Installing on Linux
CAUTION:
If your Linux package already installed a version of the MySQL database, uninstall that database before
proceeding. Also: Do not configure and/or install a database larger than the available disk space.
Install the OpenManage Network Manager (OMNM) application on a single Linux information
system as follows.
1 Log in as a non-root user from an ssh terminal window or GNOME desktop.
The non-root user must have permission to create directories in the selected installation path.
Installing to a directory that requires root-level access fails.
2 Start the installer using one of the following methods:
• Download the OMNM package to your local host in a temporary location and then
enter the following commands on Linux:
cd / MyInstallPath /
./linux_install.bin
If you want to run the installer from the command line, see Installing from the
Command Line on page 37.
• Mount the network drive containing the OMNM package and then run:
/mounted directory/linux_installer.bin
The installation wizard starts.
3 Read and navigate through the Introduction and Software Requirements information.
4 Accept the license agreement.
You must accept the license agreement to continue.
5 Select the Express Install or Custom Install type.
If you selected an
express installation , continue with step 6. If you selected a custom
installation
, continue with step 8.
6 Provide the following information if prompted:
• Number of managed devices
• Network Interface
If multiple network interfaces were detected on your local machine, select the network
address to be used by this software. If your Windows version does not support the
installer finding the host’s IP address, you are prompted for an IP address and Partition
Name for your installation.
After your selections, your system is scanned for database or port conflicts. If you receive any
errors, resolve them before continuing. For example, an existing MySQL service displays an
error or the following running processes could cause a port conflict:
• SNMP service (161)
• Anti-Virus application (25)
7 Continue with step 12.
