Installation Prerequisites

  • The individual performing this installation has some Linux experience.
  • NMIS8 is installed on the same server where opHA will be installed
  • NMIS8 is installed in /usr/local/nmis8
  • opHA will be installed into /usr/local/nmis8
  • Root access is available (not always needed but much easier)
  • Perl 5.10 
  • RRDtool 1.4.7
  • NMIS 8.3.3G or later
  • opHA will be installed onto the Master and each Slave NMIS server

Installation Steps

  • Copy the opHA tarball to the slave NMIS server (a tarball is a GZIP'd tar file, e.g. opHA-1.1.tar.gz)
    1. You may need to use SCP or FTP to get the file onto the server.
  • The file will now likely be in the users home directory.
  • If the installation directory does not already exist
  • Change into the directory where the tarball was copied
  • Untar the file

 

cd ~
tar xvf ~/opHA-<version>.tar.gz
cd opHA/
cp install/Servers.nmis /usr/local/nmis8/conf/
cp cgi-bin/connect.pl /usr/local/nmis8/cgi-bin/ 
/usr/local/nmis8/admin/fixperms.pl

 

opHA Slave Configuration

There are many configuration options in opReports, but the only one which must be updated to make everything work is the configuration for "report_server_prefix", this allows the emailed reports to point to the correct web server to load their configurations, this entry is in the opReports.nmis file and should be updated to be the public web prefix of the server, which the people receiving the emails would use to access the server (this might be the portal address).

'report_server_prefix' => 'http://nmis.domain.com',

Access opMaps Web Page

The default URL to access opMaps is http://nmis.domain.com/cgi-omk/opMaps

Any authentication challenges will be the same as to login to your NMIS8 system.
