Verify that required OS Packages are installed

Based on the following tables for the supported versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Suse Linux Enterprise, ensure that all required packages are installed and that packages that must not be installed have been removed.

Note: During installation, the SA Installer performs a prerequisite check that includes checking for recommended package version levels. You may see warnings during the check if your installation has earlier versions of these packages. HPE recommends that you upgrade any packages flagged with a warning in order to ensure SA’s full functionality.

You can continue the SA installation with the earlier packages, but you may sacrifice the functionality provided by the newer version.

Required Linux packages for SA Core hosts

This section describes platform-specific packages and utilities that must be installed for the operating system on the server that will host an SA Core.

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 5 x64, an SA Core Server must have the packages listed in this section. For Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6 x_64, an SA Core Server must have the packages listed in Packages Required for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 x64 and Oracle Enterprise Linux 6 x64 installed and the packages listed in Packages That Must Be Removed for Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 6 and Oracle Enterprise Linux 6 x64 removed.

Verifying that Packages are Removed

To verify that the samba package, for example, is installed, enter the following command:

# rpm -qa | grep samba

You can obtain the latest versions of these packages from the Red Hat errata web site.

To remove packages, enter the following command:

# rpm -e package_name

Some packages in this list may be depended on by other packages that are installed on your system. For example, the default Red Hat installation includes mod_python and mod_perl that depend on httpd being installed. In order to remove packages that fulfill dependencies, you must simultaneously remove the packages that create the dependencies. In this example, you would need to enter the following command:

# rpm -e httpd mod_python mod_perl

If rpm identifies an additional dependency, it will note which packages have dependencies on the components to be removed and fail. These packages must be added to the uninstall command line. If the chain of dependencies cannot be suitably resolved, enter the rpm -e --nodeps command to remove the desired packages without considering dependencies.

Additional Linux Requirements

For Linux systems, you must also adhere to the following requirements:

You must specify the server’s initial run level as level 3 in the /etc/inittab file.
If the server uses Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) hard disks, you must enable Direct Memory Access (DMA) and some other advanced hard disk features that improve performance by running the following script as root on the server and then reboot the server:
# cat > /etc/sysconfig/harddisks << EOF USE_DMA=1 MULTIPLE_IO=16 EIDE_32BIT=3 LOOKAHEAD=1 EOF
Due to a bug in the Linux kernel, you must configure the loopback interface to use a Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size of 16036 bytes or less. To make this change, perform the following tasks:
1. Run the ifconfig lo mtu 16036 command. This sets the MTU of the running kernel.
2. Add the line MTU=16036 to the end of the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo file. This causes the MTU to be properly set when the system is booted.

Required SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 x64 and 11 x64 SP2 Packages for SA Core Hosts

For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 x64 and 11 x64 SP2, an SA Core Server must have the packages listed in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 and 11 Required Packages installed and the packages listed in Packages that Must be Removed for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 removed.
