Question

How to install SiteScope with Operation Agent on Centos 5 and Centos 6

Answer

This documentation is for test usage only. There is no any official support from HP.
It's implementation is at your own risk

Issues:
1) SiS Installer needs some 32 bit libraries for the 64 bit RedHat/CentOs 6
2) The SELinux must be in Permissive mode or temporarily disabled because of the OA installer .
3) The Centos must reports that is RedHat as OA installer needs it
4) There is a dependence issue with the OA package HPOvXpl.rpm.
5) The server hostname must be resolvable by the DNS Server otherwise SiS cannot start.
6) The SiS config tool in a console mod is not showing correct status of the OA installation end.

Fix:
0 ) Update the CentOs
          yum update


1.1)  For RedHat 6 with a license.
          yum groupinstall "Legacy Software Support"



2) To disable the SELeinux there are some different approaches described in the RedHat documentation
          If SELinux is enforcing mod the error in /var/opt/OV/log/oainstall.log is:
                   [07/21/13 19:06:17] [oasetup] [oasetup] [INFO] Installing with the "rpm -i /var/opt/OV/installation/standalone/HPOvXpl.rpm" command
                   error: %pre(HPOvXpl-11.00.044-1.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 255
                   error:   install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping HPOvXpl-11.00.044-1
          To switch the system temporarily into permissive mod there is a command:
          echo 0 >/selinux/enforce

          Fully disabling SELinux:
          Edit /etc/selinux/config

3) For CentOs 5&6
         Open the text file  /etc/redhat-release and replace its content by “Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5.8 (Tikanga)”
         How to verify the result:
                    # lsb_release -a
          The output should looks like that :
                    LSB Version:    :base-4.0-amd64:base-4.0-noarch:core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-noarch:graphics-4.0-amd64:graphics-4.....
                    Distributor ID: RedHatEnterpriseClient
                    Description:    Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5.8 (Tikanga)
                    Release:        5.8
                    Codename:       Tikanga

 


4.1) For CentOs 5.9
          yum install compat-libstdc++-33.i386


4.2 For CentOs 6.4
          yum install compat-libstdc++-33.x86_64 compat-libstdc++-33.i686

5) The output of the command hostname | nslookup  must resolve one of the external IP address of the CentOs server.

6) The tool executed like /opt/HP/SiteScope/bin/config_tool.sh -i console is not showing if the OA is installed correctly.
          The installation process can be verified and followed by the these log files:
                   /var/opt/OV/log/oainstall.log                << this log file contains first & main installation steps of OA 
                  /var/opt/OV/log/oapatch.log                    << after the OA installation the installer will apply some patches
                 /tmp/HPSiteScope_config_tool.log       << general errors from the config tool and OA installation

 


Install SiS 11.20 , 11.22 and the patches for it without the OA.
When SiS is installed and works, stop it and install the Operation Agent by the command /opt/HP/SiteScope/bin/config_tool.sh -i console .
