Installation 45
Fixed IP Address
OpenManage Network Manager is a web server, among other things, and so must be installed to a
host with a fixed IP address. For demonstration purposes, you can rely on dynamic IP address
assignment (DHCP) with a long lease, but this is not recommended for production installations.
Windows Prerequisites
This application requires a temp directory on the host where it is being installed. If the install
launcher cannot extract a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), then it cannot run. The launcher extracts a
JVM to a temp directory and then starts the installer main using this temp JVM.
Windows typically has a temp directory,
WINDOWS\temp . Installation expects that TEMP or TMP
environment variable exists and points to this temp directory (check in a command shell with
cd
%TEMP%
or cd %TMP% ) .
You can also execute the win_install.exe installation from a command line to override temp
directory locations with this command line:
win_install.exe -is:tempdir c:\mytemp
CAUTION:
The correct executable to install the application is win_install.exe. Setup.jar is an executable jar file that
may appear to initiate the installation but installation will not be successful.
Although it is not always necessary, during installation or uninstallation best practice is to disable
any virus protection software, and any other running application. Some applications have
additional services (like Norton Unerase™) that prevent correct installation on some systems. Stop
these in Services in Control Panel’s Administrative Tools.
This application cannot co-exist with other installations of Cygwin on the same Windows
computer. Do not install it where Cygwin is already installed, either separately or as part of another
application. If Cygwin is already installed, remove it before installing this application.
If they are present, turn off Microsoft Windows SNMP Services and Traps.
Linux Prerequisites
If you are installing on Linux, you must log in as a non-root user. Linux installation prompts you to
run some additional scripts as root.
When installing to Linux, ensure you are installing as a user with the correct permissions, and are
in the correct group. You must configure the installation directory so this user and group have all
permissions (770, at least). You may install without any universal (“world”) permissions. However,
you must create a home directory for the installing user.
NOTE:
All files created during installation respect a umask of 007. All files from setup.jar are 770. Files from
ocpinstall -x are set for 660. Bin scripts from ocpinstall -x are 770.
