Ensure that the system meets the requirements for installing Administration Console.
For information about the requirements, see NetIQ Access Manager System Requirements.
If you have custom partitioned your hard disk, ensure to allocate the minimum space for each partition as mentioned in the following table:
|
Partition |
Minimum Disk Space |
|---|---|
|
/opt/novell |
1.5 GB |
|
/opt/volera |
5 MB |
|
/var/opt/novell |
1 GB |
|
/var |
512 MB |
|
/usr |
25 MB |
|
/etc |
10 MB |
|
/tmp/novell_access_manager |
50 MB |
|
/tmp |
50 MB |
|
/ |
3 GB |
NOTE:These are the minimum free disk spaces that must be available before installation or upgrade. However, it is recommended to maintain more than the specified free disk space based on the requirement of your production environment.
You can perform the disk partitioning based on your requirement.
For example, consider a scenario where an administrator is installing Access Manager with 100 GB disk space. The administrator wants to allocate enough space for the logs from the available space. Therefore, the administrator can partition the hard disk as follows:
|
Partition |
Disk Space |
|---|---|
|
/opt |
5 GB |
|
/var |
30 GB |
|
/tmp |
2 GB |
|
/ |
63 GB |

(Conditionally) For manually installing RHEL packages, see Installing Packages and Dependent RPMs on RHEL for Access Manager.
NOTE:You can select to install these RPMs automatically along with Access Manager installation. While installing Access Manager, specify N when you get the following prompt:
Enter the local mount directory if you have the OS ISO mounted locally. This will be used as the local catalog for the additional rpms. Do you have a locally mounted ISO (y/n)?
The Access Manager installer checks the online catalog and then installs the required RPMs automatically.
Ensure that the latest net-snmp package from the SLES or RedHat update channel is installed.
Zip and unzip utilities is available for the backup and restore procedure.
Ports 389 and 636 are open.
Static IP addresses.
If the IP address changes after devices have been imported, these devices can no longer communicate with Administration Console.
The tree for the configuration store is named after the server on which you install Administration Console. Check the hostname and rename the machine if the name is not appropriate for a configuration tree name.
See Section 1.3, Network Requirements.
IMPORTANT:You cannot install the following software with Administration Console:
OpenLDAP server. If it is installed, uninstall it. If you do not want to uninstall it, ensure that it does not use the port 636 or does not bind the port 389 to localhost.
The LDAP software such as eDirectory.
Other version of iManager.
In addition, you cannot add other iManager product plug-ins to this Administration Console.
