Prerequisites for Installing Drift Management and help as non-root - Linux only
Important
Drift Management has been deprecated from BMC CMDB. The documentation provided for Drift Management is also deprecated and provided for information only.
See Deprecated features.
Best practice
- /tmp
- /usr/ar (default AR System installed location)
- /etc/arsystem/<ARS- server-name>/armonitor.conf
If you do not install Drift Management in your home directory but in the default AR System directories, then you must be given access to specific directories that the installer writes to:
- /usr/arsystem/ (default AR System installed location)
- /usr/tmp
When installing help, your Linux system administrator must give you full read, write, and execute access to the BMCCDMOnlineHelpSetup.bin executable and to the /tmp directory. You should install help in your home directory. Otherwise, you must be given access to specific directories that the installer writes to.
After you give access to the directories, run the following commands as a root user:
mkdir /usr/arsystem
chown remedy:bmc /usr/arsystem
cd /bin
ln -s /opt/bmc/ARSystem/bin/arsystem ./arsystem
cd /
ln -s /opt/bmc/ARSystem/pluginsvr/ pluginsvr
cd /
ln -s /opt/bmc/ARSystem/conf ./conf
