Providing Power User Privileges To Domain Users; Sentinel Database Installation Prerequisites - Novell SENTINEL 6.1 SP2 - INSTALLATION GUIDE 02-2010 Installation Manual

3.4.1 Providing Power User Privileges to Domain Users

IMPORTANT: If you install Sentinel as a domain user, where the user is not a part of administrator
group in the Active Directory* machine and the local machine, then the domain user should be a
Power User to start the Sentinel Services.
1 On the Windows desktop, right-click My Computer and select Manage.
2 In the Computer Management window, select Local > Users and Groups > Groups.
3 Double-click Power User and add the domain user in
local system where Sentinel is installed by using this domain user.

3.4.2 Sentinel Database Installation Prerequisites

Before installing the Sentinel Database components, you must ensure the following prerequisites are
met:

If you are installing on SLES 10, the file system for the operating system must be ext3.

installer. If you run the Sentinel installer on the database machine, ensure that a compatible
JDBC client is already installed by the database installer. If you run the Sentinel installer on
another machine, the database instance must be manually created and the compatible JDBC
client must be manually installed on the machine with the installer. Although newer Oracle
drivers are backward compatible, Sentinel testing was performed with the drivers that were
shipped with the Oracle database (for example, 10.2.0.3 drivers were tested with the 10.2.0.3
database).
NOTE: Sentinel cannot start the Oracle 10 database because of the errors in the Oracle

For performance reasons it is highly recommended that if you are installing in a RAID system
and if your RAID environment allows, configure the Sentinel database so that the Transaction
Log points are stored on the fastest write disk available. This Transaction log disk is a separate
physical disk where the database files are stored.
You should allow the Sentinel installer to create the Oracle database instance for Sentinel.
