Linux prerequisites

Keep the following in mind when installing the Device Manager agent in a Linux environment:

• Do not create a symbolic link for any of the following directories. If you have already created a

symbolic link for any of these directories, do not install the Device Manager Agent:

• /opt

• All subdirectories under /opt/HDVM (including /opt/HDVM)

• /var

• /var/opt

• All subdirectories under /var/opt/HBaseAgent (including /var/opt/HBaseAgent)

• All subdirectories under /var/opt/HDVM (including /var/opt/HDVM)

• A Linux firewall might prevent communication between the Device Manager agent and the Device

Manager server. Before installing the Device Manager agent in Linux, determine if a Linux firewall

is in place.

If you are installing on a Linux system that has a firewall:

1. Disable iptables by executing the following command on the Linux host:

iptables stop

2. Make one of the following changes:

- Configure the host not to start iptables when the Linux starts.

- Configure iptables to release the port in use.
