Provisioning Server Pre-Installation Steps

To prepare for installation, confirm that your server environment is properly prepared. Then install the required packages.

Follow these steps:

  1. Install 64-bit Linux RHEL 6.1.
  2. Download, but do not install, a 64-bit JDK to your local system or to a file share. You can also use a JRE in place of a JDK.

    Note: The system installer can install the JDK automatically. We recommend that you download a JDK and allow the system to install it.

  3. Verify that the systems where you previously installed CA Directory, and the systems where you plan to install the Provisioning Server, can ping each other. For a high availability installation, make sure each system can ping the three other systems. I.e., each Provisioning Server system can ping the other, and can ping both CA Directory systems, and vice versa.
  4. Obtain the Provisioning Server ISO image from the CA Support site and extract it.
  5. Copy the kit (CAM-IMPS_kit-date.zip) to / (the root folder).
  6. Unzip the kit.
  7. Install the following packages:
  8. Make sure that the following soft link still exists. Reverting a virtual machine snapshot removes this link. 
    mv /dev/random /dev/random.orig
ln -s /dev/urandom /dev/random
  9. Run the following commands to set the state of the firewall/ip tables: 
    chkconfig iptables off
service iptables stop
  10. Run the following commands to check and set the state of SELinux:
    1. Check the status: 
      sestatus
    2. If the response is "permissive" or "disabled", do nothing
    3. If the response is "enforcing", change the state: 
      sudo vi /etc/selinux/config
setenforce 0
  11. Enter the following commands: 
    echo "[0001]" >> /etc/yum.conf
echo "mediaid=`head -n 1 /media/RHEL_6.1\ x86_64\ Disc\ 1/.discinfo`"  >> /etc/yum.conf
echo "name=respooracle" >> /etc/yum.conf
echo "baseurl=file:///media/RHEL_6.1\ x86_64\ Disc\ 1/" >> /etc/yum.conf
echo "enabled=1" >> /etc/yum.conf	
echo "gpgcheck=0" >> /etc/yum.conf
