Prerequisites for Installing ITO Agent Software

Managed Node Requirements

❏ Operating System. For the supported OS versions, see Table 1-1 on

page 31.

❏ If only the Multi-User operating environment is installed, then the

networking package, WIN-TCP, must also be installed.

❏ NCS Version 1.5.1 (package NckNidl) or StarPRO DCE Executive

from NCR UNIX SVR4.

If neither NCS nor StarPRO DCE are found on the managed node,
ITO installs

llbd

and

lb_admin

during the ITO agent software

installation.

❏ The MIB monitoring functionality of ITO requires SNMP-based,

MIB-I (RFC 1156) or MIB-II (RFC 1158) compliant agent software.

Software Requirements for Novell NetWare Managed
Nodes

The following software must be installed on Novell NetWare managed
node:

❏ Operating System. For the supported OS versions, see Table 1-1 on

page 31.

❏ TCP/IP services configured, running and automatically started

❏ Network FRAMING types must be configured (Ethernet II frame type

is required)

❏ CLIB.NLM version 4.10 or higher

❏ Novell TIRPC (If this product is missing ITO copies the required files

during the installation process.)

❏ SNMP daemon configured, running and automatically started

❏ XCONSOLE configured and running: remote console access (via

telnet) must be allowed

XCONSOLE.NLM must be installed and configured on each server.
XCONSOLE is part of Novell products like Flex-IP or NetWare/IP.

❏ Novell NMA 2.1 installed and configured

Novell NMA 2.1 is a NetWare add-on product and can be purchased
from Novell. Note that almost all ITO NetWare agent
instrumentation is based on NMA. NetWare servers which do not run
NMA can, therefore, only be managed in a very limited way by ITO.
