Installing QConvergeConsole in a Linux Environment
You have the option of installing QConvergeConsole in a Linux environment using
either a GUI or CLI method. To install from the CLI, see “Installing
QConvergeConsole in Silent Mode” on page 134.
You can graphically install QConvergeConsole on a Linux host by running a
Virtual Network Computing (VNC
®
) program on a Windows host. The TightVNC
Viewer, a VNC program, can remotely control QConvergeConsole installation on a
Linux host.
To install QConvergeConsole in a Linux environment:
1. Open the directory containing the installer file, which is one of the following:
 QConvergeConsole_Installer_Linux_i386_<version>.bin
 QConvergeConsole_Installer_Linux_x64_<version>.bin
2. In the terminal window, verify that the installer file has permission to execute
by issuing the ls -lt command at the prompt.
3. To install QConvergeConsole, double-click the QConvergeConsole
installer .bin file.
A prompt asks if you want to run or view the contents of the .bin file.
4. Click Run in Terminal.
The installer extracts the files and installs QConvergeConsole in the
following directory:
/opt/QLogic_Corporation/QConvergeConsole
The InstallAnywhere window prepares to install QConvergeConsole.
5. In the installation Introduction dialog box, click Next.
6. In the Tomcat Port Number Setup dialog box, enter a valid port number in
the range 1025–65536, or accept the default port number, 8080. Then click
Next to continue.
7. In the next dialog box, select Yes if you want a localhost-only installation. If
you do not want a localhost-only installation, select No.
NOTE
The localhost-only option installs QConvergeConsole locally so that
you must run it locally (remote connection is not possible). To disable
the option, you must uninstall QConvergeConsole and then reinstall it,
selecting No in this step.
