ACE Blade ANM 1.1 installation requirement : RHEL really needed

Hello,
has anyone tried to install ANM 1.1 to manage the ACE Blades on anything other than red hat enterprise 4.
I tried yesterday on Centos (the free RHEL) and I got a strange error while running the installer. (something about beeing unable to read from `33'.)
Also, it was on a VMWARE image, so that might be an issue too.
Thanks

The install scripts are going to give you hassles, as well as figuring out which RPMs to have lined up. Depending on your particular CENTOS build you might be able to figure it bit by bit, but there is no guidance written out anywhere on what is in, what is out, which to use. I suspect it would be a somewhat messy process -- If you really wanted to do it (unsupported but you wanted to anyway) then reverse engineering from a RHEL install setup is how I'd go about it. Even then, and while ANM is pretty well behaved, I don't know if there's a variation in something underlying that won't bite you down the road.
Of course if someone else did this already and is having success, that'd be good to know too.
Mind you I'm speaking as the product manager for ANM so my response is of course going to be stilted to the supported.
Cheers,
David K.

    Domain Name System (DNS) Resolver Parameters
    Two Domain Name System (DNS) resolver parameters (timeout and attempts) are set by default to low values when the operating system is installed. These low values may cause attempted network connections to an Oracle database to fail. If this happens, add or update the following entries to these minimum settings in the /etc/resolv.conf file on each server node:
    options attempts:5
    options timeout:15
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 3.0 and 4.0 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 and 9
    Verifying Host Names
    Use the following to verify host name settings:
    For Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 3.4 and 4.0:
    Verify that the /etc/hosts file is formatted as follows:
    127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain
    <ip_address> <node_name>.<domain_name>
    Verify that the /etc/sysconfig/network file is formatted as follows:
    HOSTNAME=<node_name>.<domain_name>
    If the /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/network file exists, remove it.
    If you changed any files in the previous steps, restart the system.
    Modifying the Number of Open File Descriptors
    Open the /etc/security/limits.conf file and change the existing values for "hard" and "soft" parameters as follows. Restart the system after making changes.
    For Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 3.0, 4.0, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9:
    hard nofile 65535
    soft nofile 4096
    Modifying Port Range Values
    Open the /etc/sysctl.conf file and change the value of net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range as follows. Restart the system after making changes.
    net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 10000 65000
    Please note that this range is a recommended range, and may need to be adjusted according to the specific needs of the user's environment in order to avoid port conflicts.
    Setting the Environment
    Verify that the host name setting is correct. The command should return a fully qualified host name. For example: <host_name>.<domain_name>.
    # hostname
    For the hugemem kernel, install rpm setarch-1.0-2 or higher. (For up, smp, and boot kernels, omit this step.) This step is not required for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8.
    # setarch i386
    Completing Preinstallation Tasks
    Complete these tasks after you set the environment variables and before you begin the installation steps described in Installing Oracle Applications.
    Unset the NLS_LANG environment variable, if it is defined prior to installation.
    Apply one of these OS library patches: 4198954 (for Red Hat 4.0) or 3006854 (for Red Hat 3.0). You can download these patches from OracleMetaLink.
    Restart your system.
    groupadd dba
    useradd -g dba appltest
    useradd -g dba oratest
    Completing Postinstallation Tasks
    After the installation is complete, perform the following tasks in addition to the ones described in Installing Oracle Applications:
    Apply patch 4632932 to all the application tiers, then re-source the applications environment file to refresh the environment variables. This patch is required for setting the values for LD_ASSUME_KERNEL and LD_PRELOAD.
    Should be missing kernel parameters and some other utilities like ar,make,gcc etc
    Thanks,
    SM

    Hi,
    Please can someone help me to get the Patch 4198954. Why don't you download it from MOS website? I believe no one is supposed to download the patch from MOS and send it to you by email as this violates Oracle support agreement policy.
    Thanks,

  • Oracle Application Server 10g R2 32bit installation on RHEL 5.4 64 bit

    Hi !
    Is it possible to install 32 bit Oracle Application Server 10g R2 on 64 bit RHEL 5.4?
    Is there some spacial care I need to take to do this?
    Regards,
    GC

    May be possible but it is probably not tested by Oracle nor is it supported as error correction support for OAS 10g has finished more than a year ago.
    A good starting point is My Oracle Support Note [url https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=564174.1]564174.1, "Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2) Installation Requirements for Linux OEL 5 and RHEL 5". Make sure that you always use a 32-bit emulated shell (linux32 bash).

  • APEX 4.0.1 installation requirements

    Cheers,

    Hi Dietmar,
    Yes - you fulfill the requirements. In a true 10.2.0.1 DB environment (not XE), you would not even be able to install APEX 4.0.1.
    The primary requirement for database version 10.2.0.3 is the change made to SYS.DBMS_SYS_SQL.PARSE, where the ability to observe database roles was added. I highly doubt this feature would be disabled by setting compatible to 10.2.0.1.

  • Installer requires Admin Privilege to run

    I'm a new user on a Macbook. Its been about 20 years since I last was on an apple. I need help, I'm trying ton install a game on my laptop. When I click on the installer to install the game a window pops up saying "installer requires Admin privilege to run" and the only option is to quit. What do I need to do to get this game installed?
    Thanks so much!!

    /Applications/Utilities/Disc Utility - a very handy tool in all sorts of situations.
    I'm most surprised that a new account with admin permissions wasn't able to perform the install I'm at a loss what might be causing that to be honest ... maybe the repair permissions on the drive will sort it out, perhaps the entire folder has had write access removed somehow. You could select the destination folder location and Get Info on it and look at the permissions settings at the bottom, does it allow any user to Write there or is it Read only I wonder ?

  • Why do I get the message "The installer requires admin priviledges to run" when trying to install from a DVD?

    I am trying to install software from a DVD on my Mac Mini, When I click on the installer I get the message "The installer requires admin priviledges to run." I have admin priviledges when I look at the account info in Sytem Preferences. ANyone have an idea what to do about this?

    It's a defective installer. If it needs elevated privileges to run, it should prompt for an administrator password. Since the installer is defective, you can assume that whatever it installs -- or would install, if it worked -- is also defective.

  • Why do i get a "codec installation required" message?

    Why do i get a "codec installation required" message when trying to play avi files? Im using QT7 on a mac, v10.6.7?, Why do i get a "codec installation required" message when trying to play avi files? Im using QT7 on a mac, v10.6.7?

    Why do i get a "codec installation required" message when trying to play avi files?
    Probably because you do not have an audio and/or video codec used for compressing/decompressing data in the AVI file. AVI, like MOV, are just file containers capable of holding many different kinds of data. The originator of the AVI file (Microsoft) dropped its official support of this file type more than a decade ago but its popularity with Windows users lingers on. Unfortunately, with few exceptions, the compression formats commonly used in the AVI file container may or may not still be in use. Some were never transcoded for use on the Mac platform. Others are so old that they have never been updated for use under OS X. Of thise transcoded for OS X use, some have not been updated for Intel based platforms. Thus, while QT supports the container itself, it does not natively support the third-party and/or proprietary codecs used, many of which, are now classed as "legacy" codecs and are out of date in terms of today's video compression technology.

  • ACE Ft config sync question during primary ACE blade replacement

    I am replacing my primary ACE blade and am wondering if when I reconfigure the admin context with the ft groups will I have any issues syncing the secondary back to the primary? I don't want to run the risk of a blank config from the new primary blade being pushed to secondary.
    Any help is appreciated.
    thanks

    Treat the current as primary and put the new module as a secondary (by applying low priority vlaues for ft vlans ) and disable premption.
    Complete steps will be...
    Before putting the new module in, configure the standby (which should be acting as master -- since primary is out) module with the "no-preempt" option on each FT vlan.
    Now with new module
    1. Bring the new ACE module online and upgrade it to the same software than is running on the temp master.
    2. Define all of your resource-maps, FT vlans
    3. Add "no preempt", set a lower "priority" than is defined on the peer (temp master)
    4. Install any SSL certificates
    5. Define your context (repeating the same for SSL certs if necessary).
    6. Add the command "ft auto-sync" to your Admin context.
    7. Once the configuration has synced, (by confirming the FT status is now
    "FSM_FT_STATE_STANDBY_HOT"), you're ready to perform the FT switch over.
    8.In your Admin context, change the peer priority to be lower than the new
    master for each FT group, then issue the command "ft switchover X",
    replacing X with each FT group beginning in the Admin context, then doing the same in your other context.
    Thanks

  • Installer: Installation requires Windows XP

    Hi,
    when creating an installer with Win XP and LV 2009, I can check the box for requirements: Win 2000 or higher.
    But, when trying to run the setup.exe on a Win 2000 system, the error message: This installation requires Windows XP pops up.
    Any help?
    Thx in advance,

    You should make a verbose log, and test my last tip (also combined with my first tip) here http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Win2000/m-p/1238020#M524213 I do not have any Win2000 systems any more so I can not test it. I suspect it is the installer system itself that require windows XP

  • Installation Requirements for Oracle Apps Forms and Report Services OEL

    Hi all.
    Where can i find detail information about the installation requirements for Oracle Application Server Forms and Report Services under OEL 4 (Oracle Enterprise Linux) or OEL 5?
    It seems there's only information about Oracle Application Server in general, not the reduced or partiuclar distribution, Forms and Reports Services.
    Thanks in advance ....!

    I already saw the documentation for Forms and Reports Services Installation.
    This thread is about the specific requirements, if any, for this product on OEL 5 or OEL 4.
    See, there's a note on Metalink(546174.1) regarding some specific issues about installing Oracle Application Server on OEL5, but i'm not sure if this involves Oracle Application Server Forms and Reports Services.
    The idea is to know if these issues applies to this specific distribution .
    Hope you understand my question now. Thanks in advance

  • This installer requires admin privileges to run

    I'm trying to install a new Application (ViaCAD 2D/3D). I get the message "This installer requires admin privileges to run" with no option to enter admin password.
    Thing is, I am clearly the Admin user with all privs.
    Searched a lot of forums and tried a lot of ideas... but to no avail. Prior installations proceeded without error. Of course, the manufacturer support simply blamed Apple and closed the support question. Console log shows no errors.
    This one has me totally stumped (and I have 20+ years admin experience).

    Update:
    The application installed on another system running 10.4. On the offending system, I tried another Admin account, ran repair permissions from Utilities, made sure Admin had R/W privs on Apps folder, moving the .dmg file to the Applications folder, did a reboot, searched for a VidCad plist file. Out of ideas.
