•When you install the management server on Linux, you must install the software using a POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface) shell, such as sh. C Shell is not supported.

•If you receive a message saying there is not enough room in the temp directory to perform the installation, set the IATEMPDIR variable to another directory. The installation uses this directory to extract the installation files. Refer to the documentation for your operating system for information on how to set this variable.

•You must install the management server on a machine with a static IP address.

•When you install the management server on Linux, the following files from InstallAnywhere are left with writable permissions, and they should not be modified. Modifying them may impact other installations that use InstallAnywhere:

•$mgr_dist/Uninstall_<product_name>/.com.zerog.registry.xml where $mgr_dist is the location where the management server is installed

•/var/.com.zerog.registry.xml

•Verify that the required software is available on your system as described in ”Software Dependencies for Storage Essentials” on page 62.

Management server installation on Linux requires a non-loopback IP address to start the Management Server (appstormanager service). Linux requires the Fully Qualified Domain Name and the IP address on separate lines on /etc/hosts for the management server to start. This is the OS default.)

The following is an example of the acceptable format:

# cat /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1localhost.localdomain localhost 15.115.235.13 meet.lab.usa.co.com meet

The following format is unacceptable:

#cat /etc/hosts meet.lab.usa.co.com.meet localhost.localdomain.localhost

SLES10 may have an entry for 127.0.0.2 in /etc/hosts against the host name for that system. Comment out or remove the line that maps the IP address 127.0.0.2 to the systems fully qualified hostname. Retain only that line that contains the actual IP address mapped to the fully qualified host name.

Example:

#cat /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1localhost

127.0.0.2demo.novell.com demo 192.168.1.5 demo.novell.com demo

In the example shown above, remove or comment the line in bold as shown in the middle line. To install the management server:

1.Access the Linux host as described in ”Accessing the Linux Host” on page 75.
