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

This step will be repeated for each NMIS master and slave server

  • Copy the opHA tarball to the slave or master 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

This configuration will be done on each NMIS Slave Server.  By default, the shared community for a slave is "secret" if you want to change this to something specific you can edit the NMIS Configuration item "slave_community" using your favourite text editor, edit this line and change secret to your desired opHA community string.

'slave_community' => 'secret',

opHA Master Configuration

Once the slaves have been setup, you can 

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.
