Start the ZENworks Reporting Server installation program by using one of the following methods:
On the installation server, insert the Novell ZENworks Reporting Server DVD for Windows.
On a Windows device, the installation begins automatically after inserting the DVD. You can also select the language from the installation page that appears. If the installation does not begin automatically, run setup.exe from the root after inserting the DVD.
On a Linux device, mount the DVD, then run sh /media/cdrom/setup.sh.
On the installation server, insert the Novell ZENworks Reporting ServerDVD for Linux.
Mount the DVD.
To start a command line installation to a directory where all (including “others”) have read and execute access, either mount the DVD or copy the DVD’s files to a temporary location other than the /root directory.
Ensure that the copied files and their parent directories have read and execute access for all the users (including “others”).
Run the following command:
/mount_location/setup.sh -e
Create a silent install configuration file by using the following command:
setup.exe/setup.sh -s
Open the silent install configuration file in a text editor.
Search for ADMINISTRATOR_PASSWORD=.
Replace $lax.nl.env.ADMIN_PASSWORD$with the actual password.
For example, if the password is novell, then the entry will be as follows:
ADMINISTRATOR_PASSWORD=novell.
Save the silent install configuration file and exit the editor.
Run the silent install configuration file by using the following command:
setup.exe/setup.sh -s -f path_to_the_silent_install file
During installation, refer to the information in Table 2-1, Installation Information for details on the installation data that you need to know.
If you are using the GUI installation, you can also click the button for similar information.
For the command line method, you can type back and press Enter to return to a previous installation option to make changes.
In either case, part of completing the installation process is for the database to be updated, which causes high CPU utilization during that process. This can cause the services to start up slowly.
