In a custom installation the Operations Bridge Reporter Server, Vertica Server and SAP BusinessObjects Server are installed on different systems. The following prerequisites must be fulfilled on all systems.

Disk Space Requirements

• To download and merge the OBR media files, allocate minimum 50 GB in the <download location> directory on the system.

• To install OBR components, allocate minimum 50 GB in the /opt directory and minimum 5 GB in /tmp directory on the system.

• For downloading, merging and installing OBR in /opt directory on the same system, allocate additional 50 GB in the /opt directory.

• To install Vertica server only, allocate minimum 5 GB in /opt. This does not include data and catalog files.

  • make sure that the used disk space should not reach 90% for data and catalog files.
  • Vertica recommends that the catalog directory should always be separate from any data file directories. For more details, see Vertica Documentation. OBR recommends that the catalog directory should not be in the same mount point as the data directory. Do not change or delete any of the files in the catalog directory.
  • Vertica recommends that at any point of time 40% of free disk space is always available where the Vertica Database is hosted. For more details on Vertica disk space requirements, see Vertica Documentation.

Do not start the installation directly from the mount point location. Also, do not download and merge the .tar files directly from the mount point location.

OBR uses /opt/HP, /opt/OV and /opt/vertica directories for installation. If the following statements are applicable for your /opt directory:

• Other application(s) exists in /opt directory, and
• You need additional external storage space to extend the /opt filesystem.

Follow the steps recommended by application(s) to move to different storage. Extend the /opt filesystem, restore the application(s) back to /opt.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux prerequisites

For the complete supported version details see Support Matrix.

OBR should be installed on the system that has support for the following bash shell and it should be the default shell for SAP BusinessObjects user, PostgreSQL database user and Vertica user.

• RHEL 6.x - bash shell 4.1.2-40

• RHEL 7.x - bash shell 4.2.46-20 or above

• SUSE 11 SP3 - bash shell 3.2-147.22 or above

• SUSE 12 SP2 - bash shell 4.3.42 or above

• The installer by default creates OBR the SAP BusinessObjects user, PostgreSQL database user. The Vertica user will be created while the Vertica database is created. These users must be local to the system and can be created manually before installing OBR at the same location.

  The postgres user created in LDAP is not supported.

• If you want to create new user/group for SAP BusinessObjects user, PostgreSQL and Vertica database user before installing OBR, run the following command on the command prompt:

  useradd -m -p <password> -U <user> -s /bin/bash

  where, <password> is the password for SAP BusinessObjects or Postgres database or Vertica database.

  <user> is the user name for SAP BusinessObjects or Postgres database or Vertica database.

Oracle Enterprise Linux Prerequisites

Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) - OBR supports only Red Hat compatible kernels in OEL. Unbreakable kernels (with a uel suffix) is NOT supported.

For steps to configure kernel with Red Hat Compatible Kernel, see Oracle Linux documentation.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Libraries

Ensure that the following libraries are available on the respective OBR components installed servers:

The list indicates the minimum required versions of required libraries for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. You may install a higher version of the library.

*libstdc++33-32bit-3.3.3-34.1.x86_64 - Required library for SAP BusinessObjects on RHEL 7.3 and SUSE 11 SP3.

**glibc-2.22-61.3.x86_64 and glibc-32bit-2.22-61.3.x86_64 - the default version provided by SLES 12 SP2 will not report any issue with OBR installation. However, there are some segmentation issue reported during run-time. SUSE recommendeds to update with the version mentioned.

• the SUSE system needs to be registered with SUSE Support channel, register Legacy_Module_12_x86_64 repositories to install the package.
• SUSE system has to be registered with support channel using yast2. Proxy has to be set if needed.

For more details on glibc library and updates, see the URL: https://www.suse.com/support/update/announcement/.

Run the following command to install the libraries only if the repository where the libraries are present is configured:

yum -y install <libraries to install>

where, <libraries to install> are the list of libraries mentioned in the previous table based on the RHEL version.

Vertica

For Vertica, Linux file system must be ext4. All other file system types are unsupported.

If Identity Manager is configured on the system and it uses the shell other than the operating system supported shell, Vertica is not supported on such system. The Vertica database creation fails on such systems.

Web Browser Requirements

Web browsers are only supported on Windows. Use a Windows system to access the OBR Administration Console, even when OBR is installed on Linux.

Port Availability

OBR uses a number of default ports for its different services. If you are using the firewall software, ensure that the firewall allows traffic through the required ports listed in the following table on the OBR system. Ensure that the following ports are available on the respective OBR components servers:

After the installation prerequisites are fulfilled, you must perform a series of tasks to prepare the server for the OBR installation.

Make sure to check whether HP/BSM directory or other Micro Focus products directories exists before installing OBR. If HP/BSM is present and contains no files and directories, delete it and move ahead with OBR installation.

Task 1:Increase swap space

The swap space for the OBR server, SAP BusinessObjects server or OBR and SAP BusinessObjects on same system must be minimum 4 GB.

The swap space of minimum 2 GB is required for Vertica server only installation scenario.

To allocate sufficient swap space, perform the following steps:

1. Log on to the system as root user.

   The root user must be the owner of the /opt and /var directories.

2. You must create a new swap file. Run the commands to create a swap file and set up swap space: 

   • dd if=/dev/zero of=<swapfile_full_path> bs=1M count=<swap_size_in_MB>
   • mkswap <swapfile_full_path>

   • swapon <swapfile_full_path>

     where, <swapfile_full_path> is the name of the new swap file (including full path to the file) and <swap_size_in_MB> is the space (in MB) that you want to allocate.

     For example, to allocate swap space by creating a new /extraswap file:

     dd if=/dev/zero of=/extraswap bs=1M count=16384

     mkswap /extraswap

     swapon /extraswap

3. For the change to remain in effect even after a system restart, add the following line in the /etc/fstab file:

   <swapfile_full_path>swap swap defaults 0 0

   where, <swapfile_full_path> is the name of the newly created swap file in step 2.

   For example:

   /extraswap swap swap defaults 0 0

Generating a Certificate Authority Signed Certificate

In OBR, HTTPs communication is enabled by default for Administrator console and SAP BusinessObjects. OBR uses the self-signed certificate. However, it is highly recommended to use the Certificate Authority (CA) certificate.

The certificate shipped by OBR out-of-box is valid for only three months from the date of installation. Ensure to perform the following steps before you begin the post-install configuration.

To get a CA signed certificate and configure OBR to use this certificate, perform these steps:

1. Open the command prompt and take a backup of the existing keystore file from the following location:

   On Windows: %PMDB_HOME%\keystore\SHR_CERT_HTTPS.jks.

   On Linux: $PMDB_HOME/keystore/SHR_CERT_HTTPS.jks.

   Move the SHR_CERT_HTTPS.jks file from {PMDB_HOME}/keystore to another location.

2. Generate a private key from your system using the keytool command.

   1. Run the following command:

      On Windows: %PMDB_HOME%\..\JRE64\bin\keytool -genkeypair -keyalg <algorithm> -keysize <keysize value> -keystore %PMDB_HOME%\keystore\SHR_CERT_HTTPS.jks -storepass <password> -alias SHR

      where, <password> is the password that a user can provide while running the preceding keytool command.

      <algorithm> is the key algorithm.

      <keysize value> is the value for the keysize.

      For example: %PMDB_HOME%\..\JRE64\bin\keytool -genkeypair -keyalg RSA -keysize 1024 -keystore %PMDB_HOME%\keystore\SHR_CERT_HTTPS.jks -storepass shradmin -alias SHR

      On Linux: $PMDB_HOME/../JRE64/bin/keytool -genkeypair -keyalg <algorithm> -keysize <keysize value> -keystore /opt/HP/BSM/PMDB/keystore/SHR_CERT_HTTPS.jks -storepass <password> -alias SHR

      where, <password> is the password that a user can provide while running the preceding keytool command.

      <algorithm> is the key algorithm.

      <keysize value> is the value for the keysize.

      For example: $PMDB_HOME/../JRE64/bin/keytool -genkeypair -keyalg RSA -keysize 1024 -keystore /opt/HP/BSM/PMDB/keystore/SHR_CERT_HTTPS.jks -storepass shradmin -alias SHR

   2. Enter the requested information.

   When prompted for first and last name, enter the FQDN (fully-qualified domain name) of your system.

3. Run the following command exactly as shown to create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) file:

   On Windows: %PMDB_HOME%\..\JRE64\bin\keytool -keystore SHR_CERT_HTTPS.jks -certreq -storepass <password> -alias SHR -file CERTREQFILE

   where, <password> is the password that a user can provide while running the preceding keytool command.

   For example: %PMDB_HOME%\..\JRE64\bin\keytool -keystore SHR_CERT_HTTPS.jks -certreq -storepass shradmin -alias SHR -file CERTREQFILE

   On Linux: $PMDB_HOME/../JRE64/bin/keytool -keystore SHR_CERT_HTTPS.jks -certreq -storepass <password> -alias SHR -file CERTREQFILE

   where, <password> is the password that a user can provide while running the preceding keytool command.

   For example: $PMDB_HOME/../JRE64/bin/keytool -keystore SHR_CERT_HTTPS.jks -certreq -storepass shradmin -alias SHR -file CERTREQFILE

4. Send the CSR (CERTREQFILE) to your CA signing authority. They should provide you with one of the following:

   1. A signed certificate, referred to as myserver.crt. The myserver.crt file contains both the server certificate (the top certificate contained in the file) and one or more CA (Certified Authority) certificates (the last certificates contained in the file). Copy the CA certificates into a new file, the myca.crt file. Use the myserver.crt file when importing the server certificate into the SHR_CERT_HTTPS.jks file and the myca.crt file when importing the CA certificate into the SHR_TRUSTSTORE file.

   2. Two files, referred to myserver.crt and CA.crt in this procedure. Add the CA.crt file content to the end of the myserver.crt file. Use the myserver.crt file when importing the server certificate into the SHR_CERT_HTTPS.jks file and the myca.crt file when importing the CA certificate into the SHR_TRUSTSTORE file.

5. Copy the files containing these certificates to the OBR server on the following location:

   On Windows: %PMDB_HOME%\keystore

   On Linux: $PMDB_HOME/keystore

6. Run the following command to import the server certificate and the CA certificate into the OBR SHR_CERT_HTTPS.jks file:

   On Windows: %PMDB_HOME%\..\JRE64\bin\keytool -importcert -trustcacerts -alias SHR -keystore %PMDB_HOME%\keystore\SHR_CERT_HTTPS.jks -storepass <password> -file mycert.crt

   where, <password> is the password that a user can provide while running the preceding keytool command.

   For example: %PMDB_HOME%\..\JRE64\bin\keytool -importcert -trustcacerts -alias SHR -keystore %PMDB_HOME%\keystore\SHR_CERT_HTTPS.jks -storepass shradmin -file mycert.crt

   On Linux: $PMDB_HOME/../JRE64/bin/keytool -importcert -trustcacerts -alias SHR -keystore $PMDB_HOME/keystore/SHR_CERT_HTTPS.jks -storepass <password> -file mycert.crt

   where, <password> is the password that a user can provide while running the preceding keytool command.

   For example: $PMDB_HOME/../JRE64/bin/keytool -importcert -trustcacerts -alias SHR -keystore $PMDB_HOME/keystore/SHR_CERT_HTTPS.jks -storepass shradmin -file mycert.crt

7. Run the following commands to import the CA certificate into the OBR SHR_TRUSTSTORE file:

   On Windows: %PMDB_HOME%\..\JRE64\bin\keytool -import -alias myca -keystore %PMDB_HOME%\keystore\SHR_CERT_HTTPS.jks -file myca.crt

   On Linux: $PMDB_HOME/../JRE64/bin/keytool -import -alias myca -keystore $PMDB_HOME/keystore/SHR_CERT_HTTPS.jks -file myca.crt

8. The <password> provided to the keytool command must be updated in the server.xml file for Administration Console and SAP BusinessObjects. Perform these steps to updated the <password>:

   For Administration Console:

   1. Go to the path {PMDB_HOME}/adminServer/conf/server.xml
   2. Edit the keystorePass value in the server.xml file with the <password>.

   For SAP BusinessObjects

   1. Go to the path {PMDB_HOME}/BOWebServer/conf/server.xml
   2. Edit the keystorePass value in the server.xml file with the <password>.

9. Restart the OBR services by running the below commands:

   On Windows:

   1. From the run window, type services.msc.

   2. In the services window, right-click and select Stop for the following services:

      • HPE_PMDB_Platform_Administrator
      • SAPBOBJEnterpriseXI40

      Wait for a while for the services to stop.

   3. Right-click and select Start for the following services:

      • HPE_PMDB_Platform_Administrator
      • SAPBOBJEnterpriseXI40

   On Linux

   RHEL 6.x/SLES:

   • service HPE_PMDB_Platform_Administrator stop
   • service SAPBOBJEnterpriseXI40 stop
   • service HPE_PMDB_Platform_Administrator start
   • service SAPBOBJEnterpriseXI40 start

   RHEL 7.x/OEL:

   • systemctl stop HPE_PMDB_Platform_Administrator.service
   • systemctl stop SAPBOBJEnterpriseXI40.service
   • systemctl start service HPE_PMDB_Platform_Administrator.service
   • systemctl start SAPBOBJEnterpriseXI40.service

10. Test the HTTPS access to the OBR Administration console and SAP BusinessObjects Launch pad using the following syntax:

    https://<OBR_Server_FQDN>:21412/OBRApp

    https://OBR_Server_FQDN>:8443/BI

After you complete the installation and Generating a Certificate Authority Signed Certificate, you must configure OBR so that it can collect data from the sources. For information to configure OBR, see Documentation Portal.

For information to schedule the back up, see Backup and Restore - Disaster Recovery topic in the Documentation Portal.

If you want to install OBR and Operations Agent on the same system, you must perform the following additional configuration steps:

1. Install Operations Agent on an OBR system.

2. Log on to the OBR system as administrator for Windows or root for Linux.

3. In the command line console, run the following command:

   ovcert -list

   The list of certificates installed on the system is displayed.

4. From the command line console, note down the contents of the Certificates and Trusted Certificates field under the Keystore Content section.

   Example:

   

5. On the OBR system, run the following command:

   ovcert -remove <certificate_content>

   In this instance, <certificate_content> is the complete string of characters that appears under the Certificates Keystore Content section.

   Do not remove the content under Keystore Content<OVRG: server> section.

6. On the OBR system, run the following command:

   ovcert -remove<trusted_certificate_content>

   In this instance, <trusted_certificate_content> is the complete string of characters that appears under the Trusted Certificates Keystore Content section.

   Do not remove the content under Keystore Content<OVRG: server> section.

7. Go to the Operations Agent bits download location or OVINSTALLDIR\bin\win64\OpC\install directory and run the following command:

      Also, replace OvCoreId_OBM_Server with the Core Id of the OBM management server and OvCoreId_OBR_Server with the Core Id of the OBR system.

      Run the following command in OBM server to get the OvCoreId: 

      ovcoreid –ovrg server

   4. Save and Close the policy.

   5. Deploy the policy to the OBR system.
   If you are using OM for Linux:

   1. Log on to the management server as root.
   2. Run the following command:

   cp /etc/opt/OV/share/conf/OpC/mgmt_sv/tmpl_respmgrs/backup-server/etc/opt/OV/share/conf/OpC/mgmt_sv/respmgrs/allnode

   3. Edit the /etc/opt/OV/share/conf/OpC/mgmt_sv/respmgrs/allnodes/backup-server file to replace M1 with the FQDN of the OM management server and M2 with the FQDN of the OBR system.
   4. Run the following command:

   opcragt –dist<OBR Nodename>

10. Run the following command on the OBR system:

    ovcert -exporttrusted -file<filename>-ovrg server

    In the instance, <filename> is the name with which you want to save the certificate. You must specify the complete path to the certificate file.

11. Run the following command on the OBR system:

    ovcert -importtrusted -file<filename>

    In the instance, <filename> is the name of the file that you copied in the previous step. You must specify the complete path to the certificate file.

12. On the OBR system, run the following command:

    ovcert -trust<Management_Server>-ovrg server

    In this instance, <Management_Server> is the FQDN of the OM system or OBM system.

13. Run the following command on the OBR system:

    ovc -restart

14. Run the following command on the OBR system:

    ovcert -list -ovrg server

    The trust certificates are displayed.

If trust certificates are absent, perform the following steps:

1. Run the following commands on the OBR server:

   ovcert -exporttrusted -file <filename1>

   ovcert -importtrusted -file <filename1> -ovrg server

   ovc -restart

   ovdeploy -env PMDB_HOME -ovrg server

   The value of the PMDB_HOME environment variable must display.

2. Run the following command on the OBR system:

   ovc -status -level 8

   The OBR Policy call backs (shrcb) parameter must be listed.

   If not listed, run the following command:

   On Linux: ovcreg -add $PMDB_HOME/config/shr_ux.xml

   On Windows: ovcreg -add $PMDB_HOME/config/shr_win.xml

3. Run the following command on the OBR system:

   ovc -restart

   If the restart of OBR system is not successful or if the system hangs, run the following commands:

   ovc -kill

   ovc -start

Run the following command to verify certificate and policy deployment:

ovdeploy -env PMDB_HOME -ovrg server -host <OBR_Host_Name>

If the value of the PMDB_HOME environment variable is displayed, then certificate and policy deployment is successful.
