Unicenter Network and Systems Management r11.2 provides support on UNIX and Linux platforms for key CA NSM manager components. This release provides an upgrade path for UNIX and Linux users with Unicenter NSM 3.1 and r11 managers installed.
The components supported on UNIX and Linux platforms mirror those components in the base CA NSM r11.2 product, with the inclusion of UNIX and Linux support. Therefore, the areas in this guide for the base CA NSM r11.2 components supported on UNIX and Linux also apply to UNIX and Linux users. For more information about Unicenter NSM UNIX and Linux support and a listing of the components supported and the applicable areas of this guide, see the appendix "Unicenter NSM r11.2 UNIX and Linux Support."
Note: CA NSM r11.2 for UNIX and Linux does not support Ingres. Any UNIX and Linux information in the CA NSM documentation set pertaining to Ingres databases does not apply to CA NSM r11.2 users.
In CA NSM r11, the database tool used for the MDB is Ingres for both Windows and UNIX/Linux. In CA NSM r11.1 and r11.2, however, the database tool used for the MDB on Windows platforms is Microsoft SQL Server. The documentation for CA NSM r11.2 has information for both Ingres databases and Microsoft SQL Server databases, so be aware that some of it may not apply, depending on the CA NSM version you are running.
On UNIX and Linux platforms, Unicenter NSM r11.2 does not use Ingres for the MDB. Unicenter NSM r11.2 for UNIX and Linux platforms supports a free embedded database PostGreSQL. Therefore any Ingres or Microsoft SQL Server information does not apply to Unicenter NSM r11.2 for UNIX and Linux. For more information about the PostGreSQL database, see the MDB Overview.
CA NSM r11 users can migrate the Ingres database to the r11.2 PostGreSQL database. For more information, see the Migration Guide.
