In version 5.0 or later, user information is managed by using the user management functionality of
XP Command View AE Suite Common Component. The registered user information is migrated to
the XP Command View AE Suite Common Component repository when the Device Manager server
program is started for the first time after the upgrade installation. For this migration, also note the
following points:
• If there is user information that cannot be migrated to the XP Command View AE Suite
Common Component repository due to data corruption or another problem, that information is
output to the Device Manager trace log file. For details about the Device Manager trace log file,
see subsection
5-3-1 .
• If user accounts with the same user ID but different passwords have been registered in both
XP Command View AE Suite Common Component and Device Manager, the user account in
XP Command View AE Suite Common Component overrides the one in Device Manager. The
user account registered in Device Manager becomes unavailable, and information to that effect
is output to the Device Manager trace log file. For details about the Device Manager trace log
file, see subsection
5-3-1 .
• If user accounts that have the same user ID and password have been registered in both XP
Command View AE Suite Common Component and Device Manager, the user account
information in Device Manager is added to the one in XP Command View AE Suite Common
Component.
• You cannot migrate the user account whose user ID is System. The user management
functionality of XP Command View AE Suite Common Component defines this user ID as
having the Admin permission for all XP Command View AE Suite products (version 5.0 or
later).
To perform an upgrade installation or re-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,
the files might be corrupted. In this occurs, 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 reinstall 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 for Linux.
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. If you perform a downgrade installation when the version and revision of Device Manager
edition that you are going to install are the same as that which is already installed, a message
about downgrade installation of Device Manager is displayed. If there is no problem, select y to
continue.
