5 1 Intrductin The ServerView Repsitry Server package, in the fllwing referred t as Repsitry Server fr shrt, prvides a web server which cntains the firmware repsitry fr PRIMERGY servers and runs in yur cmpany's intranet. The repsitry server perfrms the fllwing tasks: The Repsitry Server keeps the firmware repsitry up-t-date by regularly dwnlading the mst recent updates frm the Fujitsu Webserver ( Administratrs may receive messages infrming n the dwnlad prgress and errr situatins. The Repsitry Server enables the managed servers in yur intranet t access this regularly updated firmware repsitry withut leaving the intranet.the (virtual) machine installed by the Repsitry Server sftware serves as a prxy server fr thse mnitred managed ndes which d nt have a cnnectin t the internet. The dwnlad prcess which uses the Repsitry Server fr keeping up the update repsitry is cmpletely independent frm updating the managed ndes. The managed ndes cnnect t the Repsitry Server t receive the necessary updates fr their firmware cmpnents. As an alternative t dwnlading the updates directly frm the Fujitsu Web Server, the Repsitry Server therefre allws yu t maintain a repsitry f firmware cmpnents in a decentralized way.

11 2.1 Requirements fr installatin (Linux) 2 Installing / uninstalling the Repsitry Server The Repsitry Server is nt available n Windws systems. 2.1 Requirements fr installatin (Linux) This sftware is tested and released fr fllwing Linux perating systems. RHEL 6.3 (32-bit/64-bit system) RHEL 6.5 (32-bit/64-bit system) RHEL 6.6 (32-bit/64-bit system) RHEL 7.0 (64-bit system) It is recmmended t use a separate virtual machine fr the installatin. Make sure the /bin/bash directry can be fund. User must be rt. The fllwing libraries are necessary fr the dwnlad: libssl libcrypt libcurl Apprpriate links t the necessary versins f these libraries are set in the /usr/lib directry (fr 32-bit system) r /usr/lib64 directry (fr 64-bit system) f user rt. libstdc++.s.5 (package cmpat-libstdc el6.i686 must be installed) The RPM packages t be installed are: sendmail el6.i686 (n 32-bit system) r sendmail el6.x86_64 (n 64-bit system) httpd el6_2.1.i686 (n 32-bit system) r httpd el6_4.x86_64 (n 64-bit system) ServerView Update Repsitry 11

12 2 Installing / uninstalling the Repsitry Server Please install current versins f Sendmail and Apache Web Server if nt yet present. Several GB f disk space is required t stre the updates. All requirements are checked by the preinstall script. 2.2 Installing the Repsitry Server Start the installatin f the Repsitry Server with the fllwing cmmand: rpm -i RepServer-<versin>.i686.rpm (n 32-bit system) rpm -i RepServer-<versin>.x86_64.rpm (n 64-bit system) By installing the RPM package, the current Linux system becmes a Repsitry Server. A new directry /pt/fujitsu/serverviewsuite/repserver directry is created during the installatin prcess. It cntains all the executable files and the cnfiguratin files needed fr the Repsitry Server. After the installatin prcess, the fllwing cnfiguratin changes are made by the pstinstall script: The rsyslg system lgging interface is extended by a new subdirectry fr lgfiles: /var/lg/fujitsu/serverviewsuite/repserver An entry is made t the /etc/rsyslg.cnf file in rder t redirect the lg entries f the facility lcal0 t the repserver.lg file. The rsyslg system lgging is restarted t make changes effective. Cnfiguratin changes fr Apache Web Server in the /etc/httpd/cnf/httpd.cnf file. The first crn jb is created and makes the fllwing entry in crntab f user rt: 00 <installatin hur + 2> * * 0-6 /pt/fujitsu/ ServerViewSuite/RepServer/bin/dwnladApplicatin.sh -t # $TAG. 12 ServerView Update Repsitry

13 2.3 Uninstalling the Repsitry Server The first dwnlad is scheduled t start at the earliest ne hur after installatin and is repeated every day at the same time. The first dwnlad may take mre than 2 hurs as the cmplete repsitry is laded. Subsequent dwnlads nly take an average f 5 minutes as nly new and changed versins are laded. The required disk space fr the lcal repsitry in the $RtRepPath directry is 20 GB. ($RtRepPath is defined in the cnfiguratin file, see belw.) 2.3 Uninstalling the Repsitry Server The Repsitry Server functinality is uninstalled by remving the RPM package. The current firmware repsitry remains unchanged during remve f the package. Please remve the repsitry manually if its bslete. A reinstall f the Repsitry Server will restre the link frm the Apache web page t the frmer repsitry when it is left untuched! Thus an update installatin will renew the tls but it will update and prvide the repsitry already present. ServerView Update Repsitry 13

14 14 ServerView Update Repsitry

15 3.1 Cnfiguring the Repsitry Server 3 Cnfiguring the Repsitry Server and updating its functinality After the installatin prcess is cmpleted, yu need t check the installatin and t mdify the cnfiguratin values in the /pt/fujitsu/serverviewsuite/repserver/cfg/repserver.cnf cnfiguratin file t yur needs. If a newer Repsitry Server versin is available, yu can update yur update repsitry's functinality withut any impact n the current firmware repsitry and the current Repsitry Server cnfiguratin. 3.1 Cnfiguring the Repsitry Server After the installatin prcess is cmpleted, yu need t check the installatin and t mdify the cnfiguratin values in the /pt/fujitsu/serverviewsuite/repserver/cfg/repserver.cnf cnfiguratin file t yur needs. The cnfiguratin file /pt/fujitsu/serverviewsuite/repserver/cfg/repserver.cnf cnsists f tw parts: The first sectin cntains thse parameters whse values yu can change by yur wn. The secnd sectin cntains internal parameters whse values shuld nly be mdified by an expert user. Yu can adjust the fllwing parameters t yur needs (see als the explanatry ntes in the cnfiguratin file): The Prxy settings fr the dwnlad frm the Fujitsu Dwnlad Server. The RtRepPath destinatin lcatin fr dwnlading. The LinkMde parameter fr the dwnlad prcess, which allws yu t set up the repsitry in a wrk directry. If LinkMde=0, a wrking directry is used fr setting up the repsitry. This requires an additinal strage space f mre than 20 GB. At the end f the dwnlad prcess, the repsitry is switched t its ServerView Update Repsitry 15

16 3 Cnfiguring the Repsitry Server and updating its functinality destinatin lcatin. Advantage: Required disk space is lwer than in case f LinkMde=1. If LinkMde=1, n wrking directry is used. Disadvantage: Repsitry lck is set fr a lng time. Advantage: Disk space needed is lwer than in case LinkMde=0. LcalRepPath pints t the directry where the inf files frm the rt f the Fujitsu repsitry (e.g. versintree.txt) are stred after dwnlading. ExchangeRepPath is the lcatin where the parameter tree (Gf_par_ tree.exe) dwnladed frm Fujitsu server is extracted. PrvisiningRepPath If LinkMde=0, PrvisiningRepPath pints t the lcal repsitry that can be accessed frm ServerView Operatins Manager r frm anther client. If LinkMde=1, PrvisiningRepPath tggles between pinting t the publicly accessible repsitry and pinting t the repsitry the next dwnlad wrks n PrvisiningAlternateRepPath (nt used if LinkMde=0.) PrvisiningAlternateRepPath tggles between pinting t the publicly accessible repsitry and pinting t the wrking directry. The CrnJb entry in crntab. The and SMTP parameter settings. It is recmmended t add the SMTP server address and recipients in rder t get messages abut the dwnlad prgress. Values in the expert sectin f the cnfiguratin file shuld be left unchanged t avid damage (e.g. the mdificatin f RtFujitsuRepServer may cause that the firmware dwnlad will be initialized!). Yu may als mdify the crn jb in the crntab f rt. But this takes nly effect fr the next start f the dwnlad applicatin. T make permanent changes fr the crn jb, the CrnJb parameter in the cnfiguratin file must be mdified accrdingly. The reasn is, the dwnlad applicatin will always restre the crntab entry frm the cnfiguratin file upn its next activatin. 16 ServerView Update Repsitry

21 4.1 Running the Repsitry Server 4 Wrking with the Repsitry Server 4.1 Running the Repsitry Server The Repsitry Server des nt have a graphical user interface. It is started peridically as a crn jb by the Crntab Scheduler. It can als be started manually frm the cnsle windw using the cmmand line interface: dwnladapplicatin [-t] [-i] -t -i Trace flag n Interactive flag n dwnladapplicatin -h displays the usage message. The crn jb can be called fr example as fllws: /usr/bin/dwnladapplicatin.sh -t After crrect installatin, the Repsitry Server des nt need any mnitring r maintenance. Any administrative actins shall be dne via the RepServer.cnf cnfiguratin file and the Linux perating system. ServerView Update Repsitry 21

22 4 Wrking with the Repsitry Server 4.2 Files needed fr analyzing The fllwing files are needed fr analysis purpses: /pt/fujitsu/serverviewsuite/repserver/cfg/repserver.cnf (Repsitry Server cnfiguratin file) /var/lg/fujitsu/serverviewsuite/repserver/repserver.lg (if cnfigured in rsyslg cnfiguratin file /etc/rsyslg.cnf). Trace files dwnladapplicatin.lg<id> and FileDwnlad.lg<id> in the directry specified by $RtRepPath.The $RtRepPath variable set in the /pt/fujitsu/serverviewsuite/repserver/cfg/repserver.cnf cnfiguratin file. T accmplish that the trace files dwnladapplicatin.lg<id> and FileDwnlad.lg<id> are created, prceed as fllws: 1. Start the crntab editr frm a terminal windw: crntab -e 2. Edit the crntab entry f dwnladapplicatiby adding the trace ptin -t: /pt/fujitsu/serverviewsuite/repserver/bin/dwnlad Applicatin.sh -t Trace files will be created as described abve the next time this crn jb is started. 22 ServerView Update Repsitry

23 4.3 Implementatin issues 4.3 Implementatin issues The shell script dwnladapplicatin.sh uses the (internal) FileDwnlad prgram fr dwnlading a single file frm the Fujitsu web server: The shell script dwnladapplicatin.sh evaluates its cnfiguratin file t determine which update cmpnents are t be dwnladed (variable DwnladVariant) t the lcal repsitry (variable RtRepPath). Currently, "cmplete" is the nly value allwed fr the variable DwnladVariant. The shell script dwnladapplicatin.sh thereby prceeds as fllws: 1. The script evaluates the versintree.txt file, whether a dwnlad is necessary. If this applies, the versinall.exe and gf_par_tree.exe files are dwnladed and extracted int the lcatin specified by $ExchangeRepPath. The gf_par_tree.exe file cntains the parameter tree. 2. The script traverses the extracted parameter tree file by cmparing each f its leaves with the crrespnding leave f the lcal repsitry. Accrding t the cmparisn result, a leaf is deleted, dwnladed, r remains unchanged in the lcal repsitry. A dwnladed file is stred temprarily int $ExchangeRepPath and then cpied t the wrking repsitry which is $PrvisiningRepPath in case f LinkMde=0 and a nn-public repsitry in case f LinkMde=1. 3. The script traverses the extracted parameter tree file by cmparing each f its leaves with the crrepnding leave f the lcal repsitry. Accrding t the cmparisn result, a leaf is deleted, dwnladed, r remains unchanged in the lcal repsitry. A dwnladed file is stred temprarily int $ExchangeRepPath and then cpied t the wrking repsitry which is $PrvisiningRepPath in case f LinkMde=0 and a nn-public repsitry in case f LinkMde=1. This ensures that the newest repsitry changes n the Fujitsu web server are synchrnized with the lcal repsitry. ServerView Update Repsitry 23
