How to Configure the OneView Monitor GUI on UNIX/Sun Java System

To configure the OneView Monitor GUI on a UNIX/Sun Java System complete the following procedures:

1. Read the prerequisites to installing ServletExec.
2. Disable servlets in Sun Java System (Sun One/iPlanet) 6.0.
3. Install ServletExec/AS on UNIX/Sun Java System.
4. If you did not have the Policy Server installation program auto-configure the OneView Monitor GUI, configure it by running the Policy Server Configuration Wizard.
5. Start the OneView Monitor Service.
6. Access the OneView Monitor GUI.

Prerequisites to Installing ServletExec

CA recommends that you read the ServletExec documentation before installing ServletExec. If ServletExec is not running properly, then the OneView Monitor GUI does not work since it relies on ServletExec’s servlet engine.

You can access the ServletExec documentation on the New Atlanta Web site.

Disable Servlets in Sun Java System 6.0

Ensure you follow the steps in this section before installing ServletExec.

To disable servlets in Sun Java System 6.0

1. Open the Sun Java System Enterprise Administration Server home page by entering the following URL in a browser: http://<yourserver.com>:<portnumber>

   yourserver.com

   Specifies the domain name of the Enterprise Administration Server

   port

   Specifies the port number

2. In the Select a Server drop-down menu, select the target server, and then click Manage.
3. Select the Java tab.
4. Deselect Enable Java for class defaultclass and Enable Java Globally and click OK.
5. Stop and restart the Web server so the settings can take effect.

Install ServletExec/AS on UNIX/Sun Java System

The Monitor GUI’s HTML pages are generated by Java Server Pages (JSPs) and servlets hosted on a ServletExec servlet engine running on the same machine as the Policy Server.

To install ServletExec

1. Log in to the UNIX account where you want to install the Policy Server.

   Note: You must log in as the same user who installed the Sun Java System Web server.

2. Run the ServletExec AS installer.

   Note: For more information on running the ServletExec AS installer, refer to New Atlanta Communications' ServletExec documentation. Consider the following before installing ServletExec:

   • Make sure you have permission to create a new file in /tmp. New Atlanta recommends installing ServletExec in /usr/local/NewAtlanta. Installing ServletExec in /usr/local/NewAtlanta may change the permissions for the obj.conf file and the Sun Java System start script. After the installation, be sure the owner of obj.conf and the start script is the same user who owns the Web server.
   • When prompted, install a Web server adaptor and an instance of ServletExec.
   • When prompted, ensure that the installer does not modify the Web server's configuration files. If you let the installer modify the Web server’s obj.conf and magnus.conf configuration files, the Web server instance fails to run after you configure the OneView Monitor GUI on this instance.
3. After the installation program completes, restart the Web server.
