Installing OpenNMS 1.3.7 on Fedora Core 6 - By R.S.Sundar - Aricent
1. Install Fedora Core 6 as per your requirement ( I used full install – everything)
2. Install Sun Java JDK :
Download Java Development Kit 5.0 Update 12 from this link -http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp Select JDK 5.0 Update 12. You must read the license agreement to download the product. Then choose Linux RPM in self extracting file and download the file jdk-1_5_0_12-linux-i586-rpm.bin
Once downloaded copy to /root folder use the following commands: Login as Root :
# cd /root # chmod +x jdk-1_5_0_12-linux-i586-rpm.bin # ./ jdk-1_5_0_12-linux-i586-rpm.bin then accept . this will automatically extract the rpm and install java to the folder /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_12/ # cd /usr/bin # mv jar jar.org # mv javah javah.org # mv javac javac.org # ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_12/bin/jar jar # ln –s /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_12/bin/java java # ln –s /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_12/bin/javah javah # ln –s /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_12.bin/javac javac
Setup Environment variable for java home. Insert the following entries in /etc/profile
# vi /etc/profile
add the following entries
JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_12" export JAVA_HOME
save and exit (!wq)
Then run the following command to commit this
# source /etc/profile # echo $ JAVA_HOME , it should display /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_12
Now java is installed. Proceed to configure postgres
3. Install and configure postgresql
Check whether postgres is installed. # cd /root # rpm –qa | grep postgres – It should display
postgresql-libs-8.1.4-1.1 postgresql-server-8.1.4-1.1 postgresql-8.1.4-1.1 postgresql-python-8.1.4-1.1
If not, do install postgres. Once installed you can configure now
# cd /root # /etc/init.d/postgresql start Starting postgresql service: [ OK ] # cd /var/lib/pgsql/data/ # cp pg_hba.conf pg_hba.conf.org # vi pg_hba.conf
uncomment the following lines
local all all ident sameuser host all all 127.0.0.1/32 ident sameuser host all all ::1/128 ident sameuser
and add the following entries :
local all all trust host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust host all all ::1/128 trust
then save and exit
# cp postgresql.conf postgresql.conf.org # vi postgresql.conf
and uncomment the line
listen_addresses = 'localhost'
save and exit
# /etc/init.d/postgresql stop # /etc/init.d/postgresql start
Now postgresql is ready to use for opennms.
4. Install jicmp
Download jicmp-1.0-1_fc6.i386.rpm from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/opennms/jicmp-1.0-1_fc6.i386.rpm? modtime=1185807521&big_mirror=0 ,and save to /root. # cd /root # rpm –ivh jicmp-1.0-1_fc6.i386.rpm
This will get jicmp rpm.

9. Configuring OpenNMS
# cd /opt/opennms/bin
# echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_12
# ./runjava –s runjava: Looking for an appropriate JRE... runjava: Checking for an appropriate JRE in JAVA_HOME... runjava: found: "/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_12/bin/java" is an appropriate JRE runjava: value of "/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_12/bin/java" stored in configuration file
# install –disU –l /usr/lib/jni:/usr/lib
This will install opennms and ready to use.
10. Configure Discovery
# cd /opt/opennms/etc # cp /etc/discovery-configuration.xml /etc/discovery-configuration.xml.org # vi /etc/discovery-configuration.xml and change the network range as per your requirement (10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.254)
<discovery-configuration threads="1" packets-per-second="1"
initial-sleep-time="30000" restart-sleep-time="86400000"
retries="1" timeout="2000">
<include-range>
<begin>10.0.0.1</begin>
<end>10.0.0.254</begin>
</include-range>
</discovery-configuration>
save and exit
11. Start the opennms
We will make sure postgresql, opennms daemons are started at boot time of the servers. # cd /root # chkconfig postgresql on # chkconfig opennms on
Now we will start the opennms daemon
# cd /opt/opennms/bin # ./opennms start or /etc/init.d/opennms start
This will start the daemon successfully.Confirm whether the opennms daemons are running properly.
# cd /opt/opennms/bin # ./opennms –v status
It should display
OpenNMS.Eventd : running OpenNMS.Trapd : running OpenNMS.Queued : running OpenNMS.Dhcpd : running OpenNMS.Actiond : running OpenNMS.Capsd : running OpenNMS.Notifd : running OpenNMS.Scriptd : running OpenNMS.Rtcd : running OpenNMS.Pollerd : running OpenNMS.PollerBackEnd : running OpenNMS.Ticketer : running OpenNMS.Collectd : running OpenNMS.Threshd : running OpenNMS.Discovery : running OpenNMS.Vacuumd : running OpenNMS.EventTranslator: running OpenNMS.PassiveStatusd : running OpenNMS.Statsd : running OpenNMS.Importer : running OpenNMS.JettyServer : running opennms is running #
Congrajulations!. You have setup the opennms successfully now.
You can now use the web browser
http://machine-ip:8980/opennms
Use user name "admin" and password "admin" to log to OpenNMS main page.
12. Logs : All logs are stored at /var/log/opennms and there will be 3 folders - controller daemon webapp
13. Enable Maps
# cd /opt/opennms/etc # mv map.disable map.enable
Restart OpenNMS
# cd ../bin # ./opennms stop # ./opennms start
Once when you login again, you can see the map tab in the main menu.
