Hello,

I have a problem with installing Networker 7.6.2 on RedHat 6.0.

All work well, but when i try to install the management console..... :'(

When I try to install it I can't find the necessary dependencies.
I've tried to install it with -nodeps option but doesn't work
(this is strange that there's no version of management console on 64bits )

Someone already installed it on a redhat 6.0?


I really need help: (

What you need to do is read page 30 of the NetWorker 7.6 Service Pack 2
Installation Guide (Document: 300-011-690 REV A05) where you will note
the pointed absence of Red Hat Enterprise 6 from the list of supported
Linux OS's for NMC.

Frank,

He/She might also be reading

"EMC NetWorker
Software Compatibility Guide
October 31, 2011"

Where footnote 16 for 7.6SP2 reads:
"16 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1 is supported for NetWorker Client,
NetWorker Storage Node, NetWorker Server and NMC from NW 7.6.2
onwards"

Installation Guide REV A05 (July 2011 according to Powerlink...) does
omit any mention of RHEL6 for NMC, and I found out the hard way it
doesn't work (database corruption), but I wouldn't bludgeon him with
documentation...

OTOH, 'yum localinstall' does wonderful things when the problem is
dependency resolution .

Thanks for all ^^
Then if i install Redhat 6.1 i'll be able to install NMC ?
Have you ever try it ? it seems i've to install a JRE 32bits to use NMC...

In regard to: [Networker] Networker 7.6.2 management console with Redhat...:

Install? Yes. Have a *working* NMC? Not in my experience.

The Software Compatibility Guide (SCG) appears to currently be
contradicting itself regarding whether NMC is supported on RHEL 6.0 or 6.1,
and I've had EMC support contradict the information in the SCG. When
there are that many contradictions, it's a sign that there's a problem.

We tried the NMC that came with 7.6.2.3 on RHEL 6.1, and had database
corruption. That all went away when we moved the NMC to RHEL 5.7. It's
possible that the NMC that comes with 7.6.2.5 has that issue resolved, but
I've seen no evidence to suggest that. Unless the release notes for NMC
specifically mention support for RHEL 6.1 or a fix related to database
corruption, you will likely run into the same database corruption that we
did.

Have you ever try it ? it seems i've to install a JRE 32bits to use NMC...

The NMC is only available as a 32 bit package. Having a 32 bit package
that requires Java doesn't always mean that you must also have a 32 bit
Java, but in this case I think that it does require the 32 bit java, as
there are 32 bit shared objects that are (I think) loaded, probably via
JNI.

The notes I have in my puppet manifest for NMC indicate that 32 bit
Java is required, so I think I may have tried the 64 bit Java and
discovered that it did not work.

My advice: don't install the NMC on RHEL 6.x (any point release of 6)
until there is clear communication from EMC that NMC works on RHEL 6.
Put it on a RHEL 5.x system, after doing

yum --nogpgcheck localinstall lgtoclnt*.rpm
yum install java-1.6.0-sun.i686
yum downgrade java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.26-1jpp.1.el6.i686

After you have the 1.6.0.26 version of Java installed, be sure to block
updates to it (add an exclude=java-1.6.0-sun to your yum configuration)
until EMC has released a fix for the authentication issues that NMC
has with Java >= 1.6.0.26.
