Installed software
This option can be used to determine the version number of the installed software. A list of the installed rpm’s is also
given.
Upgrade from CD
This option for upgrading of the server software only becomes available after initial installation of the software.
The release notes that accompany each software release describe the procedure to be used to upgrade to that release.
Reboot
The server should be rebooted after completion of the single node or high availability installation process. If this was not
done previously, the administrator has the option to reboot the server now. If [n] is chosen, the server will have to be
rebooted later.
System Monitor Settings
Use the following procedure to enable monitoring of various BluStar Application Server system services; and to enable
email notification with disk space monitoring.
8. The screen displays output indicating progress of the software installation. Near the end of the process which may take
several minutes, the system prompts you as follows:
BluStar Application Server software installation Complete!
This server must be REBOOTED to start functioning. Do you want to reboot now? ([y]/n)?
9. Press Enter to accept the default y response, and reboot the server.
Note:
Contact the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) if you need assistance, e.g., if errors are encountered.
10. Proceed to System Monitor Settings on page 2-15.
Notes:
• After installing the BluStar Application Server Software, do not alter the Application Server IP address or hostname
using ./vconfig. These settings should be changed using the BluStar Application Server Web UI.
• Please refer to Fail-Over on page 11-1
for more details on fail-over installations.
Note:
Upgrading software may in some cases destroy some configuration data. Contact the Technical Assistance Center
before attempting to upgrade a system that may contain critical configuration data such as user contacts or other con-
figuration information.
1. Using a web browser, go to http://server_ip_address and log in to the BluStar Application Server Web UI.
(The default root user password for the web-platform-admin role is blustar.)
2. Visit the Platform :: System Monitor Settings page, and click the Edit button.
3. On the resulting screen, shown in the image below, it is recommended that users enable Monitor Services for all
services; and that they Enable Notifications via email and also enable Disk Space Alerts. You must supply the SMTP
server hostname or IP address, and at least one email address to which the notifications will be sent. The recommended
disk space monitor setting is to send an alert when the devices become 70% full. You may also specify the number of
log lines to be included in the email. You may also set a threshold value for the CPU temperature that triggers a warning
email if the value is exceeded.
4. Click the Save button to save the settings.
5. Logout of the BluStar Application Server Web UI.
Note:
Disabling Monitored Services will cause the server to become unavailable. Service monitoring and disk space alerting
should only be disabled in exceptional circumstances, i.e., if there are specific reasons preventing their implementa-
tion.
