Installation


AIX

  • Preferably use any Linux for hosting the tool (it is all much easier), if you have no such option then use AIX.

  • create stor2rrd user under root: 
    useradd -c "STOR2RRD user" -m stor2rrd
chmod 755 /home/stor2rrd
chdev -l sys0 -a maxuproc=2000
chuser  nofiles=32768 data=-1  stack=-1 rss=-1 stor2rrd
chuser  data=-1  stack=-1 rss=-1 apache
  • If you have already running LPAR2RRD on the same host then skip to Web tab.

  • Install Apache, RRDTool and SNMP utils
    yum install httpd rrdtool rrdtool-perl net-snmp-perl
  • Complete LPAR2RRD installation on via yum/dnf in a single docu

  • Manual installation of older version prerequisite RRDTool 1.4.8, they are quite old, do not use it unless you have any particular reason for that

  • If you already use older rpm packages not Linux Tool based and you want to upgrade to the latest in AIX Linux Tool Box then follow this

Red Hat, CentOS, Rocky Linux ...

  • create stor2rrd user under root: 
    useradd -c "STOR2RRD user" -m stor2rrd
chmod 755 /home/stor2rrd
  • Increase user limits by editing /etc/security/limits.conf 
    stor2rrd        hard    stack           -1
stor2rrd        soft    stack           -1

  • If you have already running LPAR2RRD on the same host then skip to Web tab.

  • Per platform:
    • RHEL 8: enable the codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-*-rpms repository 
      ARCH=$( /bin/arch )
subscription-manager repos --enable "codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-${ARCH}-rpms"
    • CentOS 8: enable the PowerTools repository 
      yum config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
or
dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools
      You can also just open /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Linux-PowerTools.repo with a text editor and set enabled= to 1 instead of 0

    • RHEL 9: enable config-manager and the PowerTools repository 
      dnf install 'dnf-command(config-manager)'
      Based on your operating system enable one of following (crb was renamed to codeready-builder-for-rhel-9-x86_64-rpms) 
      dnf config-manager --enable crb
or
dnf config-manager --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-9-x86_64-rpms
  • Install prerequsites: 
    yum install perl rrdtool rrdtool-perl httpd mod_ssl
yum install epel-release
yum install perl-TimeDate perl-HTTP-Date perl-Env perl-CGI perl-Data-Dumper perl-LWP-Protocol-https perl-libwww-perl perl-Time-HiRes perl-IO-Tty
yum install perl-JSON-XS perl-XML-Simple perl-XML-NamespaceSupport perl-URI perl-XML-SAX-Base perl-XML-SAX perl-XML-LibXML
yum install ed bc libxml2 sharutils
  • RHEL 6.x and olders:
    Note that rrdtool-perl and epel-release (this is necessary only for PDF reporting) might not be in your RedHat base repository especially for RHEL 6.x and olders.
    Install CentOS package instead rrdtool-perl-1.4.8-9.el7.x86_64.rpm and epel-release-7-11.noarch.rpm
