Make sure that your hardware and software meet the minimum requirements mentioned in Section 2.0, System Requirements.
Ensure that the libstdc++33-32-bit rpm is installed. You can install this rpm either by using Ya ST or by using the zypper command:

For Sentinel Log Manager 1.2 and later to work successfully on SLES 11 SP1, the following RPMs or a later version must be installed:
Kernel patches:
kernel-default-2.6.32.29-0.3.1.x86_64.rpm
kernel-default-base-2.6.32.29-0.3.1.x86_64.rpm
Linux util RPMs:
libblkid1-2.16-6.11.1.x86_64.rpm
libuuid1-2.16-6.11.1.x86_64.rpm
util-linux-2.16-6.11.1.x86_64.rpm
util-linux-lang-2.16-6.11.1.x86_64.rpm
uuid-runtime-2.16-6.11.1.x86_64.rpm
Sentinel Log Manager 1.1.0.x uses squashfs version 3.4-35.1; however SLES 11 SP1 supports squashfs 4.0 and later, which is not backward compatible and cannot open a squashed file system created with previous squashfs versions. Installing these RPMs fixes the incompatibility issue between the squashfs versions of Sentinel Log Manager 1.1.0.x and SLES 11 SP1.
These RPMs are available through the SLES 11 online update channel. For more information on updating the SLES system, see YaST Online Update
in the SLES 11 SP1 Administration Guide.
NOTE:The installation does not proceed unless the above mentioned kernel patches and Linux util rpms are installed.
Configure the operating system in such a way that the hostname -f command returns a valid hostname.
Obtain your license key from the Novell Customer Care Center, to install the licensed version.
Synchronize time by using the Network Time Protocol (NTP).
Install the following operating system commands:
mount
umount
id
df
du
sudo
Make sure that the following ports are opened on the firewall:
TCP 8080, TCP 8443, TCP 61616, TCP 10013, TCP 1289, TCP 1468, TCP 1443, and UDP 1514
For more information on what these ports are used for, see Section 4.2, Ports Used.
