RSA Via Lifecycle and Governance 7.0 Installation Steps
- Login or su to the user root.
- Make the directory structure to house the L&G installation files, as follows:
mkdir /tmp/Aveksa mkdir /tmp/aveksa/packages mkdir /tmp/aveksa/staging
- Transfer the following packages to /tmp/aveksa/packages:
- aveksa-7.0.0.tar.bz2
- cvupack_Linux_x86_64.zip
- linuxamd64_12102_database_1of2.zip
- linuxamd64_12102_database_2of2.zip
- linuxamd64_12102_grid_1of2.zip
- linuxamd64_12102_grid_2of2.zip
- openjdk17_v001.tar.bz2
- oracle_12.1.0.2_patches_v001.zip
- wildfly-8.2.0.Final.tar
- As root, unpack the installer to /tmp/aveksa/staging :
cd /tmp/aveksa/staging tar -jxvf ../packages/aveksa-7.0.0.tar.bz2
- Configure NTP on the server by running the following command:
cd /tmp/aveksa/staging/deploy/bin ./modifytimeserver.sh <timeserver hostname or IP>
- If you do not have a timeserver, or if it is temporarily unavailable, you can disable NTP using the following:
mv /etc/ntp.conf /etc/ntp.conf.disable
- Install RSA Via Lifecycle and Governance 7.0
If you executed the RSA Via L&G 7.0 uninstall.sh, the Aveksa_System.cfg was removed and needs to be unpacked from aveksa-7.0.0.tar.bz2 prior to running install.sh.
- As root, complete the following:
cd /tmp/aveksa/staging ./install.sh
- The next lines are executed only if the Aveksa_System.cfg is being reported as missing by the installer:
cd /tmp/aveksa/staging tar -jxvf ../packages/aveksa-7.0.0.tar.bz2 deploy/Aveksa_System.cfg
NOTE: This command might take a while to complete as it is searching through a heavily compressed archive looking for the single file.
- Type Yes to agree to the license terms and press Enter.
- Type Yes when asked Do you wish to install and press Enter.
- Press Enter to accept the default location for the installation files. The default is /tmp/aveksa/staging.

The installation will perform an nslookup on your hostname. If a nameserver was defined earlier and it is either unreachable or does not have an entry for your server you will receive the following error:
Oracle Installer Exit Code: 253
The /tmp/aveksa/oracle.log file will have the error:
Check for integrity of file "/etc/resolv.conf" failed. |
