Hi,
Several questions on installation of the NetWorker Management Console
software on Linux. We have the required JRE, so we'll be starting with
step 6 in the guide. This will be installed on the primary backup
server, and I'd like to put it under /nsr/lgtonmc
QUESTION 1. I assume this can be installed last, after the client,
storage node and server software has been installed, correct?
From the 7.5 Installation guide (Linux installation section):
>> 6. Start the NetWorker daemons, if not already started. “Task 3:
Start the NetWorker daemons”
>> 7. To install the NetWorker Console software, type:
rpm -ivh lgtonmc-7.5.x86.rpm
>> By default, the software is installed in /opt.
>> 8. (Optional) To install the man pages and the appropriate language
>> support packages, type the commands in Table 30 on page 95.
>> 9. Run this configuration script to install the lgtonmc package in
the /opt/lgtonmc directory:
>> /opt/lgtonmc/bin/nmc_config
QUESTION 2. We don't have an /opt partition, but we can create one. Is
this where it should go, or is there another place that will do? How do
we tell it to install it somewhere else? Do we need to edit the config
script?
QUESTION 3. I'm confused over the difference between steps 7 and 9? Do
we still need to run the script in step 9 above? If so, how do we tell
it to put it under some other directory like, for example, /nsr/lgtonmc
The guide then lists these steps:
>> 11. 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.
>> 12. For the Console server, use the default port number (9001) or
use >> a custom port number. Valid port numbers are between 1024 and 49151.
>> Note: Do not use port numbers already in use. Port 2638 is reserved
>> by the NetWorker Console software by using the Tabular Data Stream
(TDS) protocol to communicate with
>> the database. Port 9002 is the preferred port for EMC Backup Advisor
product.
QUESTION 4: At what point do we specify these values and how do we do
this? Will it prompt us, or do we edit the config script?
>> 13. Specify the directory to use for the lgtonmc database (for
example, /export/home/lgto_gstdb).
QUESTION 5: How do we specify this? Should this be a different directory
than what we provide in step 9, say, for example, /nsr/lgtogstdb instead
of /nsr/lgtonmc?
