Installing or Upgrading the System Reporter Tools

3PAR System Reporter User’s Guide

System Reporter 2.8

For MySQL and Oracle databases, create/edit the /etc/sampleloop_dbpwfile file to include a

single line that has the database user name and password separated by a space.

Start the sampleloop daemon by running:

/etc/init.d/sampleloop start

Look at the sampleloop.log file in the /var/log/sampleloop/ directory to see status and

progress of the sampleloop daemon. If this is a new installation, the sampleloop daemon

will create all the required tables and initialize the policy table. Since no InServ systems

have yet been added to the sampling list, none will be sampled.

If this is an upgrade of an existing installation, sampleloop will automatically convert tables

to the newer versions required for System Reporter 2.8. Then it will resume sampling.

If errors are reported in the sampleloop.log file (for example due to incorrect database

setup, or incorrect sampleloop.conf parameters) correct those error and restart the

sampleloop daemon:

/etc/init.d/sampleloop restart

Install the sysrptwebsrv package by mounting the System Reporter CD, changing to the

directory on the CD that includes the rpm packages and running:

rpm --install sysrptwebsrv-2.8-1.i386.rpm

Edit the /var/www/cgi-bin/3par-rpts/config.tcl and /var/www/cgi-bin/3par-

policy/config.tcl

files following the directions in those files. If previous versions of the

file were saved, you may keep the previous settings and simply replace the files with the

saved versions. If the configuration files are correct, you should be able to open the web

page http://hostname/3par.

Once all the tables have been created, the main web page for system reporter should be

accessible at http:///3par where is the name of the server where

Apache and System Reporter are installed.
