download the user interface software from the GUI server on the HTTPS port, after
the NSM GUI Server has been installed.
4.
Run the management system installer on the system where you want to install the
management system. During installation, you will need to:
•
Install a license. Obtain a license from the Juniper License Management Server
(LMS) if you will be managing more and 25 devices (see “Generating the NSM
License Key File” on page 13).
•
Specify that you want to install both the GUI Server and Device Server.
• Install and configure the local database backup option.
If you are installing the GUI Server and Device Server on separate systems, see
“Installing NSM in a Distributed Configuration” on page 49 for more information.
5.
Install the User Interface.
6.
Launch the User Interface, then connect it to the management system.
7.
Verify that you have successfully installed the management system and User Interface.
Defining System Parameters
During the installation process, you are required to configure common system parameters
such as the location of the directories where you want to store data for the GUI Server
and Device Server. We recommend that you define these system parameters before
performing the management system installation.
Table 10 on page 22 identifies the system parameters that you need to identify.
Table 10: Common System Parameters
Your Value Description Parameter
Directory location on the Device Server where device
data is stored. Because the data on the Device Server
can grow to be large, consider placing this data in
another location. If you decide to have data stored in
an alternative location, then specify the new location
during the install process.
By default, the Device Server stores data in:
/var/netscreen/DevSvr/
CAUTION: Do not place your data directory in
/usr/netscreen
. That path normally contains binary files
and should not be used for data.
