Install vCenter Operations Manager on Linux - Console Mode
Install vCenter Operations Manager on a supported version of Linux.
Prerequisites
If a previous version of vCenter Operations Manager is already installed on the Linux host, you must stop
its processes before you install vCenter Operations Manager. You can do this using the script file vcops.sh.
Run the script with the stop parameter:
vcops.sh stop
To make sure the services have all stopped, use the status parameter:
vcops.sh status
Procedure
1 Using binary mode, upload vcops.bin to the target Linux host.
2 Navigate to the folder containing vcops.bin. Change the permission on this file to make it executable:
chmod +x vcops.bin

./vcops.bin –i console
