SharePlex Manager 3.1 - Installation Guide

Download the SharePlex Manager Installer

Installing SharePlex Manager
To download the SharePlex Manager installer:
1
Depending on your operating system, download one of the following three files to a temporary location (a dedicated, empty directory is preferred):
•
For Windows - SharePlexManager-3_1_0-windows.zip
•
For Linux - SharePlexManager-3_1_0-linux-ia.tar
2
Depending on your operating system, do one of the following
•
For Windows, open SharePlexManager-3_1_0-windows.zip
•
For Linux, execute the following command:
tar xfv SharePlexManager-3_1_0-linux-ia.tar
The directory will then contain:
•
The SharePlex Manager installer
•
OpenSource, a directory containing the legally required third-party sources.

Pre-requisites for installing SharePlex Manager on a Linux machine

Before installing the SharePlex Manager on a Linux machine, ensure the following libraries are installed on the machine:

•
libxcrypt.i686
•
glibc.i686
•
libXrender.i686

 

If these libraries are not already installed on your machine, run the following commands to install them:

•
yum install -y libxcrypt.i686
•
yum install -y glibc.i686
•
yum install - y libXrender.i686

Install Foglight

If you are upgrading from SharePlex Manager version 2.2 to version 3.1, it is strongly recommended that you back up your Foglight server and database before attempting to upgrade it to version.

To install Foglight:
1
Start the installation process by initiating the appropriate executable file located in the FoglightManagementServer directory of the SharePlex Manager install media.
Each supported platform includes a separate executable file for 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.
Windows:
•
Foglight-<version number>-install_windows-ia32.exe
•
Foglight-<version number>-install_windows-x86_64.exe
Linux:
•
Foglight-<version number>-install_linux-ia32.bin
•
Foglight-<version number>-install_linux-x86_64.bin
2
Follow the installation instructions provided in the appropriate Foglight Installation Guide located in the FoglightServer\Documentation directory of the SharePlex Manager install media.
Caution
When installing Foglight be aware of the following:
•
During a custom install, the Foglight installer prompts you to add a license file. You can disregard this prompt, because the SharePlex Manager install media includes the current Foglight license file.
•
At the end of a standard install, the Foglight server is started automatically. You must shut down the server before installing SharePlex Manager, either by selecting the Stop Foglight option on the Start Menu (for Windows) or by executing the shutdown script FmsShutdown.sh (for Linux) located in the bin directory.

Install SharePlex Manager 3.1

You can run the SharePlex Manager installer in either GUI mode or in console mode (Linux only). The instructions in this guide are based on a GUI installation. However, since the sequence of steps are the same, you can still perform a console installation by following these instructions. The only differences are operational. For example, in GUI mode you click Cancel, Previous, and Next, while in console mode you type ‘quit’ and ‘back’ and press <Enter>.

To install the SharePlex Manager 3.1:
1
Open one of the executable files included on the SharePlex Manager install media:
•
Windows - SharePlexManager-3_1_0-install-windows.exe
•
Linux - SharePlexManager-3_1_0-install-linux-ia32.bin
Note
To run the installer in console mode, execute one of the following commands:
•
SharePlexManager-3_1_0-install-linux-ia32.bin –i console
The SharePlex Manager Installer opens and displays the Welcome window.
2
Click Next.
The installer prompts you to specify the Foglight home directory.
3
Specify the Foglight home directory.
Note
If the Installer cannot locate Foglight in the specified directory, it displays an error message and prompts you to specify a different location.
4
Click Next.
The installer prompts you to specify the location where you want to install SharePlex Manager.
5
Specify the location where you want to install SharePlex Manager.
Note
If the directory you specify already contains files, the installer displays a warning message that these files will be overwritten.
6
Click Next.
If installing on Windows, the installer prompts you to specify the location where you want to create product shortcuts, if any.
Note
There are no product shortcuts on Linux.
7
Specify the location where you want to create product shortcuts.
8
Click Next.
Note
At this point, the installer tries to detect if there is an active SharePlex Web Services instance currently running. If so, it displays a warning message that you must shut down the SharePlex Web Services instance before continuing with the installation.
The installer prompts you to specify a dedicated port for SharePlex Manager.
9
Specify the number of the dedicated port (by default, 3000).
10
Click Next.
Note
If the port you specify is currently unavailable, the installer displays a warning message that SharePlex Web Services will not be able to start automatically at the end of the installation. At this point, you can either specify a different port number, or you can continue with the installation. If you continue, you will later need to start SharePlex Web Services manually after the port becomes available.
The installer displays the Pre-Installation Summary window.
11
Do one of the following:
•
Click Install to continue.
Make sure you accept the pre-installation settings before clicking Install. The installer modifies the Foglight server, and these changes cannot be undone even if you click Cancel during the installation process.
•
Click Previous if you want to go back and change an installation setting
Note
If there is not enough disk space, the installer displays a warning message. You must make enough disk space available to continue with the installation.
The installer displays a progress bar as it installs the SharePlex Manager cartridge and SharePlex Web Services.
On Windows, SharePlex Web Services is configured to start automatically when the host machines reboots. On Linux, the installer prompts you to specify how you want to start SharePlex Web Services. The installer can start SharePlex Web Services immediately, or you can start SharePlex Web Services manually at a later time. For more information, see the section, “Starting SharePlex Web Services” on page 9.
12
Do one of the following:
•
Select Start SharePlex Web Services Now to have the installer start SharePlex Web Services immediately
•
Select Not Now to start SharePlex Web Services yourself at a later time
13
Click Next.
Note
If you selected the Start SharePlex Web Services Now option, the installer displays a warning messages if for any reason it is unable to start SharePlex Web Services. This may be because the port number you specified previously is unavailable. When this is the case, you will need to start SharePlex Web Services manually after you complete the installation and make the port available. See the next section for more information on starting SharePlex Web Services manually.
14
In the next window, the installer reports that it has successfully installed SharePlex Manager 3.1.
15
Click Done.
