3.29 Installing or Upgrading the System Reporter Tools
System Reporter 2.8 3PAR System Reporter User’s Guide
Both these packages must be installed after logging in to a terminal session on the server as
the root user. Make sure that httpd and mysqld are running before starting sampleloop
(when using the MySQL database). Note that mysqld may not be running on the same server.
1 If there is an existing System Reporter installation, stop the sampleloop daemon and
remove the older packages as follows:
/etc/init.d/sampleloop stop
rpm --erase sampleloop
rpm --erase sysrptwebsrv
The rpm --erase command will remove the previous installation of the packages but save
any edited configuration files with a .rpmsave suffix appended to their names.
2 Install the sampleloop package by mounting the System Reporter CD, changing to the
directory on the CD that includes the rpm packages and running:
rpm --install sampleloop-2.8-1.i386.rpm
3 Edit the /etc/sampleloop.conf file following the directions in the file. If a previous version of
that file was saved you may keep the previous settings and simply replace the /etc/
sampleloop.conf file with the /etc/sampleloop.conf.rpmsave file.
NOTE: The sysrptwebsrv requires the 32-bit version of the gd (version 2.0 or
greater) package to be installed. If running the 64-bit version of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5, the package requirement incorrectly appears to be met by the
64-bit version of the gd package. You must ensure that the 32-bit (i386) version of
the gd package is installed.
NOTE: Although the packages are installed as root, the sampleloop daemon and
the CGI programs executed from the Apache web server run as the apache user.
NOTE: If SELinux (Security Enhanced Linux) is implemented at your site, you may
need to either disable it or temporarily grant permissive access to the system to
install the System Reporter tools. Please consult your Linux documentation for
details on how to grant permissive access.
