90 EMC NetWorker Release 8.1 SP1 Installation Guide
Linux Installation
1. If you have already installed the NetWorker client software on the host:
• Confirm that the NetWorker Remote Exec daemon, nsrexecd, is started:
ps -ef | grep nsr
• Start nsrexecd, if required:
/etc/init.d/networker start
2. Install NetWorker from the directory that contains the extracted NetWorker software
packages. On RHEL use yum or rpm to install the NetWorker software. On SuSE you can
only use rpm.
•To use yum, type:
yum localinstall --nogpgcheck lgtoclnt*.rpm lgtonmc*.rpm
where you specify lgtoclnt*.rpm only if you did not previously install the NetWorker
client software.

If yum cannot install missing package dependencies, yum fails and provides a list
of missing packages. Manually install the package dependencies then run the yum
command again.
•To use rpm, type:
rpm -ivh lgtoclnt*.rpm lgtonmc*.rpm
where you specify lgtoclnt*.rpm only if you did not install the NetWorker client
software previously.

When the operating system packages that NetWorker requires are missing, the rpm
command provides a list of missing packages and does not install the NetWorker
software. Manually install missing package dependencies then run the rpm
command again.
Configuring the Console server software
Use the nmc_config command to configure the Console server software program.
1. Start the configuration script:
/opt/lgtonmc/bin/nmc_config
2. Specify a non-root user/group with limited privileges. The Console server uses this
user/group to run the web server. For example, use the default user/group
[nobody/nobody].
3. For the web server port number, use the default port number (9000) or use a custom
port number. Valid port numbers are between 1024 and 49151.
4. For the Console server, use the default port number (9001) or use a custom port
number. Valid port numbers are between 1024 and 49151.
