In regard to: [Networker] Networker 7.6.2 management console with Redhat...:
Thanks for all ^^
Then if i install Redhat 6.1 i'll be able to install NMC ?
Install? Yes. Have a *working* NMC? Not in my experience.
The Software Compatibility Guide (SCG) appears to currently be
contradicting itself regarding whether NMC is supported on RHEL 6.0 or 6.1,
and I've had EMC support contradict the information in the SCG. When
there are that many contradictions, it's a sign that there's a problem.
We tried the NMC that came with 7.6.2.3 on RHEL 6.1, and had database
corruption. That all went away when we moved the NMC to RHEL 5.7. It's
possible that the NMC that comes with 7.6.2.5 has that issue resolved, but
I've seen no evidence to suggest that. Unless the release notes for NMC
specifically mention support for RHEL 6.1 or a fix related to database
corruption, you will likely run into the same database corruption that we
did.
Have you ever try it ? it seems i've to install a JRE 32bits to use NMC...
The NMC is only available as a 32 bit package. Having a 32 bit package
that requires Java doesn't always mean that you must also have a 32 bit
Java, but in this case I think that it does require the 32 bit java, as
there are 32 bit shared objects that are (I think) loaded, probably via
JNI.
The notes I have in my puppet manifest for NMC indicate that 32 bit
Java is required, so I think I may have tried the 64 bit Java and
discovered that it did not work.
My advice: don't install the NMC on RHEL 6.x (any point release of 6)
until there is clear communication from EMC that NMC works on RHEL 6.
Put it on a RHEL 5.x system, after doing
yum --nogpgcheck localinstall lgtoclnt*.rpm
yum install java-1.6.0-sun.i686
yum downgrade java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.26-1jpp.1.el6.i686
After you have the 1.6.0.26 version of Java installed, be sure to block
updates to it (add an exclude=java-1.6.0-sun to your yum configuration)
until EMC has released a fix for the authentication issues that NMC
has with Java >= 1.6.0.26.
