Avoiding port conflicts
If any of the Command View AE Suite products use a port number that is also used by another product
on the management server, the affected products may not operate correctly.
To avoid port conflicts, execute the netstat command and check the output for conflicts.
Prerequisites for the management server (Linux)
Before installing Command View AE Suite in a Linux environment, verify that the host environment
satisfies installation conditions.
To do this, write localhost and the server host name to the /etc/hosts file.
About setting kernel parameters and shell restrictions (Linux)
Before installing Command View AE Suite on Linux, set the kernel parameters. In Linux, also set shell
restrictions.
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server: Set the kernel parameters in the /
etc/sysctl.conf and the shell restrictions in the /etc/security/limits.conf files.
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6: Set the kernel parameters in the /etc/sysctl.conf and the restric-
tions in the /etc/security/limits.conf
and /etc/security/limits.d/90-nproc.conf files.
