SMS on a Linux Server Platform
To Install the SMS Application (Clean Installation)
.........................................................................................................................................................................................
When to use
Use this procedure to install the SMS application for the first time on a host.
Pre-installation steps for Linux installations
Before proceeding with the actual installation, some preliminary steps must be taken to
prepare the host environment:
1. If you are migrating from a previous SMS release on a Windows
Release 9.4 installed for the first time on a Linux host, manually back up the current
SMS database to a USB drive or ftp server using the
instructions on how to perform a manual backup of the SMS database, refer to the
Manual Backup section of the SMS Administration Guide.
2. In the backup directory which contains the files that you just backed up, edit the
config.ini file to ensure that:
•
the root directory statement (
SMS will be installed on the Linux host.
•
the root Document statement (
where the SMS on-line documents will be stored on the Linux host.
•
the root log statement (
logs will be stored on the Linux host.
•
the operating system statement (
The following shows an example of how these directory path statements should be
defined in the config.ini file:
Rootdir=/opt/isms/lmf
DocumentRoot=/opt/isms/lmf/httpdocs/LSMS
logDir=/opt/isms/lmf
OS=UNIX
After checking the directory path statements and making any necessary modifications, write
and save the config.ini file.
Important! The SMS GUI requires X-Windows software to be running. If you are
running the Linux OS software at Level 3, you must change the run level from Level 3
to Level 5 before installing the SMS software; switching the Linux OS to run at Level
5 will automatically start the X-Windows services required for the SMS GUI. After the
SMS installation has been successfully completed, you can change the Linux run level
back to Level 3 if desired.
