OMNM 6.5.3 Installation Guide 85
Network Interfaces/
Network Address
Address Lists the network interfaces detected on the local machine. Select
or enter which address to use for the OMNM application.
If you selected Express installation, your system is scanned for
port conflicts. If conflicts are found, the Warning! Possible port
conflicts window is displayed. Otherwise, the installation starts. If
you did not create the install folder before starting the installer,
you will get an Invalid Install Folder error.
If you selected Custom installation, the next option is Heap
Settings.
Heap Settings Max Allows you to customize the number of devices monitored by the
OMNM application and the number of concurrent OMNM users
by setting the maximum values for:
• Application Server Heap Settings (Gigabytes)
• Synergy Web Services Heap Settings (Gigabytes)
The default values are 3 for the application server and 2 for the
Web service. By default, these settings support 100 devices or less
and 25 concurrent users. Refer to the OpenManage Network
Manager Quick Start Guide and the User Guide for additional
Heap settings supported.
MySQL Setup Data Path Specifies the database location. The default location is:
installPath
/OpenManager/Network Manager/oware3rd/
mysql
Initial Size Is the database capacity allocated during database creation.
Max Size Controls the database growth. If left blank, the growth is
unlimited as needed until the disk is full. If a maximum is
specified, the capacity grows as needed up to the maximum size
specified.
Best practice is to configure Database Archiving Policies (DAPs)
to prevent a full disk. See Database Management
If a firewall was not detected, there were no port conflicts, or both,
the installation starts.
The installer checks for a running third-party MySQL instance. If there is a MySQL
service running, a conflicting software found warning is displayed. Continue with the
installation and the OMNM installer stops the running MySQL service and then
creates and starts its own service named MySQL.
Note: The pre-existing third-party MySQL instance and any of its related databases
are not deleted. Only the service is deleted and recreated.
Windows Firewall
Detected - Allow
Access?
Allow/Do not
allow firewall
access
Specifies whether to allow firewall access when a firewall is
detected.
If you allow firewall access, rules are automatically added to the
Windows Firewall Inbound Rules list.
If you do not allow the firewall, the OMNM application does not
perform as intended. A list of programs requiring firewall access is
displayed after installation so that you can manually configure the
firewall.
The default is to allow firewall access.
