Installation Notes - Extreme Networks EPICenter 7.1 Getting Started Manual

Installation Notes

■
To install the EPICenter software components as services under
Microsoft Windows, or as daemons under Solaris/Linux, you must
have Administrator privileges on that system. In addition, if you want
to be able to import user and host information from a Windows
Domain Controller, the EPICenter server must run with permissions
that allow it to get user information from the Domain Controller.
■
The system on which EPICenter is installed must be able to resolve
both its own local name and its domain name. For example if you
install EPICenter on a system named system1, then it must be able to
resolve both system1 and its domain name, such as
system1.company.com. You can test for this by attempting to ping
the system using both the local name and the domain name. If there
are problems resolving either of these names, make sure the hosts file
contains the correct information.
■
The Solaris operating environment may require patches for the
EPICenter software to function properly. Make certain these patches
have been installed before you install the EPICenter server software.
For the most current information on required patches, see the
EPICenter Release Notes that accompanies your EPICenter software, or
go to the Extreme Networks web site at www.extremenetworks.com.
■
On Linux systems, in order for the EPICenter database and server
components to start automatically at system boot, the run level on the
server must be set to 5.
