens. If you are asked for a user name and
password, use backburner for both.
Refer to the Autodesk Backburner Installation Guide for detailed information on
configuring Backburner.
