Installing Unified Manager on Linux systems

It is important that you understand that the sequence of steps to download and install Unified Manager varies according to your installation scenario.

  • Creating a custom user home directory and umadmin password prior to installation
    You can create a custom home directory and define your own umadmin user password prior to installing Unified Manager. This task is optional, but some sites might need the flexibility to override Unified Manager installation default settings.
  • Downloading Unified Manager
    You must download the Unified Manager .zip file from the Lenovo Support Site to install Unified Manager.
  • Installing Unified Manager
    You can install Unified Manager on a physical or virtual Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS platform.
  • Users created during Unified Manager installation
    When you install Unified Manager on Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS, the following users are created by Unified Manager and third-party utilities: umadmin, jboss, and mysql.
  • Changing the JBoss password
    You can reset the instance-specific JBoss password that is set during installation. You can reset the password optionally, in case your site requires this security capability to override the Unified Manager installation setting. This operation also changes the password JBoss uses to access MySQL.
