1.5.1 iManager Server on NetWare 6.5
iManager 2.7 does not provide a stand-alone install option for NetWare 6.5. Rather, iManager 2.7 is
made available as an optional install component in NetWare 6.5 Service Pack 7 (NW65SP7) or later.
If you upgrade from NetWare 6.5 SPx to SP7 or later, and you have iManager 2.5 or 2.6 installed,
iManager will be upgraded to iManager 2.7. Additionally, if iManager 2.0.2 is installed, it will not
be upgraded to iManager 2.7 and will be left unchanged. In order to upgrade from iManager 2.0.2 to
iManager 2.7, you must first upgrade to iManager 2.6. The NW65SP7 documentation includes all
the necessary prerequisites and procedures for installing iManager 2.7 on NetWare 6.5.
1.5.2 iManager Server on Linux
If the iManager 2.7 installation routine detects a previously installed version of iManager 2.5 or 2.6,
it prompts you that it will remove the existing iManager and Tomcat. If you do not want this to
happen, stop the installation.
However, when removing the previously installed version of iManager, its directory structure is
backed up to the old
TOMCAT_HOME
directory to preserve any previously created custom content.
To prepare for the installation, review the following checklist of prerequisites.
Prerequisites
In addition to the general prerequisites listed in
Section 1.2, “Prerequisites,” on page 12
, the
following prerequisites also apply to iManager on Linux:
Required Linux Packages:
If any of the following packages are not installed, you must obtain
them from the vendor of your Linux distribution and install them before installing iManager.
They should be on your installation CDs.
compat-+-33 (Red Hat Advanced Server/Enterprise Server 4, Red Hat Server 5)
+33-32bit (SLES 11 64-bit)
+33 (SLES 11 32-bit)
compat-lsb (SLES 9/10)
Previous Versions of iManager:
If you have installed iManager 2.5 or 2.6, you do not need to
uninstall it. See
Chapter 2, “Upgrading iManager,” on page 25
for more information.
Processor:
Pentium* III 600MHz or higher processor
Disk Space:
200 MB hard-disk space for a local installation
Memory:
512 MB RAM (1024 MB recommended)
Port Setup:
Be aware of possible port conflicts. Tomcat is installed as part of the iManager
2.7 installation, which determines whether the default ports are in use. If they are in use, the
install prompts you for different ports for use by Tomcat. By default, Tomcat uses ports 8080,
8443, and 9009.
IMPORTANT:
On Linux, iManager is supported only with the version of Tomcat that is installed
with iManager.
iManager installs the following products during installation:
Tomcat 5.5.28
