44 OMNM 6.5.3 Installation Guide

Answer each prompt appropriately.

If you did not backup your database before starting the update, you are given one more

chance to do so. The database backup is stored in the

installPath

/backup.sql file by default.

If you elect not to rebuild the database, the update still re-seeds the system settings.

If you encounter port conflicts, resolve them before continuing.

The servers automatically start when the update finishes. You may need to reboot the server if

your performance monitor information does not appear.

If you are running either MySQL or Oracle as your database on a separate server, you must

also run

dbpostinstall

on the (primary) Application server before starting your system.

If your upgrade fails, see the install.log, db_setup.log or app_setup.log file in the destination

directory for messages that may help fix the failure.

Importing the OMNM MySQL Database

Upgrades sometimes fail, operating system upgrades could cause database issues, and you may

need to revert back to the database before the upgrade. Make sure that you back up your database

before doing any kind of an upgrade.

Import the OMNM MySQL database as follows.

Shutdown the Application server and Web server.

Confirm no running java process exists.

ps-ef | grep java

Kill any existing java processes.

Drop the database with the following command lines:

mysqladmin -u root --password=dorado drop owmetadb

mysqladmin -u root --password=dorado drop owbusdb

mysqladmin -u root --password=dorado drop lportal

Create a new database with the following command lines:

mysqladmin -u root --password=dorado create owmetadb

mysqladmin -u root --password=dorado create owbusdb

mysqladmin -u root --password=dorado create lportal

Import the backed up database:

mysql -u root --password=dorado owmetadb < owmetadb.mysql

mysql -u root --password=dorado owbusdb < owbusdb.mysql

mysql -u root --password=dorado lportal < lportal.mysql

Start the Application server by entering the

#service oware start

command.

Enter

service oware status

to verify that the Application server is ready.

Start the Web server by entering the

#service synergy start

command.

Enter service

synergy status

to verify that the Web server is ready.
