Installing Central Server and Distributed Mediation Server as NT Service
Installing as Unix Service
Uninstalling Unix Service
AdventNet Web NMS's Central Server and the Distributed Mediation Server can be installed as an NT and Unix service. On installation as NT or Unix Service, the servers start when the machine boots up along with other services such as Telnet, FTP etc.
|
|
Warning: If you want to start a fresh installation of Web NMS Central Server or Distributed Mediation Server as NT Service, you must first start the server in the normal mode, supply the required license information and then restart as NT Service. The server will not start as an NT Service directly, owing to the license requirements. |
Installing Central Server and Distributed Mediation Server as NT Service
Copy the java_service.ini file and JavaService.exe to the Windows installation directory. In Central Server, these files will be present in the <Central Home>/lib and in Distributed Mediation Server, these files will be present in the <DMS Home>/lib directory.
If required, modify SERVICE_DIR path in the java_service.ini file. SERVICE_DIR refers to the home directory where Central Server or Distributed Mediation Server is installed. If two versions are installed, the required home directory from which the NT Service must start is mentioned here.
Execute JavaService -install from the command prompt in the directory where Windows 2000/NT is installed, to install Web NMS Server as NT Service.
The above procedure starts the Web NMS Central or Distributed Mediation Server as NT Service at the time of system reboot and will be stopped when the system is shut down.
|
|
Note: When Web NMS is started as a service, it takes MySQL as its database, as MySQL is the default database bundled with Web NMS. To start Web NMS with a different database, edit the java_service.ini file under the winnt or windows directory and change the classpath accordingly. In addition, modify the database_params.conf and DatabaseSchema.conf in the respective database directory under the <Central Home>/conf directory and copy the files to the <Central Home>/conf directory and respectively in Distributed Mediation Server. |
Execute JavaService -uninstall from the command prompt in the Windows 2000/NT installed directory to uninstall the NT Service.
Check for the message "DeleteService Success" for confirmation.
Installing as Unix Service - Central Server
Linux User
Log in as super user.
Enter the full file
path to variable CENTRAL_HOME in the file <Central
Home>/lib/webnms
For example, change path to CENTRAL_HOME=/home/sam/Central_Server/AdventNet/WebNms
Copy the webnms file <Central Home>/lib/ to /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory.
Create a link as S91centralserver in /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/ using the following command:
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/webnms /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S91centralserver
Create a link as K20centralserver in /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/ to kill Central Server running as a Unix service using the following command:
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/webnms /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K20centralserver
After creating these links, if you want to run Central Server as a Unix service for the first time without rebooting, give the following command:
To start: /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S91centralserver start
To shut down: /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K20centralserver stop
To console logs for startup operation will be present in <Central Home>/ ServiceStartupLogs.txt and console logs for shutdown operation in <Central Home>/ServiceShutdownLogs.txt.
Solaris User
Log in as super user.
Enter the full file
path to variable CENTRAL_HOME in the file <CentralHome>/lib/webnms
For example, change path to CENTRAL_HOME=/home/sam/Central_Server/AdventNet/WebNms
Copy the webnms file <Central Home>/lib/ to /etc directory.
Create the following link in /etc/rc2.d/
Create
a link named S100centralserver
in /etc/rc2.d/.
For example, give the following command from /etc/rc2.d/:
Syntax: ln -s <file
with full path> <link_name>
Command:ln -s /etc/centralserver
/etc/rc2.d/S100centralserver
Create another link in /etc/rc0.d/.
Create a link named
K20centralserver to kill Central
Server running as a Unix service.
For example, give the following command from /etc/rc0.d/:
Syntax: ln -s <file with full path> <link_name>
Command:ln -s /etc/centralserver /etc/rc0.d/K20centralserver
After creating these links, if you want to run Central Server as a service for the first time without re-booting give the following command:
To start: /etc/rc2.d/S100centralserver start.
To shut down: /etc/rc0.d/K20centralserver stop.
The console logs for startup operation will be present in <Central Home>/ServiceStartupLogs.txt and console logs for shut down operation in <Central Home>/ServiceShutdownLogs.txt.
Installing as Unix Service - Distributed Mediation Server
