Installing BMC AMI Console Management for zEnterprise

You can install BMC AMI Console Management using the following steps.

1. Download the BMC AMI Console Management installer package from BMC Software’s Electronic Product Distribution site.
2. Download and install the latest Oracle Java release. BMC AMI Console Management requires Java 1.6_20 or later before installation. To install Java:
   1. Copy the Java installer package to the BMC AMI Console Management server box using WinSCP or another binary file transfer method. Place the file in a directory such as, /usr/iocinst
   2. Use the RPM install command
       rpm -i jdk-6unn-linux-vvv.rpmwhere nn is the release number, and vvv indicates 32-bit or 64-bit Java.
3. Copy the installer package to the BMC AMI Console Management server box using WinSCP or another binary file transfer method. Place the file in a directory, such as /usr/iocinst. The installer package will be a compressed tar format Linux archive with the name format BMC-MVCM-nnn.tgz where n.nn is the BMC AMI Console Management master version number.

4. Use ssh (or Putty) and login to the BMC AMI Console Management box as root. Change directories to /usr/iocinst. Execute the ls command and you should see the BMC-AMI-Console-Management-nn-nn.tgz file. Unpack the installer package using the commandtar xvf BMC-MVCM-n.nn.tgz

   which will create a subdirectory named MVCM-nn (eg. 'MVCM-32').

5. Change directory into the MVCM-nn subdirectory. This directory will contain the installer scripts install.sh and doinstall.sh.

6. Run run-me-first.sh. 
   Review the output from the run-me-first.sh script. If there are any errors, resolve the errors before you install BMC AMI Console Management. Contact BMC Support Central  if you have any questions.

7. To start the install and monitor the progress, use the command./install.sh
   A successful install will end with a prompt to reboot the server.
8. Reboot the Linux server from the command line using the command reboot.
