BMC Discovery 11.3 on CentOS 6 compared to previous versions
This section introduces the main system level differences between BMC Discovery versions before 11.3 and version 11.3 running on CentOS 6, and how those changes affect BMC Discovery users. If you have upgraded to version 11.3, your appliance is running on CentOS 6.
Appliances upgraded to 11.3 - CentOS 6
Service control
All of the BMC Discovery application services in 11.3 on CentOS 6 are controlled using the tw_service_control
utility. For complete information on its usage, see the tw_service_control
documentation. The tw_service_control
utility enables you to start and stop individual application services, such as the Application Server service or the External API service, or all services as one, which is the equivalent of the tideway
service in versions before 11.3.
In CentOS 6, the only services that require you to use system level commands to control them are cluster
, omniNames
, and occasionally, httpd.
The appliance
service still exists, but is only used by the system at boot.
In an 11.2 appliance you would restart the security service using:
$ sudo /sbin/service tideway restart security
On an 11.3 appliance running on CentOS 6, you should enter:
$ tw_service_control --restart security
Or to restart all services (the equivalent of the tideway service in release before 11.3), you should enter:
$ tw_service_control --restart
The tideway
service still exists, though you should use the tw_service_control
utility.
If you have scripts that interact with BMC Discovery services
If you have written scripts to interact with BMC Discovery services, you should modify those scripts to use the tw_service_control
utility.
Apache changes
BMC Discovery uses the Apache web server. In 11.3 appliances running on CentOS 6, the Apache version is still 2.2.
Apache configuration management
- The HTTPS configuration in the BMC Discovery HTTPS Configuration page now overwrites
ssl.conf
.
Atrium SSO no longer supported
Integration with BMC Atrium Single Sign-On was deprecated in BMC Discovery 11.0 and has been removed. You should use the integration with Remedy Single Sign-On.
