4.2.2.3 Default User and Password
Default password for root user is netmax generally.

1. Hardware Installation.
2. Connect one end of the network cable to the No. 0 network port of the server, and
the other end of the network cable to the related switch or router.
If you want to know more information about the network, contact the lab administrator.
Note: You must use No. 0 network port. The NetMAX detects the IP address of the No. 0
network card to ensure the normal operation.
4.3 System Login

Refer to section 3.5.
4.4 Network Configuration
4.4.1 Configuring Network
The RHEL GUI allows you to configure the network card IP address. Right-click the
network icon and select Edit Connections…, see Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1 Edit Connections

4.4.1.1 Network Connections
In the Wired tab, select No. 0 network card, that is System eth0. Click Edit… to
configure the “System eth0” related network card, see Figure 4-2.
Figure 4-2 Network Connections
Note: You must use No. 0 network port. The NetMAX detects the IP address of the No. 0
network card to ensure the normal operation.
Note: Some machines may have multiple network cards. Check the network card and
network connection being used, and configure that network card accordingly.
4.4.1.2 Editing System ethX
In the IPv4 Settings tab, configure the IP parameters, see Figure 4-3.

Figure 4-3 Editing System eth0
4.4.1.3 IPv4 Settings Method
Select “Manual” for Method, see Figure 4-4.

Figure 4-4 IPv4 Setting Method
Note: Because the server needs a fixed IP address, plan the IP address in advance.
4.4.1.4 IPv4 Settings Addresses
In the Addresses area, click Add to enter the IP address, Netmask, and Gateway, see
Figure 4-5.

Figure 4-5 IPv4 Setting Addresses
4.4.1.5 Connect Automatically
Check Connect automatically, and click Apply..., see Figure 4-6.

Figure 4-6 Connect Automatically
4.4.1.6 Multiple IP Address Configuration
Multiple IP addresses may cause abnormal NetMAX DB connection. It is strongly

recommended to configure only one IP address for the NetMAX server.
4.4.1.7 Taking Configuration Effect
After the configuration is complete, check Enable Networking to let the configuration to
take effect, see Figure 4-7.

Figure 4-7 Enable Networking
4.4.2 Verifying Network
4.4.2.1 Enter Terminal
In the RHEL system, select Application > System Tools > Terminal, see Figure 4-8.

Figure 4-8 Entering Terminal
The terminal window is displayed, see Figure 4-9.

Figure 4-9 Terminal Window
4.4.2.2 Querying Network Card IP Settings
Enter “ifconfig –a” in the terminal to query the network card IP address. The available IP
settings are shown as follows (eth0 as an example):
# ifconfig -a

4.4.2.3 Ping Test
Enter “ping xx.xx.xx.xx (for example, an IP address of a connected PC)” in the terminal to
check whether the network connection is OK. Press Ctrl + C to stop the ping test.
# ping 10.61.117.33
PING 10.61.117.33 (10.61.117.33) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.61.117.33: icmp_seq=2 ttl=251 time=0.421 ms

^C
4.4.2.4 Abnormal Network
If the “ifconfig” is abnormal, and the “ping” is abnormal (including broken link, severe
delay, or high packet loss rate), pause the test. Contact the lab administrator to solve the
problem, and then go to the next step.
4.4.3 Verifying SSH Remote Login
When the network is normal, log in to the RHEL server remotely from a PC by using the
SSH tool (for example, putty) to verify the remote login is normal.
4.4.3.1 Host Name
Install the putty software on your PC. Enter Host Name, and click OK, see Figure 4-10.
Figure 4-10 Putty Configuration

4.4.3.2 Security Alert
If it is the first connection, the software will pop up the following dialog box. Select “Yes”,
see Figure 4-11.
Figure 4-11 Security Alert
4.4.3.3 Entering Username and Password
Enter root, and press Enter. Enter the password of root user, and press Enter, see Figure
4-12.

Figure 4-12 Entering Username and Password
After a remote SSH is connected successfully, the system will prompt “#”, and wait for the
Linux command.
Only when the remote SSH connection succeeds, you can go to the next step.
4.4.3.4 Remote SSH Connection Failure
The remote SSH connection is enabled by default for a RHEL server. The network
problem causes the most remote SSH connection failure. Check the network that
connects the server and PC, and contact the lab administrator to solve the problem.
Note: Only when the remote SSH connection succeeds, you can install the
NexMAX/NDS.
4.5 Time and Time Zone Modification

For the OS installed by an automatic CD, the default time and time zone may be different
from the requirements. You can modify them based on the actual situations.
Right-click the desktop and select “Open in Terminal”.
Run the following command, and the system will prompt the “Date/Time Properties” GUI.
#system-config-date
4.5.1 Date and Time

Set the data and time in the Date and Time tab, see Figure 4-13.

Figure 4-13 Date and Time
4.5.2 Time Zone

Set the time zone in the Time Zone tab. Click OK and the settings take effect, see
Figure 4-14.
Figure 4-14 Time Zone

4.6 Set Auto Mount /netmax

After /netmax path is created, you still need to set auto mount /netmax path when starting
up the system. In the scenario with disk array, after auto mounting is configured, you
need to guarantee the disk array is corrected to the server normally. Otherwise error
information will prompt up to stop the further login during the system starting up.
There is different method for different equipment to set auto mounting.
4.6.1 Mount Fujitsu Disk Array
Add the contents with red fonts in the /etc/fstab file.
# vi /etc/fstab

4.7 Sybase Installation
4.7.1 Locating Directory
Log in to the system as the root user, and enter the directory in which the Sybase IQ
installation files are saved.
# cd /sybase_install

4.7.2 Executing Installation
After authorizing the execution rights, run the installation file.
#./run_install_linux.sh /netmax
Note: /netmax is the installation directory of the Sybase. It is strongly recommended to

assign a directory of the disk with the maximum capacity to install the Sybase. Generally
speaking, this directory is /netmax in the scenario with a disk array, while it is /home in the
scenario without a disk array.
4.7.3 Making Configuration Take Effect
# su -
4.7.4 Verifying Installation
Switch off the terminal which the installation commands are executed on. Log in to a new
command line terminal as the root user, and execute the following command in blue to
check whether the environment variables have values.
# echo $SYBASE
/netmax/SybaseIQ
Note: If the command line output is not blank, the Sybase is installed successfully.
4.8 Sybase Authorization

The Sybase IQ can be used in a long term after being authorized. Otherwise there is only
one-month probation period. Otherwise there is only one-month probation period. Sybase
IQ should be reinstalled for further use if the probation period is expired.
Sybase authorization procedure is as follows:

4.8.1 Get the License
1. Check the operating system and the hardware type.
# cat /proc/version
2. Check the server’s hostid.
#$SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/bin/lmutil hostid
3. Check the CPU information
# $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/bin/cpuinfo
4. Submit the above information to cheng.xie@cbetton.com to get the license file.

Please attach the photo of the disk license and host ID in the mail.
4.8.2 Authorization
Whether the NetMAX is installed or not before authorization will affect the procedure of
authorization.
4.8.2.1 NetMAX Not Installed
1) Put the gotten License to $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/licenses. If the directory does not

exist, you should create it manually.
2) Modify $IQDIR15/Sysam/iq.default.lmp to:
PE = EE
LT = AC

4.8.2.2 NetMAX Installed
1) Put the gotten License to $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/licenses. If the directory does not

exist, you should create it manually.
2) Delete netmax.lmp file. “netmax” is default instance name which can be different.
3) Modify $IQDIR15/Sysam/iq.default.lmp to:
PE = EE
LT = AC
4) Restarting the DB
# service NETMAXDB restart
5) Restarting the NetMAX service
# service NetMAXService restart
6) Check netmax.iqmsg file. If there is no FAIL information, the authorization is

successful. “netmax” is default instance name which can be different.
4.9 Sybase Uninstallation
4.9.1 Locating the Directory
Log in to the system as the root user, and enter the uninstalling directory of the Sybase
IQ.

# cd $SYBASE/sybuninstall/IQSuite/
4.9.2 Performing Uninstalling
Run ./uninstall to uninstall the Sybase.
# ./uninstall
There are four tips during the uninstalling procedure, press Enter to continue.
4.10 Set Clock Synchronization
4.10.1.1 Backup ntp.conf File
#cp /etc/ntp.conf /etc/ntp.conf.clnt.bak
4.10.1.2 Edit ntp.conf File
1. #vi /etc/ntp.conf
2. Modify file /etc /ntp.conf like this:

……
server 10.75.83.85 prefer
#server 0.pool.ntp.org
……
driftfile /var/lib/ntp/drift
……
#server 127.127.1.0 # local clock

#fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10
……
Remark:
 IP in this sentence server 10.75.83.85 prefer is an example.
 #server 127.127.1.0 # local clock
#fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10
These commented-out sentences means that the spare clock source function of the
host machine is disabled.
4.10.1.3 Create ntp.drift
#touch /var/lib/ntp/drift
4.10.1.4 Start NTP service
Execute command #service ntpd stop and #service ntpd start，or only execute
#service ntpd restart
Before that, command # chkconfig ntpd on is recommended to execute firstly, in

order to automatically start the ntp service on the next system restart.
4.10.1.5 Verify NTP service
1. The following feedback should display
[root@uep3xtest ~]# ps -ef|grep ntp

ntp 5470 1 0 07:35 ? 00:00:00 ntpd -u ntp:ntp -p
/var/run/ntpd.pid -g
2. The following feedback should display
[root@uep3xtest ~]# ntpq -p

remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
===============================================================
==
*10.75.83.85 .LOCL. 5 l 1 64 1 0.000 0.000 0.004
The * character in the front of the clock source server IP signify that the npt service is
started successfully.

Notice：ntp service takes minutes to start after system restart.
4.10.1.6 Notice
1. The above commands should be executed under root user.
2. By default, client synchronizes with server every 64 seconds.
3. By default, ntp daemon shuts down without setting the clock when the time delay
between ntp client and server is over 1000 serconds. nptdate or date command can
be used to modify the time delay value. See also
http://www.ntp.org/documentation.html。
