Increasing UDP Buffer Size

If the Fabric Manager SNMP packet log shows an SNMP VarBind decode error, the UDP buffer size is
low and the buffer size needs to be increased.
To increase the UDP buffer size, do the following:
Step 1 For Solaris 8, ensure that the UDP buffer size is at least 64k.
ndd -set /dev/udp udp_recv_hiwat 65535
ndd -set /dev/udp udp_xmit_hiwat 65535
Add the following setting in /etc/system, so that the buffer size will be in effect even after a reboot.
Step 2
set ndd:udp_recv_hiwat=65535
set ndd:udp_xmit_hiwat=65535
Note Before starting the installation, make sure that you have logged in as a Superuser.
To install the PostgreSQL database on Linux, follow these steps:
To install PostgreSQL, run the following commands:
Step 1
cd /tmp/pginstall
./install.sh
Step 2 When you install PostgreSQL, all the libraries and binaries are stored in /usr/lib and /usr/bin,
respectively. There might be conflicting libraries or dependencies that can cause an incorrect or
incomplete PostgreSQL installation. For more information, go to http://www.postgresql.org.
Step 3 When the installation is finished, you must a create a database user to login to the databases. To create
a database user, run the following command:
createuser -s -d -r -l -P -U postgres admin
Enter a password for the new role.
Step 4
Re-enter the password.
Step 5
The database user ID must be provided in the Fabric Manager Installer.
Step 6 To stop and start the postmaster (PostgreSQL Database Server), run the following command:
/etc/init.d/postgresql [stop|start]

Database Backup and Restore-Postgres

The Fabric Manager uses Postgres Database as the default database. The Fabric Manager backup utility
uses Postgres pg_dump utility, to dump all database content to an ASCII dump file. Restore utility uses
psql to re-create data using the dump file.
