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:

 

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

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.

1
Start the installation process by initiating the appropriate executable file located in the FoglightManagementServer directory of the SharePlex Manager install media.
2
Follow the installation instructions provided in the appropriate Foglight Installation Guide located in the FoglightServer\Documentation directory of the SharePlex Manager install media.
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>.

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.
