Remote UNIX agents and clients

(Clients only) TCP/IP must be pre-installed on the recipient node.

Open Motif package on Linux agent

On Red Hat Linux, SuSE Linux, and SuSE zLinux, the Dimensions client and agent require the Open Motif package to be pre-installed, for example, openmotif-devel-XXX.rpm. Use the Yast2 utility or an equivalent Linux tool.

Security on Red Hat Enterprise Linux

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 and 6.x, as user root, run the Red Hat System Level Configuration Tool:

# system-config-securitylevel

Check that these settings are disabled:

  • Firewall

  • SE Linux (Security Enhanced Linux)

If the setting are not disabled, the following error message is displayed when you run dmcli after installing CM (even though the Dimensions listener runs correctly):

$ dmcli

License Server: createJob failed: -2

License Server: createJob failed: -2

ACL4500017E Error: Cannot open

The licence server is running.

Important:Disabling the firewall and SE Linux may go against your security policies.
