installed, the OMNIbus software can be provided.
Add the required users

There are two users that must be created to facilitate the installation of SmartCloud
Analytics - Predictive Insights and its requirements.
About this task

The two users that you must create are:
v scadmin
v db2inst1
The db2inst1 user must be created on the server on which you install DB2. The
scadmin user must be created on the server on which analytics is installed, and also
on the database server.
Procedure
1. As root user on the database server and on the analytics server, add the user
account scadmin.
The following are the commands that are required to create this user:
groupadd scadmin
useradd -g scadmin -d /home/scadmin -s /bin/bash scadmin
passwd scadmin
2. As user root on the database server, create an OS user within the relevant
group.
groupadd db2iadm1
useradd -g db2iadm1 -d /home/db2inst1 -s /bin/bash db2inst1
passwd db2inst1
3. As root user on the database server, add the existing scadmin user to the same
primary group as the DB2 instance owner, by default this user is db2inst1.
For example, add the user scadmin to the group db2iadm1.
usermod -G scadmin,db2iadm1 scadmin
4. On the database server, add the following source command into the
~scadmin/.bashrc file:
if [ -f /home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile ]; then
. /home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile
fi
The commands assume two things:

v db2inst1 is the DB2 instance owner.
v /home/db2inst1 is the home area of the DB2 instance owner
KSH and required libraries

SmartCloud Analytics - Predictive Insights requires the installation of KSH and
some libraries.
Before you begin

Note: This is not a statement of the libraries required by the SmartCloud Analytics
- Predictive Insights pre-requirements, that is, DB2, InfoSphere Streams, and
Netcool/OMNIbus. To find the required libraries for these products, you must run
the product-specific dependency checker scripting or check the product-specific
documentation.
About this task

The Analytics server requires the following packages:
v 64-bit packages:
atlas
compat-libgfortran-41
lapack
blas
The Database server requires the following packages:

v 64-bit packages:
dapl
sg3_utils
The following are the required on all servers in the topology:
v 32-bit packages:
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
v 64-bit packages:
compat-libstdc++-33
KSH is also a software requirement.
Procedure
1. For each required library enter the command, yum install, followed by the
name of that library.
2. If you see this error from yum when installing the 32-bit libstdc++ libraries:
Error: Protected multilib versions: libstdc++
Then run yum update libstdc++ and re-try the install.

3. If KSH is not on your system, install it as follows:
yum install ksh
DB2
DB2 is a requirement of SmartCloud Analytics - Predictive Insights.
Document caveat
This installation guide provides a shortened version of the DB2 installation
process.
Note: It must be noted the installation process prescribed in this documentation is
not meant to replace the product-specific documentation. The installation process
here contained for DB2 has been provided for the convenience of the end-user and
should only be used if:
v You are performing a basic install of DB2, accepting all the default options.
v You are performing a trial installation of the SmartCloud Analytics - Predictive
Insights product.
You must consult the official DB2 documentation if:
v You intend to use extra options or steps that are not the default as described in
this document.
v You intend to install multiple instances of the required product
The official and complete IBM DB2 Installation instructions and release notes are
available in the IBM DB2 Database for Linux, UNIX, and Windows Information
Center: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v10r1/index.jsp.
Install processes
The following are the two options for DB2 installation covered in this document:
v Install DB2 as non-root
v Install DB2 as root
Both of these options are covered in the following sections, only one of these
options is to be pursued.
Information required for SmartCloud Analytics - Predictive

Insights installation
The installation process for SmartCloud Analytics - Predictive Insights requires that
you have your DB2 installation information at the ready.
The following table lists the DB2 information items that the SmartCloud Analytics Predictive Insights installer requests as you pursue the installation process. It is a
good practice to make note of all listed items as you install the DB2 database.

Installing DB2 as non-root

About this task

The DB2 installer automatically creates and configures a non-root instance during a
non-root installation. As a non-root user, you can customize the configuration of
the non-root instance during the installation. You can also use and maintain the
installed DB2 database product without root privileges. The non-root installation of
a DB2 database product has one DB2 instance with most features enabled by
default.
A non-root installation can be attractive for many groups, such as:
v Enterprises that have thousands of workstations and users who want to install a
DB2 database product without consuming a system administrator's time
v Application developers who are not typically system administrators but use DB2
database products to develop applications
v Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) who develop software that does not
require root user authority yet embeds a DB2 database product
Although non-root installations have most of the function of root installations,
there are some differences and limitations. You can lift some of the limitations by
having a root user run the db2rfe command.
Before you install any DB2 database product as a non-root user, be aware of the
differences between root installations and non-root installations, and the limitations
of non-root installations. For more information on non-root installation, see
Installing DB2 database servers as a non-root user in the DB2 Information Center.
The following tasks are described in order to allow you install DB2 as a non-root
user:
Procedure
1.
2.
3.
4.
Prepare for DB2 installation by installing the required libraries.

Install DB2 using the non-root user account.
Enabling root-based features in non-root installations with db2rfe
If your DB2 installation connection has problems, runs some checks to verify
your installation.
Prepare for DB2 installation as non-root

You must create the non-root user to carry out the installation of DB2 and add the
required files.
About this task

DB2 can be installed as a non-root user. The ongoing management of DB2 is done
as the DB2 instance owner. Typically the DB2 instance owner is db2inst1.
For more information on DB2 installation prerequisites, see Operating system user
limit requirements (Linux and UNIX) in the DB2 Information Center.
Procedure
1. As db2inst1, copy the DB2 installation software to the directory in which you
want to extract it.
2. Change the permissions on the folder, if necessary, to be owned by db2inst1.
3. As db2inst1, extract the DB2 installation software.
For example:
tar zxvf v10.1fp2_linuxx64_wser.tar.gz
Note: The package filename is correct for DB2 installation version IBM DB2
Workgroup Server Edition 10.1 FP2
4. As db2inst1, change to the wser directory and run the DB2 prerequisites
checker script.
For example:
./db2prereqcheck -v 10.1.0.2
You can ignore alerts in relation to the following:

v /lib/libpam.so*
v rdma
v InfiniBand
v modprobe.conf
v OpenSSH
5. As root, install any packages that are called out as problems by the
db2prereqcheck script.
For example:
yum install dapl
yum install sg3_utils
6. Check if SELINUX is enabled, and if so disable it.

For example:
vi /etc/selinux/config
SELINUX=disabled
7. Restart the server if the SELINUX setting was changed.
DB2 installation as non-root

Install DB2 as the non-root user db2inst1.
Before you begin

Verify your operating system user process resource limits (ulimits). If the minimum
ulimit values are not met, the DB2 engine can encounter unexpected operating
resource shortage errors. These errors can lead to a DB2 database system outage.
See the section Recommended ulimit values for non-root installations in the DB2
Information Center for details of the recommended ulimit values.
Procedure
1. Log in as the non-root user db2inst1.
2. Change to the directory containing the installation software.
For example:
# cd /home/db2inst1/db2/wser
3. As db2inst1, run the db2setup script:

# ./db2_install
4. Select WSE and click Enter.

5. Follow the installation wizard to complete the installation.
Enable root-based features in non-root installations with db2rfe

There are several features and abilities in non-root installations that are initially
unavailable but which can be enabled by running a the db2rfe command.
About this task

There are further limitations on non-root installations that can be overcome by
running the db2rfe command. The following features and abilities are initially
unavailable in non-root installations:
v Operating system-based authentication
v The ability to reserve service names in the /etc/services file
They will be enabled using db2rfe_config_file.cfg available in the unpacked
PredictiveInsights.tgz
Procedure
To enable the features and abilities that are initially unavailable in non-root
installations:
1. Navigate to the predictiveInsightsInstaller1.2 directory, that is within the
directory in which you unpacked PredictiveInsights.tgz.
2. Copy the sample configuration file, db2rfe_config_file.cfg, to a different
location, for example, /home/db2inst1.
3. Update the copied configuration file as needed. This configuration file is input
to the db2rfe command. Our Example enables:
v Operating system-based authentication
v The ability to reserve service names in the /etc/services file
Note: Consult DB2 documentation and update as preferred
10
4. Stop DB2. As db2inst1, run:

# db2stop
5. End the server to client process: As db2inst1, run:

# db2 terminate
6. Log in with root user authority.

7. Navigate to the $HOME/sqllib/instance directory, where $HOME represent's the
non-root user's home directory.
8. Run the db2rfe command referring to the updated configuration file. For
example:
./db2rfe -f /home/db2inst1/db2rfe_config_file.cfg
Where:
v db2rfe_config_file.cfg is the configuration file provided in
PredictiveInsights.tgz.
v /home/db2inst1 is the directory to which you copied
db2rfe_config_file.cfg. If you copied this to another directory, please
update the command syntax to refer to your chosen directory.
DB2 post installation tasks

Configure your DB2 installation so that it is running correctly.
Procedure
1. Stop DB2. As db2inst1, run:
# db2stop
2. End the server to client process: As db2inst1, run:

# db2 terminate
3. If the port is closed you may need to disable iptables on the DB2 server.
As root, run the following commands:
service iptables stop
/sbin/chkconfig --del iptables
4. Check DB config to ensure SVCENAME is correct.

Run the following command as db2inst1:
# db2 get dbm cfg | grep SVCENAME
If SVCENAME does not match "db2c_db2inst1" then update using the

following command:
# db2 update dbm cfg using SVCENAME db2c_db2inst1
5. Verify SVCENAME, as seen in step 4, exists for correct port in /etc/services file. If
not then append it to /etc/services file.
db2c_db2inst1 50000/tcp
6. Ensure the communication protocols for DB2 instance uses TCPIP.

As db2inst1, run:
# db2set DB2COMM=tcpip
7. Start DB2:
As DB2inst1 run command:
# db2start
What to do next
See the section Verifying the installation using the command line processor (CLP) in the
DB2 Information Center to confirm that DB2 was installed correctly.

Installing InfoSphere Streams software

Installing InfoSphere Streams software for SmartCloud Analytics - Predictive
Insights.
Before you begin

1. As root, edit the /etc/selinux/config file to set SELinux to disabled.
A change to this policy requires a restart of the Linux VM/Server
See the section "Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) for IBM InfoSphere
Streams" contained in the IBM InfoSphere Streams information center:
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/streams/v3r0/index.jsp.
2. Ensure the user that is being used to install InfoSphere Streams has executable
permissions on the /tmp, /opt, and /home file systems.
3. Ensure that su from the root user does not require that you enter a password.
4. Check the /etc/hosts file to make sure that the server name is not on the same
line as the loop back address.
For example, if you have an address that looks like:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost <server_name>
Then, remove the server name so that it looks like:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
The loopback address must not be removed.

5. Make sure the created user (scadmin in our example) has full permissions on
the InfoSphere Streams installation software.
6. Change to the scadmin user, for example:
su - scadmin
7. Extract the InfoSphere Streams installation software, for example:

tar zxvf Streams-3.1.0.0-x86_64-el6.tar.gz
8. Change to the <Streams installation folder> and as scadmin use the

InfoSphere Streams dependency checker:
cd <Streams installation folder>
./dependency_checker.sh
The standard streams installation folder is ~scadmin/InfoSphereStreams.

You may receive alerts that the following file is missing:
v perl-XML-Simple
The files are installed manually and can be found in the directory <Streams
installation folder>/rpm.
To install a missing rpm, run the following command:
yum install <rpm_name>.rpm
Note: If root user permissions are required to install missing files, make sure
that you switch back to your InfoSphere Streams user, scadmin, after you
complete the installation.
Procedure
1. Run the installer as scadmin:
cd <Streams installation folder>
./InfoSphereStreamsSetup.bin
When the installation is complete the Postinstallation Tasks dialog is

displayed, which lists the set of initial configuration tasks for InfoSphere
Streams.
14
2. Run the following tasks only from the First Steps:

v Configure the SSH environment
v Generate public and private keys
