Asset Inventory for Unix/Linux

Is this only an eval version? I have the ZCM10 Enterprise edition, and this one item is an eval only, and no one at Novell seems to be able to figure out why, or where to get an activation key. Is is just that it is only an eval, not a real program yet? I've been working with Tyler in the Novell Activation Center, and also Kelli Booth, but neither has come up with an answer. Anyone else seeing this on their ZCM10 Enterprise?
It actually expires on Saturday.....

I'm glad you finally got a good answer.
I don't think folks at Novell were trying to avoid the answer,
I suspect it was just some confusion regarding the new product and all of
it's components.
I know you were initially asking during Brainshare, which sometimes can make
getting an anwer more difficult since many people in the know
are busy all week and tough to get in touch with.

Adobe acrobat for unix/linux

hello, I can't seem to find any downloadable trial adobe acrobat 3.x for unix/linux in the download page.
can anyone provide me the correct link to download it? many thanks!
also I need to convert PDF version from 1.2 to 1.4 in Linux environment. Can anyone suggest suitable product that I can use? Thanks!

There are a lot of differences going from PDF 1.2 to PDF 1.4. But
these are all extra things that MIGHT appear. Every PDF 1.2 file is a
valid PDF 1.4 file, and the idea of converting them really makes no
sense from a practical or administrative point of view. (Of course,
if you had PDF 1.4 files and th company standard was PDF 1.2 it would
be a different story).
Adobe have some Linux software. For example, FrameMaker and the
Distiller Server product.

Show Running Rules and Monitors for this Health Service task for Unix/Linux agents?

I know there is a way to do this for Windows agents, but is there a way to do this for Unix/Linux agents? When I click on the agent I dont see the option in the task pane. Is there something else that I can use?
If you're going to answer my question with pretentiousness or disrespect, move on to another question. I don't need your help. Thank you

Figure it out after some digging

Java IDE for Unix/Linux

Hi everybody
I'm switching to Red Hat Linux. Does anybody know any good IDE for that OS? I'm looking for something not too heavy, don't want to run massive IDE like JBuilder. For example under windows I use JCreator which is quite light, but unfortunately there isn't a Linux version.
Cheers mates

Since this is a J2EE forum, I would recommend NetBeans 4.1 which has excellent web tier (JSP/Servlet) support as well as EJB and Web Services support now.
http://www.netbeans.org/community/releases/41/index.html
There's also a bundle for NetBeans 4.1 + Sun AS 8 2004Q4 here:
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/download.html#nb (full J2EE 1.4 support).
IMO, Eclipse is not there with Web tier development and has no EJB/Web Services support.

LDAP import for Asset Inventory - eDir support?

After reading the docs, it seems to indicate that if you wish to do an LDAP import for Asset Inventory (for demographic data) that you can only do a one to one relationship for the main item types.
Meaning:
eDir User stuff can only be mapped to ZCM "user" stuff
Workstation stuff can only be mapped to ZCM Device stuff.
Since eDir does not have workstation things (unless you happen to be migrating from ZFD, in which case the eDir items will eventually be removed via the AWI process or no longer updated), I have to ask if eDir is truly supported?
I can see AD because users AND computers have to be in AD (well unless you wish to punish yourself and have your pc's be in a workgroup and not be in your AD Domain, but I've yet to see any customer have an AD domain and NOT have their workstations be members of said domain).
But seems the only LDAP import you could do with eDir (especially if ZCM is your first install) is user level items, but I'm not sure that would actually accomplish anything for DEVICES.
We had wanted to take the user level "location" and "department" fields and map them to the workstations. Appears the only way to do this is via the old method used by jared jennings for ZFD (I see he's updated it for ZCM as well)
Am I wrong? Is there a way to map eDir user level attributes to the device so that when you look at Site/Department on the device it has the items based up on the user that logs into it?

Management Pack Templates - Unix/Linux Service template error

Hello,
When I try to run this template I get the following error.
The Page [Microsoft.SystemCenter.CrossPlatform.UI.Authoring.ServiceTemplate.ServiceStateProbePage] in the assembly [Microsoft.SystemCenter.CrossPlatform.UI.Authoring] could not be loaded. Please make sure that hte account you are running under has
sufficient privileges to load the given assembly, or the management pack that defines this page is installed or hte assembly containing the page is in hte path of the executable or that the page derives from known Operations Manager page type.
I tried this from my Computer and the Management server with the same result. My account is in the Ops Admin role and I have no issues creating any of the other templates.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Walter

Just I case anyone else runs across this.
The Online Catalogue UNIX/Linux MPs are only for SCOM 2007 R2. With SCOM 2012 and above we went with Management Pack Bundles [MPBs] and the Online Catalogue does not support them. To get the latest MPs and agents for UNIX/Linux on SCOM 2012 you need to go
to the Microsoft Download Center and search for "System Center 2012 Monitoring Pack for UNIX and Linux Operating Systems". The current release is UR2 which can be found here -->
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29696
This release includes the following:
4/9/2013 - Update release - version 7.4.4119.0 - includes agents with version: 1.4.1-270
The Microsoft.Unix.Service.Library.mp is installed by default with SP1 and we don't expect it to be uninstalled. The Update Releases [UR] only contain MP/Bs that have changed so Rob is correct in that the only place you will find this MP is with the SCOM
2012 SP1 RTM release.

SCOM 2012 SP1 - Trying to import Unix / Linux Management packs - need help

Hello all, I am using SCOM 2012 SP1. I am trying to install the following management packs for Unix/Linux:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29696
When I try to do so, it says that I'm missing some dependent management packs. Two main ones it looks like:
Microsoft.SystemCenter.WSManagement.Library - Version 7.1.10000.0
Microsoft.SystemCenter.OperationsManager.Library - Version 7.1.10000.0
However, I cannot figure out where to get these two other management packs from. I've been googling for an hour now and I'm starting to go in loops. Can anyone give me any suggestions on how to get this updated version of these two management
packs listed above please?

For Microsoft.SystemCenter.WSManagement.Library , you can check below link
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29266
For Microsoft.SystemCenter.OperationsManager.Library, it's already deployed with SCOM installation
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh212701.aspx
Please remember, if you see a post that helped you please click "Vote As Helpful" and if it answered your question, please click "Mark As Answer"
Mai Ali | My blog: Technical
That link for WS Management looks like its the "Microsoft.SystemCenter.OutofBand.SMASH.Library" management pack. It does not appear to be "Microsoft.SystemCenter.WSManagement.Library"
Also, about the "Microsoft.SystemCenter.OperationsManager.Library" one, I do have a version of that in my SCOM already. It appears to be version 7.0.9538.0 though. Apparently theres a version 7.1.10000.0 out there somewhere, based on what I saw
in the messages above when attempting to import the Unix/Linux MPs. I don't know how to update this management pack. I tried searching the catalog for "Microsoft System Center Operations Manager Library" but that didn't find any results.
So I still do not have either of the versions I need of either management packs.

SCOM 2012 R2 UR4 upgrade question - where exactly is the UNIX/Linux agent?

I am practicing the UR4 on a test |SCOM environment (my first upgrade) and our UNIX Admins have requested the "UNIX/Linux agent" so they can create packages to upgrade the UNIX/Linux agents when the time comes.
I have downloaded all the UR4 updates/software. Where exactly is the agent for UNIX/Linux machines?
I opened the "Update Rollup 4 for Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 - Operations Manager Agent (KB2992020)" folder and I saw the following agents:
amd64-agent.msp
i386-agent.msp
Are one of these the UNIX/Linux agents?
I know I'm overlooking something here since this is my first time. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
After deploy UR4: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2992020
Installation instructions for Operations Manager - UNIX and Linux Monitoring (Management Pack Update)

Unable to see views Active Alerts, Discovered Inventory, Distributed Applicatios, Task Status, Unix/Linux Computers, Windows Computer under Monitoring workspace after upgrading to UR6

Hi All,
Recently I upgraded SCOM 2012 SP1 CU5 to CU6 and facing following issue:
1. New menu item got grayed out that appears upon the right click on Monitoring node(root) under monitoring workspace.
2. When we click Monitoring in the navigation pane, the Monitoring Overview opens, which displays a summary of health states and alerts. if we click any of the numbers in the overview, it is supposed to open a state view of the selected category but
this function does not work now.
3. Views like Active Alerts, Discovered Inventory, Distributed Applications, Task Status, Unix/Linux Computers and Windows Computer do not appear under Monitoring workspace after upgrading to UR6.
Has anyone out there facing such kind of issue? Any help on fixing these issues would be appreciating. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Have you re-opened the operation manager console?
There are some known issues when intalling UR6, please go through it:

In addition, there is CU7 for SCOM sp1, why not installing the newest one:

It's possible the upgrade did not update everything properly as it looks like a dll mismatch or a missing file. I'd open a support ticket with MS and have a support engineer look at the upgrade logs. What version of SCOM did you upgrade from?

Differences between Oracle 8i for a UNIX Platform and Oracle 8i for a Linux Platform

Hello,
J would like to know if there are some differences between Oracle 8i for a UNIX Platform and Oracle 8i for a Linux Platform.
I know that there are some differences on Oracle 8i Parallel Server and i know that some products are not include like precompiler (Mod*Ada, Pro*FORTRAN) on a Linux Platform.
Thank you.

We have installed Oracle 8i on Solaris 8 and it had a great performance, of course that the hardware and licence invested here was costed my the office where i work. Personaly i'd installed linux reh hat 8 and oracle 8i, imagine that, it could be implemented by any individual that has the time to do so.
By buyinng from a company that has a good background you could be sure that you will have support.
Bottom line, if you have the $ to buy great hardware go for a unix platform. But if you don't a Red Hat Linux Server Licence with a 1 year sopport and Oracle data base is about 3500Dls.

Using Oracle driver in JDBC for Unix and Linux based servers

Please, let me know how to mention the Oracle driver within the forName.class(" "); statement in the Jdbc-Servlet for Unix and Linux based servers.
I'm using Windows-OS for Java programming. Should I have to use the same environment(Unix/Linux with Oracle) for compiling or just compiling, mentioning the driver in the java program would suffice?
Please, Help me.
Thank You.
from,
Silas eschole.

[email protected]

I've used Oracle's thin driver like this:
Class.forName ( "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" );
Connection DBConnection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:USER/PASSWD@database" );
You need Oracles client classes ( e.g. classes111.zip ) at run time, not during compilation.
Thin client connects directly to the Oracle DB, so the database description is like PORT:MACHINE:SID
Connection is made through Oracle's listener even when your DB is in the same machine that your program is running. Port number is propably 1521 or 1526, depending on your listener.ora definitions and used Oracle SQL*Net version.

XMLMark for UNIX like Operating Systems (Solaris, Linux, etc.)

Hi All,
I want to run the XMLmark benchmark I found and downloaded from
http://java.sun.com/developer/codesamples/webservices.html#Performance
in Solaris 10 or Red Hat Linux but the environment and configuration scripts are for Windows.
I wonder if we have a distribution or version of XMLmark for a UNIX
like Operating System.
Decided to post this, just in case somebody has a version for UNIX like OS, before I start the effort of porting it ... :( ... I am not a Microsoft Windows expert.
Thanks in advance,
Carlos.

I ended up porting to shell the run_xmlmark.bat file. This is what the contents of run_xmlmark.sh look like:
#!/bin/sh
# Run XMLMark Java test on a Solaris/UNIX platform
# Carlos A. Morillo
# 11/01/2007
JAVA_HOME=/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.5.0
export JAVA_HOME
echo $JAVA_HOME
XMLMARK_HOME=$HOME/src/java/XMLMark
export XMLMARK_HOME
echo $XMLMARK_HOME
ANT_HOME=/auyantepui/apache-ant-1.7.0
export ANT_HOME
echo $ANT_HOME
# Run the Java part
for f in $XMLMARK_HOME/ini/xmlmark_*.ini; do
$ANT_HOME/bin/ant -f $XMLMARK_HOME/Java/src/xmlmark.xml run-xmlmark -DiniFile=$f
done
Also I had to modify all the all the $XMLMARK_HOME/ini/xmlmark_*.ini files so instead of having "\\" in a file name, they have instead "//".
