Linux Installation Best Practices
How you install Linux has an impact on Dell OpenManage Network Manager’s installation. Here
are some tested best practices:
• Make sure you follow the instructions in Important: Configure File Handles in Linux on page
32.
• You can install Linux in its Desktop option, or if you select Basic Server (default) - choose
additional packages: XWindows, Basic / Core Gnome Desktop without Gnome utilities,
although we suspect any Gnome will work)
• This application can run on any Linux / Solaris desktop environment (CDE, KDE, Gnome,
and so on) but the installer will only install shortcuts for CDE.
• Turn off SE Linux in /etc/selinux/config. Change SELINUX=disabled. This typically requires
a reboot.
• You must install compatibility library from installation media (so it is compatible with
installation)
compat-libstdc++-33.x86_64 3.2.3-69.el6 @InstallMedia.
• Add your IP and hostname to /etc/hosts. For example:
10.18.0.241 rh6Test
Also: verify that /etc/hosts points to new name-use the following command and you
should see similar output.
[qa@rh6Test Desktop]$ cat /etc/hosts
10.18.0.241rh6Test.localrh6Test# Added by NetworkManager
127.0.0.1localhost.localdomainlocalhost
::1 rh6Test.localrh6Testlocalhost6.localdomain6localhost6
