Product(s): APTARE IT Analytics (10.6)

Task 4: Install the Portal application binaries (Linux)

This section covers the installation of the Portal application binaries. Typically, the Portal binaries are installed on the same server as the Oracle Database binaries, although in some cases, a separate server may be designated.

System: Portal Server

Note the instructions provided with your purchase agreement confirmation and consult Veritas Support, if you require additional assistance.

To install the Portal binaries

Login as root on the server where APTARE IT Analytics Portal will be installed. Typically, this is the same server where you installed the Oracle binaries.
Go to the downloads section under Support at www.veritas.com and click the relevant download link.
Mount the ISO image that you downloaded.
```
mkdir /mnt/diska
```
```
mount -o loop <sc_installer_xxxxx_linux.iso> /mnt/diska
```
where you substitute the relevant name of the ISO file that you downloaded.
Enter the following commands to start the installer:
```
cd /
/mnt/diska/aptareInstaller.sh
```

Determine what Portal server configuration you are deploying.

**********************************************************************
* APTARE IT Analytics Vers 10.6 Installer
**********************************************************************
APTARE IT Analytics requires a Web Server and a Database server.
You might want those to be separate machines or the same machine.
This script will only install the Web Server components.
Will this machine be the Web Server (y/n)?

Enter y if the machine is going to be the Portal web server. Otherwise, enter n to cancel the installation.

Enter y if you have the mounted ISO image. Otherwise, enter n to cancel the installation.
Press Enter to continue the installation. The End User License Agreement (EULA) is displayed.
Read the EULA. At the end of the EULA, the following output is displayed:
```
Please type 'accept' to accept these Terms and Conditions:
```
Type accept (all lowercase) and pressEnter. Otherwise, type any other key and Enter to cancel the installation.
The installer will now copy and unzip the files. This may take several minutes depending on the performance of your system. The overall duration of the Portal installation is typically between 15 - 25 minutes.
Enter your domain name.
```
We need to configure machine names and IP addresses for the
APTARE IT Analytics Portal, Agent and database server.
The portal and agent machines will be called
aptareportal.yourdomain and
aptareagent.yourdomain
Please enter your domain name: (yourdomain.com)
```
If the domain name displayed in parentheses is correct, press Enter. Otherwise, enter the correct domain name and press Enter.
Note:
The domain name value you enter here determines the URL that will be used to login to the APTARE IT Analytics Web GUI. For example, if you enter companyabc.com, the URL will be http://aptareportal.companyabc.com. You must make a note of the domain value since you will be asked for this value during the installation of the Data Collection components that collect data from the servers in your enterprise.
Validate the system's IP address for the Portal.
```
Please enter IP Address for aptareportal.yourdomain: (N.N.N.N)
```
If the IP Address displayed in parentheses is correct, press Enter. Otherwise, enter the correct IP Address and press Enter.
Note:
Throughout these steps, yourdomain refers to the full domain, including the suffix, such as .com or .net. (Example: MyNetworkCompany.net).
Validate the IP address of the database server. If you installed the Database component on a separate server, be sure to supply the correct IP address of that server.
```
Please enter IP Address for your database server: (N.N.N.N)
```
Note:
If your database server is using an IPv6 address, enter that within square brackets. For example: [fe80::250:56FF:febc:1F]
If the IP Address displayed in parentheses is correct, press Enter. Otherwise, enter the correct IP Address and press Enter.
If you are installing the Database on the same server, use localhost for the IP address or localhost6 for an IPv6 environment.

Confirm the entered IP addresses

You have entered:
   Hostname                     IP Address
aptareportal.yourdomain 127.0.0.1
aptareagent.yourdomain 127.0.0.1
   database server      127.0.0.1
Is this correct (y/n)?

If the hostnames and IP addresses listed are correct, enter y and press Enter. Otherwise, enter n and press Enter.

Confirm changes to be automatically made to /etc/hosts.
```
These names will be set up in /etc/hosts.  
You can remove the entries and add them 
to your local DNS later.
Would you like to add them to /etc/hosts (y/n)?
```
If you would like to set up the names in /etc/hosts, enter y and press Enter. Otherwise, enter n and press Enter.

Choose whether to run the database creation script. This avoids the manual step of running create_aptare_database.sh later.

You can create the Database schema as a part of this 
installation or create it later using 
create_aptare_database.sh script. 
Do you want to create the Database schema as a part of 
this installation (y/n)?

After specifying your choice, press Enter .
Java and Apache software components are installed irrespective of your choice specified for the database schema. Tomcat Java Servlet Engine is installed as apart of this installation and it may take 1-2 minutes to execute.

This completes the installation of theAPTARE IT Analytics Portal. If you have not installed the database schema during the above procedure, you can proceed to install the database schema.
