RPM Installation

Instead of using the OVF with the CentOS 6.6 64-bit architecture, you can use the RPM to install the AFM

software. For information about using the OVF to deploy AFM, refer toDeploying the OVF Template .

Prerequisites

Before you begin, install the following:

1. CentOS 6.6 64 bit.

For information about installing CentOS 6.6, refer to https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-

US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/index.html.. Dell Networking recommends

CentOS 6.6 64-bit architecture.

2. PostgreSQL 64-bit software, version 9.1

The PostgreSQL core distribution and download URL is located at http://www.postgresql.org/

download/linux/redhat/.

3. Download the install script from Dell Networking Technical Support. The name of the install file is

AFM-INSTALLER-2.7.0.rpm.

Step 1: Configuring CentOS

Because the default CentOS iptables configuration does not allow access to the HTTP (TCP Port 80)

and HTTPS (TCP Port 443) ports, configure the firewall to allow the web server access.

1. Set the host name of web server. The following example shows how to set the host name to

Centos62.

# vi /etc/sysconfig/network

NETWORKING=yes

HOSTNAME=Centos62

GATEWAY=10.16.148.254

:wq

2. Add the host name in the etc/hosts file. The following example adds the IP address 10.16.148.119 and

host name Centos62 to this file.

# vi /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4

localhost4.localdomain4

::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6

localhost6.localdomain6

10.16.148.119 Centos62

3. Configure the IP table to accept web server ports 443 and 80. AFM uses HTTPs port 443 and HTTP

port 80 for the web server.

# vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables
