Managed data is accessible in ColdFusion Server 5 Enterprise Edition through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management Information Base (MIB) for Application Management features. You can integrate this information with your third-party system management tools. These tools provide a way for you to manage diverse components of your enterprise from a management station in your network.
If you want to use the ColdFusion Server MIB features, you must install SNMP before installing ColdFusion Server. For instructions, see the following procedures.
Tip To find the version of SNMP that you are currently running, enter |
The ColdFusion Server MIB Agent uses the Dynamic Module approach of UCD-SNMP 4.2. To use the MIB Agent, you must ensure that UCD-SNMP 4.2.1 or higher is installed on your system.
For Red Hat 6.2, download ucd-snmp-4.2.1-2.rh62.i386.rpm
For Red Hat 7.0, download ucd-snmp-4.2.1-1.rh7.0.i386.rpm
Note By default, UCD-SNMP installs into the /usr/sbin directory. |
When you install the MIB Agent, the ColdFusion Server installation asks whether you want to replace the current snmpd.conf with a version of snmpd.conf that will make ColdFusion MIB information accessible.
If you answer Yes, the current copy of snmpd.conf in /etc/snmp is renamed to snmp.conf_original, and the ColdFusion version of snmpd.conf is inserted into /etc/snmp. If you answer No, a file called snmpd.conf_macromedia is placed into /etc/snmp. You then have to merge the content from snmpd.conf_macromedia into snmpd.conf to make ColdFusion MIB information accessible.
After finishing the ColdFusion Server installation, you must configure your system to use the MIB features. For more information, see "Configuring SNMP MIB".
The following table includes important considerations to keep in mind when configuring your network before the ColdFusion Server installation:
btcats
exist. It attempts to create this group during the ColdFusion installation using groupadd
. If you are using NIS or NIS+, ensure that either nsswitch.conf allows for group resolution from the group file, or the group btcats
gets created in NIS/NIS+ before installing ClusterCATS.
ifconfig eth0 multicast
eth0
; enter the appropriate adapter name for your configuration. The ColdFusion Server 5 installation upgrades your current version of ColdFusion Server automatically. However, keep in mind the following important instructions when upgrading from a previous release of ColdFusion Server:
btcluadm
, you must remove cluster member servers before upgrading them to ColdFusion Server 5. In addition, some ClusterCATS management operations using the btcluadm
utility require a license key. The license key is "GoColdFusion".
Warning Before proceeding with the upgrade, backup your ColdFusion Server Web applications. |
Before installing ColdFusion Server, check that your Web server is installed and running.
Enter the URL for a Web page or site from your local Web server in your browser's Address field and press Enter.
For example, if the file myindex.htm is in your Web document root directory, load the page in your browser using the localhost URL:
http://127.0.0.1/myindex.htm
If your Web server is not running, you will receive an error message.
To remove ColdFusion Server, use the remove
utility t.
/opt/coldfusion/uninstall/cfremove
