• NMIS8 should be patched or updated to the correct level.
• Install mySQL (very brief steps)
  • yum install mysql
  • yum install mysql-server (this should install DBI and DBD::mysql for Perl as well)
  • chkconfig mysqld on
  • service mysqld start
  • /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
  • service mysqld start
• Install mySQL (Debian/Ubuntu)
  • apt-get install mysql-server
  • apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
  • sysv-rc-conf mysql on
  • service mysql start
  • /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
  • service mysql restart
• If not already installed, install the Perl CPAN package DBD::mysql (which may require you to install DBI first)
  • For Debian/Ubuntu, just run:
    • perl -MCPAN -e "shell"
    • install DBD::mysql
• Copy the opSLA tarball to the server (a tarball is a GZIP'd tar file, e.g. opsla-2012-05-09-1315.tar.gz)
  1. You may need to use SCP or FTP to get the file onto the server.
• Change into the directory where the tarball was copied (the file will now likely be in the users home directory)
• Untar the file and copy the contents to NMIS8

unalias cp (not required for Debian/Ubuntu)
cd ~
tar xvf ~/opsla-<version>.tar.gz
cd opsla/
cp -r * /usr/local/nmis8/
/usr/local/nmis8/admin/fixperms.pl
