Prerequisites
System Requirements
The system requirements are unchanged from the prior release. GroundWork recommends the following minimum hardware specification for correct operation in production: 2 CPU, 3 GHz P4 or equivalent 4 GB RAM 160 GB disk Recommended hardware specification Quad Core 2 class CPU 8 GB RAM 200 GB disk for system 500 GB disk for application For smaller environments and evaluations GroundWork Monitor Enterprise Edition requires a minimum of 2GB of RAM and 4GB of disk for correct operation. Note: If GroundWork Monitor is installed on a system with less than 4 GB of RAM then it will be configured to operate within the limited resources. The system will have lower monitoring throughput and will only support a few concurrent users as a result.
Platform Requirements

GroundWork Monitor Enterprise Edition has been tested on the following platforms: RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 Server and 6.0 Server, 32- and 64-bit. CentOS 5, 32- and 64-bit. Novell SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 and 11, 32- and 64-bit. Ubuntu Server 8.04 LTS, 9.10, 10.04 32- and 64-bit. If installing in a virtualized environment, particularly VMware ESX, 64-bit installations with a single virtual CPU are recommended. Installation of VMware tools and configuration of host time synchronization is highly recommended in all VMware environments. Vmware appliances downloaded from GroundWork already have VMware tools installed, and it should not be necessary to re-install or update VMware tools for proper operation.
Java Compatibility
GroundWork Monitor specifically requires Sun Microsystems' Java SDK version 1.6 Update 29. This software is included in the GroundWork installation bundle. Under some circumstances other Java packages can interfere with the Sun provided software. For Support to troubleshoot any reported issues with your system, other Java packages must be removed prior to installation by following these steps, or equivalent steps on Ubuntu-based systems. Query for existing Java packages:
rpm -qa | grep -i java rpm -qa | grep -i jdk

Clean Installation
Transfer the GWOS software to the server it is being installed on. Change the permissions of the binary to executable. For example, with the 32-bit installer binary:
chmod +x groundworkenterprise-6.6.0-br238-gw1248-linux-64-installer.bin
Installation Methods
The installer package supports 3 modes: GUI, text, and unattended. The default is GUI if an X server is running, otherwise text mode will be used. GroundWork does not recommend running X server in a production deployment due to the unnecessary overhead.
GUI Install
From a system with X server running, simply double-click on the bin file or go to the command shell and execute the downloaded file. Alternatively simply execute the installation package:
./groundworkenterprise-6.6.0-br238-gw1248-linux-64-installer.bin
Unattended Install
From a command shell, execute the binary with the unattended-mode installation selected:
./groundworkenterprise-6.6.0-br238-gw1248-linux-64-installer.bin --mode unattended
This will perform an unattended installation that will not prompt the user for any information. Passing the 'optionfile' command line option lets you specify installation options in a separate file. The option file should contain one line per option, using the format key=value. You can use any of the options accepted by the installer. For information on valid options, execute the binary with the --help switch. For example, to use a MySQL password specified in the options
./groundworkenterprise-6.6.0-br238-gw1248-linux-64-installer.bin --mode unattended --optionfile gwinstall.ini
Remote Install
Using SSH, access a remote server and use the text based install (see above). This is the most common way to install GroundWork Monitor remotely. If you perform the remote install from a machine that runs an X server, you can use SSH with the -X option and run the install with the GUI mode. Example:
ssh -XC -l root target-machine ./groundworkenterprise-6.6.0-br238-gw1248-linux-64-installer.bin
Note GroundWork Monitor includes all prerequisites and components within a single installation package. The software components of GroundWork Monitor are installed under /usr/local/groundwork with the exception of the log rotation configuration and the start/stop script named /etc/init.d/groundwork. It is used as follows: /etc/init.d/groundwork [start|stop] This script can also be used to restart individual services. For example:
/etc/init.d/groundwork restart nagios

Note that you will need to update the portal.proxy.password in /usr/local/groundwork/config /foundation.properties if you change the user account password.
