3.0 Upgrading from Fortefi 2.1.6 to Novell Privileged User Manager 2.2

When you upgrade from your previous release of Fortefi* to Novell Privileged User Manager, some packages have dependencies built in; therefore they do not appear as updates until a particular package has already been deployed to your framework.

To upgrade, complete the following tasks:

3.1 Importing the 2.2 Packages onto a 2.1.x System

  1. Create a directory such as framework on the Framework Manager machine.

    This directory is called framework in the rest of these instructions.

  2. Copy the novell-npum-packages-2.2.0.tar.gz from the Package Manager directory on the CD to Framework Manager machine.

  3. Extract the file to the framework directory.

    For UNIX* and Linux platforms, use the following commands:

    gunzip novell-npum-packages-2.2.0.tar.gz

    tar -xvf novell-npum-packages-2.2.0.tar

    For Windows platforms, use WinZip to extract the file.

  4. Use the following command to publish the packages to the Package Manager.

    Replace <admin> with the name of your admin user.

    For Linux and UNIX platforms:

    /opt/novell/npum/sbin/unifi -u <admin> distrib publish -d framework

    For Windows platforms:

    c:\Program Files\novell\npum\bin\unifi -u <admin> distrib publish -d framework

  5. When prompted, enter the password for the admin user.

  6. (Optional) To view available packages, log in to the Framework Manager, then click Package Manager.

  7. Delete the framework directory.

3.2 Updating the Hosts with the New Packages

After the 2.2 packages have been manually imported to the Package Manager, they appear along with any existing 2.1.x packages already in the repository. When you run the update process from the Hosts console, the 2.2 packages appear as updates.

  1. Log in to the Framework Manager.

  2. Click Hosts.

  3. To update a domain, select the domain, then click Update Domain Packages.

  4. To update an individual host, select the host, then click Update Packages.

All packages have a dependency on the 2.2 Framework patch being deployed before they appear as updates.

4.0 Getting Started

If you are new to Privileged User Manager, you might want to use the Evaluation Quick Start Guide which explains how install some pre-configured databases and then walks you through some configuration exercises. To download these resources:

5.0 Known Issues

5.1 Command Control with SLED and SLES

On SUSE® Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), the following message is displayed:

/bin/ls: cannot read symbolic link /proc/22154/exe: Permission denied

If you are using SLED, the ksh shell is not installed by default. Check your packages, and ensure that the ksh package is installed.

The error message is caused by the following line in the /etc/ksh.kshrc file:

     case "`/bin/ls --color=never -l /proc/$$/exe`" in

On both SLED and SLES, open the /etc/ksh.kshrc file and change the line to the following:

     case "`/bin/ls --color=never -l /proc/$$/exe 2>/dev/null`" in

5.2 Using Start and Stop Commands

The commands to start and stop the Framework Manager were not updated in the context-sensitive help. For the correct commands, please refer to “Stopping and Restarting the Framework”.

5.3 You Cannot Restart a Host from the Framework Manager

In the Framework Manager, when you click Host, select a host, then click Restart Agent, you can select either a soft restart or a hard restart. These options don’t work.

To restart the host, you must access the machine and specify a restart command. The commands to restart an agent or a Framework Manager are the same. For a list of these command for all platforms, see “Starting and Stopping the Framework”.
