IMPORTANT:
The Compliance tab is available and supported by Extreme on an
Extreme Management Center engine running the Linux operating system
supplied by Extreme. Other Linux operating systems can support
ExtremeCompliance functionality, but python version 2.7 or higher must be
installed. Additionally ExtremeCompliance functionality requires the git,
python2, python mysql module, python setuptools module, and python
"pygtail" module packages be installed and related dependencies
managed by the customer for their server’s unique operating system and
version.
4.1.1 Installing Without an Internet Connection
If your Linux system requires an operating system upgrade, you are prompted to upgrade
using either an internet connection or locally (without an internet connection) if no
additional Ubuntu packages need to be installed.
!!! ATTENTION !!!
We can attempt to upgrade the OS without using the internet if
there were no extra Ubuntu packages installed. If there were
extraneous packages installed, the upgrade will fail with this
method.
Do you want to attempt a local in-place upgrade of the OS and
reboot when complete? (Y/n)
4.1.2 Custom FlexViews
When reinstalling Extreme Management Center Console, the installation program saves
copies of any FlexViews you created or modified in the
<installdirectory>
\.installer\backup\current\appdata\System\FlexViews folder.
If you are deploying FlexViews via the Extreme Management Center server, save them
in the appdata\VendorProfiles\Stage\MyVendorProfile\FlexViews\My
FlexViews folder.
4.1.3 Custom MIBs and Images
If you are deploying MIBs via the Extreme Management Center server, they are saved in
the appdata\VendorProfiles\Stage\MyVendorProfile\MIBs\ folder.
