9. The last form confirms you have successfully installed the Front End software. Click Finish.
10. There is no need to restart the server. Therefore, select Start -> Programs -> Start Server.
A progress window appears and lists the back end configuration files as they are loaded.
If the error “Unable to connect to Back End Host” appears, you have probably entered the wrong IP address
for the Back End server. To correct this, access the
/bin path and the file start-
nmsFE.bat . Search on the string BE_HOST and it will have the Back End host address. Change this to the
correct IP address and save, then repeat this step.
11. Once the Back End configuration files are loaded, the NMS user interface will appear and will have the same
Network Object tree as the Back End server.
12. Refer to Section 5. for more information on starting up the AlliedView NMS.
13. Refer to the AlliedView NMS Administration Guide for further information on the FE server features.
3.2.2 Accessing the Front End Server from a Remote Client
If desired, a remote client can use the webstart application to access the Front End server. Note that this still
counts as one of the 5 GUI clients that are allowed per server.
The process is the same as starting up a single server configuration, except that the web server application will
use http://:9090. Refer to the AlliedView NMS Administration Guide
for further information on the FE server features.
3.3 Installing on a Solaris Platform
The steps to install the Front End AlliedView NMS on a Solaris platform are similar to those for a Windows plat-
form.
Follow steps 1 through 10 in 3.2.1 to install the Front End software, noting the following:
• In Step 4, the screen showing the default directory is /opt/AlliedViewNMS.
• In Step 7, the user must still input the correct IP address for the Back End server.
11. To start the AlliedView NMS, go to /opt/AlliedViewNMS/bin and execute:
./startnmsFE
If the error “Unable to connect to Back End Host” appears, you have probably entered the wrong IP address
for the Back End server. To correct this, access the
/bin path and the file start-
nmsFE.sh . Search on the string BE_HOST and it will have the Back End host address. Change this to the
correct IP address and save, then repeat this step.
12. Once the Back End configuration files are loaded, the NMS user interface will appear and will have the same
Network Object tree as the Back End server.
13. Refer to Section 5. for more information on starting up the AlliedView NMS.
14. Refer to the AlliedView NMS Administration Guide for further information on the FE server features.
