nimldr
Utility to install Nimsoft infrastructure on UNIX platforms

Installation

The nimldr.tar.Z file is a compressed tar archive. Download it to the Linux/Unix system you intend to use it and run:
# uncompress nimldr.tar.Z
# tar xf nimldr.tar

Some newer versions of the tar utility will let you do this in one step with:
# tar xzf nimldr.tar.Z

You should now have a directory nimldr with subdirectories for the different platforms that are available. Go to the directory that best matches your platform, and run the nimldr utility found there.

The README file gives help on running nimldr and explains the options.

  • 3.57
    11.09.2012 Adds installation support for Debian versions 5 and 6 systems, and Ubuntu versions 10, 11 and 12 systems.
    This package contains:
    Robot v5.70
    Hub v5.81
    Distsrv v5.23
    3.55
    01.07.2011 Included support for AIX7.
    Included support for GLIBC versions 2.13-2.19.
    Fixed problem where autoremove setting was not honored during automatic installation.
    3.54
    01.10.2010 Changed default for unregistering robot during shutdown to "no" so that express installations can chose to either enable it (with the -a option) or leave it unset.
    Added "admin" probe permissions for nas during installation.
    Fixes for recognizing Linux GNU libc (GLIBC) version 2.10 to 2.12.
    3.51
    11.06.2010 Fixed crash during cleanup on some systems.
    Add support for silent express install (exits instead of downgrading to interactive mode if not enough information is provided on the commandline) to help scripting installs.
    Component group for controller, hdb and spooler changed to Infrastructure.
    Fixes for cloud installation mode.
    3.42
    11.12.2009 Added detection of LINUX glibc versions up to 2.12.
    3.31
    08.12.2009 Added support for new Cloud installation option (Linux and Solaris on Intel compatible only).

    3.21

    19.06.2009 Added extra logging around Tunnel setups to warn about problems.
    Added check to see that installation directory and temporary directory are not the same (temporary directory is removed after installation).
    3.17
    13.05.2009 Extra commandline parameters:
    -o sets the first probe port
    -R sets the robot ip, useful for systems with multiple ip addresses.

    LINUX: Recognize GNU libc v2.8 and 2.9.
    3.16
    19.12.2008 Fix: No longer looks up hub's ip address if one is provided on the command line. Works around problems on systems that use wildcard DNS or where the Hub name is not the same as that system's hostname. 3.13
    11.09.2008 64bit versions of AIX (5 or higher), Linux (glibc 2.3 or higher) and Solaris ( 8 or higher on SPARC, 10 or higher on x86) can install Infrastructure.
    Added detection of Solaris 11 Operating System.
    3.12
    05.05.2008 LINUX: Infrastructure only available on LINUX glibc = 2.3
    Use installation package name to determine if a Hub is available, instead of the platform nimldr is running on. 2.26

    Added new flags to support versioned packages.
    Allow package name on the commandline to have the .zip extension.
    Use local hostname as default name when installing Hub.
