Procedure
1 Log in with an account that has root privileges.
2 Turn o the rewall.
If using IPv4:
# su -
# service iptables save
iptables: Saving firewall rules to /etc/sysconfig/iptables: [ OK ]
# service iptables stop
iptables: Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ]
iptables: Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter [ OK ]
iptables: Unloading modules: [ OK ]
# chkconfig iptables off
# service iptables status
iptables: Firewall is not running.
If using IPv6:
# su -
# service ip6tables save
ip6tables: Saving firewall rules to /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables: [ OK ]
# service ip6tables stop
ip6tables: Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ]
ip6tables: Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter [ OK ]
ip6tables: Unloading modules: [ OK ]
# chkconfig ip6tables off
# service ip6tables status
ip6tables: Firewall is not running.
3 Ensure that the open le limit is appropriate by conguring the required minimum.
echo "* - nofile 64000" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
4 Set SELinux to Permissive.
setenforce 0
sed -i "s/SELINUX=[^ ]*/SELINUX=permissive/g" /etc/selinux/config
5 Ensure that node hostname is resolvable.
6 Run the vRealize Operations Manager Enterprise bin installer, and follow the prompts.
Add -i console, -i silent, or -i gui to set the installation mode. The default mode conforms to your
session type, for example, console for terminal connections or gui for X-Windows.
cd /tmp
sh ./vRealize_Operations_Manager_Enterprise.bin -i gui
7 If you are creating a multiple node vRealize Operations Manager cluster, repeat Step 1 through Step 6
on each Linux machine that will serve as a node in your vRealize Operations Manager cluster.
What to do next
Use a Web browser client to congure a newly added node as the vRealize Operations Manager master
node, a data node, a high-availability master replica node, or a remote collector node. The master node is
required rst.
C For security, do not access vRealize Operations Manager from untrusted or unpatched clients, or
from clients using browser extensions.
