4-2-2 Performing a new installation
NOTE: If you cancel the installation, the installation directory might remain. If this directory is not
necessary, delete it manually.
WARNING: Before starting installation, make sure that no processing is in progress in other XP
Command View AE Suite products. If any processing is in progress, installation might fail.
To perform a new installation of the Device Manager server:
1. Log in to the Linux system as the root user.
When a user other than a root user attempts installation, the message ERROR: User is not
root is displayed, and the installation then stops.
2. Insert the Device Manager CD-ROM. If the CD-ROM is not automatically mounted, mount the
CD-ROM to /mnt/cdrom.
3. Move the current directory to the directory that stores the installer of Device Manager
(install.sh). And then, execute the following command:
# ./install.sh
WARNING: Do not use Ctrl + C to stop in the middle of the installation. If you stop the installation,
execute the following commands to check the installation progress:
# rpm -qi HDVM
If the Device Manager information is displayed, uninstall (see subsection
4-6-1 for instructions)
and then re-install the Device Manager server.
4. A message indicating that installation will start appears. Press the Enter key to continue.
5. A message appears, asking whether the kernel parameters have been set up. If the parameters
have not been set up, enter n to cancel the installation. If the parameters have been set up,
enter y to continue. For details about setup of the kernel parameters, see section
4-7 .
CAUTION: If the kernel parameters are not set correctly, a message notifies you that the machine
must be restarted after the kernel parameters are reset, and installation stops.
6. When the Common Component services are running in a non-cluster environment, a message
indicating that the installer will stop these services is displayed. If you want to stop the
installation, enter n. If you want to continue the installation, enter y.
If any processing is in progress in other XP Command View AE Suite products, the installer
might fail to stop the services of XP Command View AE Suite Common Component and the
XP Command View AE Suite products. In this case, a message indicating that the installer
failed to stop the services is displayed. If this message is displayed, choose y to try to stop the
services again. If the installer still fails to stop the services, cancel the installation, manually
stop the services of Common Component and the XP Command View AE Suite, and then
perform the installation again.
7. If Common Component is already installed, a message appears, recommending that you make
a backup.
8. If port 162 is not used by any other products, a message that provides notes about receiving
SNMP traps appears. Press the Enter key to continue.
9. If another product is using port 162, a message about the settings for the SNMP Trap reception
function appears. If the SNMP Trap reception function is enabled when another product is using
port 162, Device Manager will not start after installation. If you want to disable the SNMP Trap
reception function to start Device Manager, enter y to continue. If you want to change the
settings of the product that is using port 162 and re-execute the installation, enter n to cancel
the installation.
