Installation Issue on Linux Platforms Using RPM v4.1.1 (Linux
only)
Symptom:
If you want to install CA Event Management or CAICCI in a non-default location on a
Linux platform that has RPM v4.1.1 installed on it, you must first create a symbolic link
from the default location to the non-default location. Otherwise, the installation fails.
Note: All symbolic links must be created from the root user account.
Solution:
You can determine the RPM version on the Linux platform by issuing the following
command in a terminal window:
rpm --version
To create a symbolic link to change the installation location of CA Shared Components
from the default location (/opt/CA/SharedComponents) to a non-standard location:
1. Issue the following command if the /opt/CA directory does not exist:
mkdir –p /opt/CA
The /opt/CA directory is created.
2. Issue the following command:
ln –s <non-default location> /opt/CA/SharedComponents
Example: ln –s /tools/CA/SharedComponents /opt/CA/SharedComponents
The symbolic link is created.
To create a symbolic link to change the installation location of CA Event Managers or
Agent Technology from the default location (/opt/CA/SharedComponents/ccs) to a

exist:
mkdir –p /opt/CA/SharedComponents
The /opt/CA/SharedComponents directory is created.
2. Issue the following command:
ln –s <non-default location> /opt/CA/SharedComponents/ccs
Example: ln –s /usr/local/CA/NSM /opt/CA/SharedComponents/ccs
The symbolic link is created.
