76 OMNM 6.5.3 Installation Guide
• To change the default HTTP/HTTPS port numbers for web services, add the following
properties to
owareapps/installprops/lib/installed.properties :
oware.appserver.web.http.port=[default port number:8080]
oware.appserver.web.https.port=8443
You may then change the port values for these property entries and restart the Application
server. Special setup (outside the scope of this document) is necessary to run a Web server on
port numbers lower than 1024 on many operating systems.
CAUTION:
Do not change the system time while the Application server is running. If you must change the system
time, shut down the server before the change, and restart it afterwards.
Web Portal Properties
If you do not use the ipaddresschange script, you will also have to change the IP address for
the sake of the web portal. Change this in
portal-ext.properties in
\oware\synergy\tomcat-7.0.70\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes
Change property: jdbc.default.url=jdbc:mysql://[IP address]/
lportal?useUnicode\=true&characterEncoding\=UTF-
8&useFastDateParsing\=false
and
oware.appserver.ip=[IP address]
So these reflect the correct IP address, then restart the web service.
Proactive Runtime Management
To insure OMNM continues to run smoothly long after you have installed it, best practice is to take
the following precautions. For more about this, see
Troubleshooting Installation Issues .
• Make sure you configure database archiving policies (DAPs) to suit your system, particularly if
you have device messaging (typically alarms and syslog) that threaten to fill your database.
• Occasionally check the Audit Trails to ensure DAPs are running properly.
• Configure your syslog and alarm events to only catch significant ones.
• Configure devices to suppress their own messages if these messages are unimportant.
Using Two Interfaces
While installation accommodates selecting between two interfaces, some rare occasions require
communicating with both. When that occurs you must add the additional IP address, not selected
during installation, to the Application server’s
tomcat-server.xml listener so it can
communicate with the webserver on the other IP. The following changes make this work:
Add to /dorado
/oware/synergy/conf/server-overrides.properties on fresh
installation:
oware.appserver.ip=192.197.95.2
(The address above is an example of IP address not selected during installation.)
