to the /etc/services file

this did not work but I did find the solution

#! Opened a call with support. Need to disable SELinux.
#! SELinux has two major components on your system. There’s the kernel mechanism which is
#! enforcing a bunch of access rules which apply to processes and files. And secondly,
#! there’s file labels : every file on your system has extra labels attached to it which
#! tie-in with those access rules. Run ls -Z and you’ll see what I mean.
[root@dossmonitor2 log]# getenforce
Enforcing

#! Temporarily change it from Enforcing to Permissive, ran a test and it works now.
#! This was the major issue.
[root@dossmonitor2 log]# echo 0 > /selinux/enforce
[root@dossmonitor2 log]# getenforce
Permissive

#! Now make the change perminent so it will work when rebooted.
#! change SELINUX=enforcing to SELINUX=permissive
[root@dossmonitor2 client]# cd /etc/selinux
[root@dossmonitor2 selinux]# ll
total 32
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 512 Jan 5 14:46 config
-rw——- 1 root root 234 Jan 7 2010 restorecond.conf
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 1752 Jul 28 2009 semanage.conf
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Feb 3 13:17 targeted
[root@dossmonitor2 selinux]# vi config

[root@dossmonitor2 selinux]# cat config
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing – SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive – SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled – SELinux is fully disabled.
SELINUX=permissive
# SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are:
# targeted – Only targeted network daemons are protected.
# strict – Full SELinux protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted

# SETLOCALDEFS= Check local definition changes
SETLOCALDEFS=0

#! reboot to make sure that it stays permissive
[root@dossmonitor2 selinux]# reboot

[root@dossmonitor2 ~]# getenforce
Permissive

#! try the upgrade again

I had to manually add the Red Hat client to the cell_info file in \OmniBack\Config\Server\cell on the Windows Cell Manager.

Thanks for this. Following these steps allowed us to install the HPDP client on Oracle Enterprise Linux’s Xen Server. The only change was using up2date rather than yum to install xinetd and ncompress.

I’m trying to install install DP6 client onto RHEL4.6 but my windows Cell Manager cannot import the client.

Name resolution is OK in both directions.
IP tables is off for the moment.
I can telnet port 5555 in both directions

Hi Rory,

can you post the result of the ‘ls -la’ of the directory in which you run ./omnisetup.sh?

Bye
