Recommended Linux Install Preparation | Preparing for Installation
18 OMNM 6.5.3 Installation Guide
2 Login as root , create a new user with a home directory, set the password, and add the user to
the proper group.
For example, here are the commands to configure the
test user:
useradd -m test
passwd abcxyz
usermod -aG wheel test
The wheel user group allows password-less sudo .
3 Copy the installation files to the local system on which you plan to install the OMNM
application.
4 Make sure that the installation script has permission to execute:
chmod +x linux_install.bin
5 Create the target installation directory and set permissions as the root user.
The following are examples, not defaults:
sudo mkdir -p / installPath
sudo chown :test / installPath
chmod 770 / installPath
If the target install directory does not exist or it does not have write permission, an error
message is displayed during installation. You must resolve this issue before continuing with
the installation.
6 Activate the Network Interface Card (NIC) as follows.
By default, some Linux distributions do not activate the NIC during startup.
nano /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
Change ONBOOT=no to ONBOOT=yes
7 Set SELINUX to disabled in the /etc/selinux/config file.
SELINUX=disabled
8 Reboot your system from the command line.
reboot
This is required for step 6 and step 7 to take effect.
